What are these?

[ourbusyhive]

Hello, I'm hoping you all can help me. I inherited this beautiful necklace from a family friend and am curious as to what type of pearls they are. Thank you! View attachment P1050571View attachment P1050573

To me they look like pondslime freshwater pearls. Are there any experts here who can identity them better?
It's certainly a lovely little treasure

Welcome, ourbusyhive,

Good id job, Pareltje! Yes, cultured freshwater pearls from China! These are natural colors and the off round shapes are characteristic of tissue nucleated pearls, so they are all nacre (no bead inside). The bronzy color is one of my favorites!

Enjoy your pretty pearls!

Yes! These beautiful pearls will last a lifetime as long as you take care of them.

Thank you all for the replies! I was told they were "gold pearls" but, couldn't find anything like them in my searches. I appreciate it
