I've had these items for a little bit and have tried everything I know in searching more info but am at a loss! I'm still newer at all this so I'm sure there's a ton still to learn. I am wondering maker and era/age if anyone has any insight. Any help is greatly appreciated!

The fish and starfish look Indian as in India. If I were guessing I'd say Philippines and recent for the bangle, but no idea who made the others.

The lucite bangle with inlaid either real or faux mother-of-pearl is from about the 80's or 90's.
The clear lucite necklace is nicely make. Drilled, rather than strung, with black spacers. I'm guessing 80's again.
I agree with ev that the fish necklace is middle east and possibly silver.
The last necklace is fairly modern. Necklaces made with lobster claw clasps that are adjustable in length are usually from the 90's on.

The bracelet inlay is definitely synthetic. The clear lucite chunks could easily be 80s, but could also be much later. It's not junk for sure - each bead is strung on a metal link and they didn't do that with junk. Somebody cared. The critter necklace is almost certainly nickel or "white brass" but test it just in case. I've never found pieces like that yet in precious metal but there's a first time for everything.

Thanks so much evelyb30! That's very helpful! I need to get a tester kit I guess. lol these just seemed so unique and frustrating that I couldn't find anything at all.
Thanks again!
