Tips to Identify Real Pearl Jewelry

Article Category: Shopping

Author Name: chickie maxwell

For hundreds of years, women have worn pearl jewelry. Even in these modern times, many people still wear pearls. Mollusks produce pearls but not all of them can. In 10,000 mollusks, only one would be able to produce a pearl. This is why such jewelry can be rare and expensive. The market, however, has become infiltrated with fake pearls made of either glass or plastic. In order to know which is real or not, follow these tips.

The fake pearls are those made from glass, faux, resin, artificial and plastic, and are very smooth. The authentic ones are those that are gritty and sandy. To check if this is so, you should place the pearl on the edge of your teeth to test its texture.

Another way to check if you have genuine pearl jewelry is to get two pearls and rub them against each other. Your pearls are real if there is a powdery residue formed by its layers of nacre. They will also have a rougher exterior and should also produce friction. They are not real if they feel smooth when rubbed against each other. You can also get one pearl and smash it carefully with a hammer into two. Inside a real one should be the nacre's thin layers that look like layers of onions.

Another way to check if pearl jewelry is genuine is by looking at their surface to see if they are scaly. A fake pearl looks grainy on the other hand. Using a 30x jeweler's loupe will determine this difference. A magnifier with a 64-power magnification can also be used. A certified gemologist would also be able to determine its genuineness using an x-ray.

If you are outside of your house on a hot afternoon, hold your pearl up to the sunlight. A real pearl will have an imperfect tone and color. A fake one will have a perfect tone and color.

Weighing the pearl will also tell you if it is real or not. A real one is heavier than a fake one. When holding a pearl, the real ones easily get warm than a glass pearl. The plastic one immediately gets warm when being held. This is the same with a pearl made of resin.

Genuine pearls also have very small holes drilled into them. The fake ones have bigger holes. The nacre or surface near the holes will also flake off in fakes. A genuine one also has an uneven shape while a fake has a perfect sphere.

These are the ways to determine if pearls are real or not. It is important that you do get your money's worth when buying such pieces of jewelry and not be fooled by fakes. In order to identify its authenticity, you should do more than one test. testing pearl jewelry just once is not an assurance that it is real.
