You are going to have to do a lot better on photos to get any kind of a serious response. Close up photos, on a white background with bright lighting and turn off the camera flash. Also would need to know any markings on each piece as to gold or silver content, etc, or any maker names on any of the pieces.

The 3rd one looks like baroque cultured akoyas, but we really do need better photos.

These sorts of necklaces always make me nostalgic, they're so much like my grandmother's -- my grandfather gave her three strands of pearls, all totally perfectly round (I secretly think oddly shaped pearls are more interesting, but I'll never let on). I believe they were all for their wedding, which was... well, I remember going to their fiftieth wedding anniversary when I was quite small, and my little sister shocking my mother by rushing for the cake! They're both gone now, and my mother has all three pearl strands. There is something so classic about grandma's pearls! Do they have stories?
