| Hi Rosomane,
The really interesting pearl is the second one on the third row on the left to the clasp in image 2 (close-up with upside of the clasp showing). That pearl deviates from the round in a squishy way that is inconsistent with bead nucleation. Overall, it looks like one of those multi-strands that were enormously popular in the late 1940s and early 1950s that were assembled from heirloom naturals and filled up with cultured pearls. I do not think that this one has mostly naturals in it but a few sure do look like they could be, including the entire inner strand.
