what kind of pearls are these and are they real? and if so what type are they?

if you rub two pearls together gently do they feel gritty? If the answer is yes they are real, smooth like plastic and they are faux.

The photo is a bit grainy, but they look faux to me - especially the first picture.

Cool design though, first necklace. I think my Aunt Mae had one like it. Hers was faux, really classy costume jewelry though, it looked great with her sweaters. Maybe this was in the fifties?
