Can the pearls speak for themselves in an appraisal--can they tell their own age and history?

They can tell a lot about themselves-
If your grandfather got them in the "Orient" it would blow the American freshwater story, though America is the only place freswater naturals were coming from at the time.
If he got them in the "Orient", they could be Persian Gulf pearls, but I doubt they were from the far east and I don't think they are salt water pearls. I have never seen pearls like that from the Persian Gulf.
If those are natural , it will be worth the expense to send them to Sharon. You need certification of somekind.
You should dig up the old appraisals and put them up. That will help us decide.
