OP edited her posts for personal reasons.

Can you please post a photo of the entire strand on a white background? Also-- "authentic" what, exactly? Freshwater? Saltwater?

GIA would identify the natural pearls, if any.

They don't look dyed to me.

They look like ordinary dyed freshwater pearls.

Pre-owned pearls do not tend to hold their value on resale, but many folks succeed in selling the ones they no longer want, especially if they are particularly unusual or beautiful. Realize, however, that there are a gazillion freshwater pearls on the resale market. These may be hard to sell...

They do look like freshwater pearls....

Douglas or Jeremy should know the answer to that. @CortezPearls @jshepherd

What do you mean by mixed?

Yes. And they look like natural colors.

Sorry I wasn't clear before; the bracelet is also freshwater pearls.

They are imitation pearls.

Bead nucleated freshwaters with very thin nacre (see this bare patch), photographed under studio lighting to bring out the colors. Certainly not good quality.

I couldn't tell much either. Not sure if they are FWP or SSP. The dark yellow ones, even if SSP, could be color enhanced with dye (dark gold SSP are considerably more valuable than lighter gold or yellow colors.)

Lots of folks like wearing dyed freshwater pearls (I have a strand myself), so yes, they do have value. But nowhere near the value of saltwater pearls of natural color. If you are interested in learning more about pearls, may I suggest you take the "Pearls As One" course? I will DM you a code...
