Just sumptuous, lovely, luminous- excellent color on quite a few of those pearls. Oh. I must remind myself to breathe...
I don't need to tell you that you are an extremely lucky heir! Excellent choice
The term Gulf Pearl is directly related to origin and stature. Gulf pearls, or Bahraini Pearls are they are more commonly known, are natural pearls from the Persian or Arabian Gulf, and were widely respected as some of the highest quality natural pearls in the world for quite some time.
Arabian pearl dealers are unusual in that they refuse to this day to deal with any cultured pearl, most especially pearls that have been Bead-Nucleated (consider the Akoya pearl from China and Japan). I know that Caitlin probably knows so much more than I do about this region's pearls and pearling history.
