    Quite a few of your necklaces are pearls (the first 2 pictures). Different types. I cant thinkof the names this early, somebody will be along. The green stones may be turquoise. And the purple, brownish yellow and grey chip necklace are all quartz varieties. (purple amethyst / Brownish yellow Citrine and Grey Smokey Quartz.)

    The pearls may well all be real, but newish inexpensive ones, other than that one with the push in clasp, which is faux. That brown banded one is agate/carnelian and I like it. The other white ones look MOP, probably 60s or 70s. Multicolour is new amethyst, citrine and some other chips. Not sure on the green.

    Can you number the photos honey? Makes it much easier to comment. ;)

    Givenchy. I doubt the Tiffany is real.

    The stone necklace is Givenchy? Interesting

    Givenchy did costume. It's not wildly expensive though. The only real way with the Tiffany is test it and/or take it to one of their shops. If it's real, they'll clean it for free.

    I hate to say it, but to me all recent Tiffany is fake until proven otherwise. Modern Chinese freshwater pearls generally sell for whatever their clasp is worth. A lot of those are recent artisan-made glass bead pieces, and are worth about what the beads and findings are. The green stuff is probably dyed magnesite; it was around in craft stores for quite a while and probably still is.

    Thinking about it, the Givenchy hang tag came from something else.

    What the others have said. I see nothing here that can't be bought at a beading supply store (except the star bracelet) & stringing jobs all look amateur. Any value beyond worth of the component parts is in how much some individual particularly likes them as a necklace.

    These beads are mother of pearl:

    14 - looks like labradorite to me if I'm seeing a blue flash correctly.

    The one with no number after 14, the round discs might be bronzite but that's a WAG on my part.

    16 the purple stones look like amethyst and the yellow citrine.

    Most of the pearls look like dyed freshwater.

    I agree with Bronwen, the one she posted is mother of pearl.

    The links don't appear to be soldered closed,would never pass Tiffany quality control.
