If you mean they're shell pearls, those are imitation pearls made from shell.
We might be able to help more with photos and the actual listing, if you have access to them.
Those look like genuine golden SSP to me. See how the colors vary just ever so slightly among the pearls? An imitation (shell pearl) stand would not look like that. It would be unnaturally uniform.
I think the shell part referred to is the bead nucleus. It's an Etsy thing.
Edited to add: I took a quick look at her other pearl listings. They look right, too.

My post is asking if they are fake (shell pearls instead of legimate pearls) Here is the link to the listing. The seller insist they are authentic and its just an 'Etsy' category and will even give a certificate of authenticity but I suppose anyone can make one of those up... https://www.etsy.com/listing/792567802/rare-aaaa-champagne-natural-color-golden avatar game
