welcome to BCN, Anne!
however, the carved beads on the website you reference are not peach stones but Canarium Album, or so-called chinese olives. seen end-on you may notice a 3-lobed symmetry on these beads, usually still slightly visible after they have been carved...
those beads are likely later than 19th C.
