The top strand pearls are Chinese cultured freshwater pearls; value under $50, possibly much less, depending on the sales venue, the clasp etc. This is the "rice" shape of the earlier freshwaters, not as desirable nowadays. But they can still be worn and enjoyed-- it's just a matter of one's personal style and preferences.

I assume these are vendor photos and you don't yet have the pearls? If the vendor is in China, assume the lower strand are also freshwaters. They are baroque and some of the pearls have better luster than others. What is the seller's asking price?

If the seller is not in China, it's possible the lower strand are baroque akoya pearls. I'd want to see more photos, against a white background, with some close ups.
