If you look at one of the other pictures, it says "Genuine Oriental Pearls" -- are Persian Gulf pearls considered oriental?

Some people think any pearl that is not plastic is natural and I guess an argument could be made....however, to those of us in the know, Natural means something very special.

The box looks old and Add a Pearls were very popular in the 50's and 60's -- this is perhaps old mechandise from a store?

I always like the Add a Pearl idea.... growing up many of my friends had one. They were knotted on silk in the pearl part and a chain for the other part. By the time they graduated, they had a full strand or almost. I don't remember the new pearls being so far off in color from the other pearls.
