A lab will generally x-ray the pearl to determine if it is natural. Even FW tissue nucleated pearls are distinguishable from natural pearls this way.

Based on the date of the rings, if the pearls are real, they would most likely be natural. Especially the rounder one, since cultured rounds weren't produced until the early 1900's.
