<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 2616816, member: 2844&quot;]They don&#039;t look like pearls, and they are not individually knotted, which is what I would expect with Tahitian pearls.</p><p>I think it could be hematite, like komo said. Hematite is grey, sometimes near black, and it is heavy. It is a lovely necklace, it has a mysterious look.</p><p><br /></p><p>It does, but you have to really concentrate on the feeling. The particles of the nacre of Tahitian pearls are much closer together, so they don&#039;t feel as gritty as lighter coloured pearls. It feels much more subtle, but you can feel it.</p><p>The best way to test pearls is to rub the pearl horizontally along the front of your teeth. Never along the edge, that could even damage them.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So people, this photo just means someone is trying to eat the pearls, not test them.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.startpage.com/av/proxy-image?piurl=https%3A%2F%2Fencrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcSzPGitrk3qSM6voxj9qYgssqnlfUcAUtaIYgAz0pxmRsLiqnWQ%26s&amp;sp=1598096674Tb53b22caff5ae90ba28d3146d63c853eb512bbd9780484254e6cdaa53bb11852" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
