Hello.
My father gave this pink pearl, choker length necklace to my mother in the late 1950s. The clasp is hallmarked 9k gold.

I would like to know what type of pearls it is comprised of, please.

I have used the 'zoom' feature on my camera. And, unfortunately, the reflection from the ceiling lights was unavoidable.

The pearls vary from 5-7mm, in size. Some are almost a complete circle.
They display a high lustre.

Only one is 'faulty'.

They are all evenly smooth to touch but this zoomed image, below, shows that the surface may not be smooth. I have no idea why.

Thank you, in advance.
