I don't know if Orienta pearls have value but I do have an Orienta pearl necklace that was purchased in 1957 from a very nice jewelry store in Washington D.C. This necklace was sold as a finished necklace and the add a pearl idea was not an option. It was complete. It still is.

Good Morning!
your double strand of Orienta Cream Pearls sound beautiful!
"ORIENTA" is a trade name- LEYS CHRISTIE & Co.- circa 1950s [Pearls]
Besides the body or exterior color, some higher quality pearls reveal an overtone which reflect a pearls "heart." Overtones are translucent colors which might appear over the top of the pearl's main bodycolor, which you mention are Cream in color, although some pearls have no overtones at all.
