Pearls have always been the love of many girls, regardless of age, no matter how elegant or simple they dress, pearl jewelry is a magic weapon to enhance their temperament. Pearls make women more gentle and elegant. With the rise of the pearl craze, there are more and more various pearl jewelry and products on the market. Below, I will introduce 2 simple ways to distinguish real and fake pearls for your reference.
1. Intuitive method
The intuitive method is the simplest and most feasible method. You can observe pearls directly with the naked eye and distinguish them by their color, shape, size, and luster. Real pearls, color, shape, and size are not exactly the same. Pearl is the only organic gemstone with vitality in the world. It is a product of nature. It cannot be cast like a machine mold. Every one is exactly the same. If every pearl in a pearl necklace is exactly the same, it is highly likely that it is a fake pearl. This is because real natural pearls, even if they have been selected, are at most uniform in size and color, but they will never be exactly the same, while fake pearls are the opposite. Since they are machine-made, this can be achieved. At the same time, if you look closely, you will find that the color of fake pearls is dead, it looks sluggish, and will not be as unpredictable as real pearls.
2. Sensation method
The sensory method is also called the hand-sensing method, which is a method of distinguishing true and false pearls by hand. The real pearl feels cool, while the fake imitation pearl feels slippery. At the same time, it is difficult for natural pearls to be completely round and smooth. If the surface of the pearl is smooth and full of no dead ends, then you can guess that it is a fake pearl. There is another hand feel method that evaluates the weight of the pearl by the feel of the hand to infer the real and fake. Pure glass imitation beads are heavier than natural pearls. If they are wax-filled glass imitation beads, the weight is only about half of natural pearls. This method requires a solid foundation of pearls.
In addition, I think consumers, instead of spending time to identify the real and fake of the pearls, should choose a well-known pearl brand with strength, quality assurance, and considerate service when buying pearls. Not only will you not be tricked into buying fake beads, but you will definitely buy good pearls with better cost performance!
