Thank you all for your expert knowledge.i recievd this necklas from a lady which comes from a rich family line. Related to sri lanka's ancient kings. According to her this was with his family since 1960s.so i checked this from a local gem testing lab.
But unfortunately there is no facility to test pearls here in sri lanka.but they have done some tests. I will upload that test reports FYI.
Its really appriciate if you guys could take a look at these and give your guess.thanks.

It's a strand if inexpensive Chinese freshwater pearls, probably no more than 10 or 20 years old. It's really only worth a few dollars. It's not at all what she described to you, unfortunately.

This is something we can all tell visually, and your Raman spectroscopy report confirmed it. You see the polyenic pigments showing up as peaks. That is freshwater.
