They appear to be akoyas, one strand more baroque than the others but none completely round.
You're right that pearls don't hold value, and unfortunately these are no exception. Their luster and surface quality also leave something to be desired.
My advice to you, if you are trying to sell them, is to do a search on eBay for SOLD similar necklaces. This will give you an idea of what someone might be willing to pay for them. Then set up an auction with the starting price being the least you would be happy getting for them, and let the market determine the final price. Or set up a Buy it Now/ Best Offer kind of listing -- you can always lower the price if they don't sell.
It's possible they will sell for their clasps (i.e. someone may want to reuse the clasps), gold being so expensive now.
