Visually the green stones in the first resemble chrome diopside. The last two look like white stones, and that white solitaire looks like a scratched up cz.

A lot of stones can look alike if you don't know what to look for. For instance, if that first stone looks "flat" (without some refraction) it could be glass or synthetic tourmaline or chrome diopaide, among other gems. If it's "silky" and dull it could be peridot, but it looks a little to "granny smith" to be one IMO. If it's refractive or "glittery" it can indicate anything from natural green garnet to YAG to CZ.

Knowing if these are natural gemstones would narrow it down. I know my answer wasnt too helpful but it should give you something to work with. Best of luck!
 
Oh and that solitaire could be anything from a pale aquamarine, to a CZ, to white topaz or white sapphire. It's so hard to tell from photos. I'd bring them into a jeweler if you think they're something really special or know for a fact that they're natural gemstones but don't know which ones.

Saw "925" on one band ring band, indicates synthetic stones, probably CZ. If the others indicate the band is solid gold or platinum they're more likely to be natural gemstones. If they're silver I'd just have fun wearing them but not worry about their value, they're probably not costly.
 
1st pic could be chrome diopside or tsavorite garnets.
2nd pic could be prasiolite, aquamarine.
3rd pic could be Alexandrite.

Sorry, I'm no gemologist. Just some suggestions for you!

the identity of a Colored gem cannot be determined by color, it requires multiple tests on specialized equipment by a Gemologist. The Best place to start is a stamp inside the shank. If there is no stamp (like 14k or other) and the color appears to be rubbing off to reveal a grey base metal chances are its a Simulant found in costume Jewelry like glass or Cz. If there is a stamp, take it to a Jeweler and have them use the thermal tester on the white stones to check if they are diamond. If they are, its might be worth an appraisal by a Certified Gemologist. If not, its probably not worth the money to find out. as a rule I don't really think anything under $500 is worth paying for appraisal. The green gems if genuine are probably semi-precious as some of the other poster had suggest, probably not efficient to pay $100, $150 for evaluation. Wear and enjoy! :)
 
I am obsessed with the bracelet Kate Winslet is wearing in her Lancome ads. Does anyone recognize the designer, etc.? I feel like it's something I should know, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

Thanks!
