How to tell if your pearls are real

How to tell if your pearls are real ----

True or Not: "You can tell if a pearl is real by rubbing it against your teeth".....TRUE! 

​Real pearls feel gritty against your teeth. Most faux (fake) pearls will feel smooth.

However, the gritty feel can fool you because pearls that are made of ground mother-of-pearl, will feel like a real pearl against your teeth.

​Look at each pearl on your necklace - no two pearls should look exactly the same. (If you have a strand of perfect, exactly round, blemish-free pearls and you did not pay an extraordinary amount of money for it, it’s likely to be fake.)
