Earrings found at thrift store

[Freshpeachez]

Second pair of genuine pearl earrings I've ever found at a thrift store! I know they are real pearls (tooth test) but I don't know how else to classify them. Please help!

What is the make-up of the metal? Is it marked on the earring post anywhere?
They appear to be either lower-end Tahitians (the greenish gray color and the way the pearls are grooved). I could be wrong and they are actually FW pearls...but I am definitely leaning lower-quality Tahitians. I'm sure others will weigh in.
If the posts are silver (jeweler can test this for you) then they are probably FW pearls, if the posts are 14K white gold, they are probably Tahitians...just an industry guess.
The flat top where the pearl post is glued also makes me think freshwater...

Any others out there have opinions?

They could be lower end Tahitians. Do see if there is a metal mark.

There is no mark anywhere on the post.

No mark, but one of the posts is very slightly bent.

My hunch is that the metal mark may have been on the clutch.
It's a tough call; these could be low end Tahitians, or perhaps dyed freshwaters. Either way, they're a fun find.

Take them into a jewelry store and have the metal tested.
