Wel, I would think that they could either be cultured akoya or costume.

However, the density seems low for cultured pearls. My reasoning is, that if cultured pearls have a specific gravity of about 2.7 (HERE), given the weight and numbers you gave the pearls of the strand should be tiny seed pearls which they aren't.

It is possible that the top-of-the-head math is wrong ...
