'Basra Pearls' are like 'New York Pearls' ... goods from an important trading centre with the reputation of gathering, comparing and pricing the most and the best. Only that Basra's reputation remained long after the city ceased to be a center for pearl trading. It is a trade name. Old one.

As much as I know... I hope there will be some details about pearls and Basra. CAITLIN!?

I am not familiar enough with natural pearl prices (if that's what the thing is - as opposed to Keshi) to say anything about it... Looks like a puzzling case.
