Need a second opinion?

I am restringing this strand for a client and I have a suspicion that these may be natural pearls due to the slightly off round shapes. I am not expert enough to say yes or no, so opinions here would be appreciated. I may be way off base too, but I need to put my suspicions at ease either way. Pearls have been cleaned but not restrung yet. Size range is 3.5-6.8mm. Thank you all very much!!

It's a older graduated 3.5 momme strand. It's cultured akoya, and it's a nice piece!

Yes! The classic, no-knot format, nacre piling on the ends of some of the pearls, graduated sizing, and classic clasp. They look like they could use a little pearl wash and restringing based on the dirty color of the knots. Agreed, nice luster and nice strand.
