what kind of pearls are these and are they real? and if so what type are they?

[Kevin Canning]

if you rub two pearls together gently do they feel gritty? If the answer is yes they are real, smooth like plastic and they are faux.

The photo is a bit grainy, but they look faux to me - especially the first picture.

Cool design though, first necklace. I think my Aunt Mae had one like it. Hers was faux, really classy costume jewelry though, it looked great with her sweaters. Maybe this was in the fifties?
