Can someone help

[Vero123]

What kind of pearl so I have

Welcome to the best place on earth to learn about pearls, Vero!

I can't say for certain, but these appear to be imitation pearls. Can you please photograph them on a white paper towel? The drill holes seem to be less "crisp" than would be in a cultured pearl. The color and reflections are consistent from pearl to pearl, which indicate imitation pearls.

What other information do you have about these?

I think they are not even imitation pearls but some other sort of bead.

They are not pearls. They are just beads. I cannot tell if they are glass or plastic or some other type of bead, but they are very uniform and not the color any kind of real pearl.

They look a lot like hematite to me.

I thought that too ... hematite... but wasn't sure it would break like that .. I've never hit mine with a hammer lol

Definitely not pearls.

Hematite is very heavy. Are they heavy or light weight?

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Are they very light? Could they be jet?

Or a synthetic material bead, plastic or some other material?
