The clasp, ring, and studs are all 14k white gold. I am new to this community, and am trying to learn. Please let me know what you think!

They appear to be dyed freshwater pearls from China.

The colors are off compared to Tahitian pearls.

Freshwater Dyed Pearls.
A simple statement:
Saltwater pearls: white, gold, black, gray-blue.
Freshwater pearls: white, orange, purple, and unusual colors blending orange and purple.
