I’m by no means an expert, but assuming all of the pearls pass the gritty-on-tooth test, they look real to me. The small pit imperfections on the white pearls (the set with the ring) look like what I’ve seen in South Sea pearls, along with that satiny luster. The deep gold pearls are very pretty and could be color enhanced, but that is a color that can be found naturally in SS cultured pearls. I will leave it to those with greater expertise to weigh in, but maybe this will help bump your post!

I suppose one indicator might be whether you paid south sea pearl prices for them.
SSP are more valuable than FWP. Vendors would lose money if they sold SSP at FWP prices.

Are the mountings solid 14K or 18K? If yes, this also would favor the pearls being genuine. The size is very attractive on you.
