18 inch real pearl necklace made of gold pearls

Real pearls These belonged to my Paternal grandmother oh, I did not have a good relationship with. . They are real pearls, I got them as part of my inheritance. I actually have 4 pair of gold ones like this, in different lengths & some light, opal pink, off white bracelets! I’ve given my daughters the other pair of gold ones and I just really don’t wear these. They’ve been in my jewelry box for over 20 years and I’ve never worn them and I think someone who really loves might enjoy them. I had them appraised and he told me since pearls are being melted down and embedded with gold to make other shapes of jewelry now that he would say they are worth around $150 today idk but Google said more. All I know was my grandfather had an oyster farm and made pearl jewelry from necklaces, bracelets attaching pearls to clothing, buttons, adding pearls to women’s Church hats, wedding veils, head jewelry; all types of things wedding gowns. I seen it all when it came to pearls that people wanted at his shop in the 80s/early 90s. I know that she cherished these because her husband made them, but I have so many and I did make one pair of the gold ones a heirloom bypassing it to my daughter and explaining where it came from
