Pearls over 100 years - What type of Pearls do I have?

by L Walker
(Springfield, VA)

I have pearls over 100 years old. The appraisal from 1996 says they are: 23" strand with a yellow tint, grade AA, 8MM, cultured pearls worth about $2000.00.

They were my grandmother's who died in 1938. The jeweler restrung them and they are in perfect condition.. Need to know what kind of pearls or where they might of come from.

Thanks
