I received raw pearls that went from Japan to Germany. I think that these pearls were used as payment from Japan to the Germans for the war. When the war was over I think they were looted as the person who gave me a few stated that the person who originally had them has passed away and had these pearls stored in a warehouse since after the war. He has hundred of boxes.

I too have the same set, they come in a blue fabric shell shaped case.
They came back with my step-father from Japan when he was in Korea in the late 50's.
The William Spector is a dealer I believe, there is an address right under his logo
251-Come Ichigochi'shiba Koen Minao-Ku Tokyo, Japan.
Question about pearls by: Marilyn
I also have a pair of William Spector Fine Cultured Pearls that my husband bought for his mother during the Korean War when he was stationed in Tokyo, Japan.
Does anyone have any information on them or what the value would be. Thank You
