They look like Akoya cultured pearls.
Not sure what you're looking for here to be honest.
If you know a fair amount about pearls then you already know that your odds of getting a strand of decent quality natural (as in - non-cultured) saltwater pearls for $35 aren't low, they're flat zero.
My guess would have been cultured akoya, many pearls with visible nucleus (this is only possible if nacre is extremely thin - what @Pearlescence was commenting on). I don’t know what the old bead cultured FW looked like though.Basically just showing off what most would agree is a great find for little money wanted to know what people thought of my little find is all..As to Knowing a fare bitt about Pearl's I should of said after only a short period of time and a few months of research and experience I know a far bitt more then I should at least enough to know when I'm at a thrift super market and see a strand of notted Pearl's with a gold clasp and a price tag of 35 bucks to pull out my loupe and have a closer look at things like luster,mottling ,score Mark's or pits or drill holes and what not and ya chances of finding a string of natural rounded Pearl's that share both matching size and color throughout each pearl is rare because natural Pearl's are not as easy to match as cultured Pearl's but either way cultured or not those are Pearl's with a 14k gold clasp for 35 dollars..Wierd huh thanks though cheers
