I bought these at an estate sale, I was told they were jade? Do these look authentic? I bought three of them and the close up is of one of the three.
Thanks!

Not belt hooks but could have been slipped over strap for decoration.

Look like authentic recent-made carved hardstone. Others might have opinion about stone if you provide in-focus closeup of each, photo taken in natural light.

Good luck,
Cal

I tried to add a better photo of one of them, all three are the same color (light green) and size. They appear to be a buddha, tiger and some sort of lion.

This last green one is not Jade, and it is modern.

Thank you for the information! I guess I shouldn't listen to people when they tell me something is jade! I only paid $20 for all three of them at an estate sale and I think they are neat so not a big loss.

Assuming that the first and third picture show the same item..NO, that is not Jade, but Serpentine. The white ones..we need a better close-up.
