I don't think we can know from those photos. Could be SSP, could be FWP, could be "shell pearls" (fake) or other fakes.
When taking photos it is well to use a white or light neutral background.
Close ups of any flaws help.
Knowing the metal of the findings helps also, though it's not definitive. (I have some high end fakes with 18K findings.)

Thank you I was wondering. I have a couple sets I am wondering about too. Would like an honest opinion about them. I will take pics and post for all to look at.
 
#1 necklace Said is a golden south sea pearl and a Tahitian black pearl. # 2 earrings sold as Tahitian pearls. # 3 necklace and earrings set have had for over 15 years believe is Tahitian pearls. # 4 earrings were told these are golden south sea pearl earrings. What are your thoughts? Can you confirm if any or all of these are what they said they were? Thank you all in advance for your expert opinions.
