Your expertise would be appreciated

I found these in a jewelry box. I apologize if I am way off the mark but need help to identify.

Hello and welcome,

The purple cast is rather strange, but these look like drilled cultured Chinese freshwater pearls. Perhaps they were removed to shorten a necklace or bracelet? Do you have a piece of jewelry with similar pearls? Unfortunately, there is no real value to these, if that is part of your interest. Full strands of similar pearls would sell for $6 or so at a gem show.
