Welcome to the best place on earth to learn about pearls, Vero!
I can't say for certain, but these appear to be imitation pearls. Can you please photograph them on a white paper towel? The drill holes seem to be less "crisp" than would be in a cultured pearl. The color and reflections are consistent from pearl to pearl, which indicate imitation pearls.
What other information do you have about these?

I think they are not even imitation pearls but some other sort of bead.

They are not pearls. They are just beads. I cannot tell if they are glass or plastic or some other type of bead, but they are very uniform and not the color any kind of real pearl.

Hematite is very heavy. Are they heavy or light weight?

Are they very light? Could they be jet?
Or a synthetic material bead, plastic or some other material?
