Whatever they are, they appear to need a good cleaning.

I agree. Badly damaged and old faux pearls

I am sorry to say, that is usually a mixture of cigarette & other stains. You can try cleaning, but often the coating of the fake pearls comes off. The clasp can be used on a strand of real pearls though.
