    Brownish Pinctada Maxima Shells

    These certainly look to be of the "Golden Lipped" variety. And golden pearls are being produced today! So, they are commercially coveted! Try Jewelmer in your browser search. Different locations will yield different colors...

    What type of pearls are these? Please help🙃

    You have a mixed batch there...the more "flattened" pearls look like freshwater pearls (seem like odd ikecho to me)...the rounder ones I am not sure...just because of their color I would say dyed freshwater pearls

    Antique Pearl Necklaces with Platinum Diamond Clasps

    The pearls look like high quality! Might even be natural...I do find the shapes very oval-shaped, then the green-colored spots on the metal... It might be a good idea to send it over to appraisal at a reputable gem lab!

    I agree with both @Lagoon Island Pearls and @SteveM on this one!

    Anyone identify these old pearls please ? Or any idea of a listing price for eBay ?

    It seems you uploaded the same images several times! These look like Akoya pearls to me...pricewise? I would recommend you look at similar items on eBay so you remain competitive!
