Because of my experience, based upon the color, size and shape of the beads in the bracelet: they are Qing Dynasty amber beads from a Mandarin Court Necklace. However, most of the large beads in the big photo look like phenolic resin...Sleuthing is part of the enjoyable challenge of shopping in China. And reaching a decision concerning amber using only a photograph is risky.

To answer the question —as asked: "On Earth, I believe that the amber beads in the bracelet belong to the the Mandarin Chinese from the Qing dynasty, 1644-1912."
