<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaena, post: 770379, member: 10474&quot;]Did you run the pearls across the front of your teeth?&nbsp; Real pearls will definitely feel gritty or sandy and not smooth like glass or plastic.&nbsp; But here are two more things you can do:&nbsp; In a strand of real pearls, the pearls will have differences from each other in shape, slight irregularities;&nbsp;&nbsp; whereas in a strand of imitation pearls, they are almost always exactly the same size and shape.&nbsp; Also, if you look at the pearls under a loupe or good magnifying glass, the surface of the real pearl will appear somewhat scaly, whereas a fake pearl will look just grainy.&nbsp; These two tests would be good to start with.&nbsp; There are also good videos on YouTube for further testing (and one includes holding a pearl in the flame of a candle - but I would hold off on that for right now.)&nbsp; Hope this helps![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
