How can I tell a genuine pearl necklace from a fake one?
The pearl necklaces belonged to my grandmother when she was a young lady in the early 1900’s
I was told that most real pearls have slight imperfections on the surface and they all should be close in colour and depth but not identical.
rub a pearl on your tooth to tell if it’s real. Fake pearls feel smooth like glass on your tooth
Best way is to take the time and take them to a certified professional. Not only will he or she be able to tell you if they are real or fake but if they are naturally grown or cultured. Plus if they are real being antique he or she could help you determine the value for insurance purposes.
