Please help me identify these gorgeous things

Hello, other than the three loose pearls I have purchased all of these through my local thrift store. I know nothing about any of them, especially the green ones. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated and thank you so much

Welcome to PearlGuide, LauraB.
I can not tell what the individual round pearls are, but the rest are cultured freshwater pearls from China. The brown ones are color treated.

thank you so very much! the individual ones were from a necklace my mother gave me a long time ago that broke while i was wearing it and resulted in the loss of many identical ones. I am told they are natural and not cultured, given to her by her great grandmother. It was a very sad day when they fell from my neck. the color treated pearls are actually green, i adore them immensely, is it true then, that peacock pearls are color treated pearls? thank you again for your response!

I agree with Marianne.

". . . is it true then, that peacock pearls are color treated pearls?"

No, some types of pearls are naturally peacock colored, like Tahitian pearls. But real Tahitians look different than dyed freshwater pearls.
