They definitely look like nucleated. Given the size, they might be nucleated baroque freshwater or baroque Akoya pearls. My first intuition was nucleated freshwater (as you have quoted below), yet the luster whispers to me that they are baroque Akoya - but still I am not so sure, as I don't see any overtone at all, and Akoya's luster might be even better? Let's wait and see what the real experts say. Nice surface and luster by the way! :D

To me they look like nucleated freshwater baroque pearls. Nice surface and luster!
Strand is about 16 inches long, and approx 6-7mm, clasp says silver, and contains a cultured pearl. Although the strand is knotted between pearls, I feel they are too tightly strung, and think that they could break easily, and they don't flow Smoothly, but I don't know how baroque pearls behave, exactly, as this is my first foray into the type. However, I love the color. Pics weren't anything like the Lustre and tones they show in person! Thanks as always for letting me dip once again into the knowledge pool on here, I wouldn't know much without you all.
 
Great baroques, the clasp is pretty too.
Enjoy!
