Have purchased some round pearls that have not yet sent to jeweller for setting. Would you like to have a guess which ones are fresh water, which ones are south sea?

size: the golden one is 17mm. lavender is 15.5, big white is 16mm, medium white is 14.9 ,small white is 12.5.

The lavender one is freshwater for sure.
The golden one could be GSS or could be a dyed freshwater but I will guess GSS since if were a dyed FW, it would likely be a deeper gold.

I am guessing the white pearl above the lavender one is WSS and the other two white pearls are FWP.
 
I would say they all look freshwater to me, but I'm rather ignorant with distinguishing pearl type by photo)
 
Merry Christmas to all!

Almost forgot to reply this post.

The top two( big white and small white) are south sea pearls

Lavender , Golden and medium white one are fresh water Edison Pearls.
