If the strand is genuine, you scored. The graduation of the strand dates it to post WWII, GI homecoming pearls. This is not to say it could not be a more recent strand, but if it is an older strand, and the pearls are real, it is most likely a vintage akoya.

How about the clasp. Are there any hallmarks?
