Yes, the pearls appear to be B/C, but after looking at the darker golden pearl as well it appears to be near the same surface grade as I see rings (but it could just be the picture).
In that grade if the lot were mixed it would be very difficult to price. Some are darker and more valuable, and it seems as though the lot is quality-mixed as well. I would presume it may sell wholesale for about $50 per pearl. The golden pearl would probably go as high as $300, or even higher if the surface is a little cleaner that it looks in the picture.

As for the last strand, this looks like it is certainly a freshwater necklace. It looks absolutely nothing like an Akoya strand. With the circles the strand would probably wholesale for about $10 per strand in China.

I hope I have been of help. Feel free to send me a private message as well with more information.
