The coral and jade beads are Chinese too. In this size and configuration probably buttons. The size and quality suggests to me that the coral and jade may have been taken from good Mandarin Court Necklaces. So, all three are adaptations.

But the ceramic bead is unusual and I don't recall seeing one quite like it. And I have specialized in Chinese and Japanese beads for nearly forty five years.
