What kind of pearls are these?

Any idea what kind of pearls these are? The clasp and small beads are 14k. Any help is appreciated! Thank you

They look like dyed freshwater pearls to me.

Right, BWeaves, dyed cultured freshwater pearls. This is a permanent color treatment; it will not fade nor rub off. A plus for this type pearl is that it is all nacre and will never wear through to a bead inside. This dark purple-blue shade is rarely found as a natural color in cultured pearls.

Agree with above posts-- dyed cultured freshwater pearls from China.
