From the Victorian era into the 1950s, a strand of pearls either faux, cultured or natural was the most traditional wedding gift a groom could give his bride on her wedding day in America. This custom has been sadly forgotten by many grooms today.
"Remarkably beautiful, and indestructible pearls. They are perfect duplicates of genuine pearls, and only an expert can distinguish between them. The rare beauty and close resemblance to genuine pearls will be fully appreciated by those who seek a beautiful and at the same time durable necklace. These being fully guaranteed against damage by heat, water or perspiration. Rivals the true Oriental in beauty. Finished with a solid gold clasp, and furnished in an attractive case of soft grey velvet lined with white satin. The pearl string is 15 inches long, case is oval."
