Those are freshwater pearls of commercial or beading quality. They are not valuable pearls, though they are great for everyday wear.

thank you. Sorry for the double post I was having problems with photobucket. Are these dyed? they have 4 different tones to them.

 

[Caitlin]

Yes they are both color treated. The black ones are dyed and the white ones are bleached.

I'll throw in on the construction that they aren't knotted and the clasp is very plain - probably base metal plated, with calottes rather than french wire.
