Johanna, you have a lovely collection of necklaces here. These all do appear to be cultured pearls, imo, none are natural.
The top photo shows baroque pearls that seem to be freshwater (no bead nucleus).
The rounder pearls are probably (bead nucleated) Akoya.
Who were you going to have xray your pearls?

I was thinking of Stephen Kennedy from the Gem and Pearl Lab in London. Thank you for responding.

pattye is right. You've got a strand of baroque akoyas. An older-style graduated akoya strand and a strand of baroque freshwater pearls. The first two strands are probably from Japan and the freshwater is from China.
