How to distinguish true and false pearls - intuitive method

The intuitive method is the easiest and easiest way to directly observe pearls with the naked eye and distinguish them by their color, shape, size and luster. Real pearls are not exactly the same in color, shape, and size. Even if the real natural pearls are selected, the size and color are the most.

1.Look at the color of pearls: The luster of natural pearls is like a seven-color rainbow, with many colors, but not particularly bright, and the transparency is better in the sun; the color of artificial pearls is bright and monotonous, and there is almost no transparency in the sun.

2.Look at the shape of pearls: The shape of natural pearls is not particularly regular, while fake pearls are generally very round, and the workmanship is more delicate. When selecting pearls, you can pay attention to the holes of the pearls. The holes of fake pearls may fall off.

3.Gently scratching with a fingernail, real pearls will fall off as fine powder, but there will be no scratches; while artificial pearls have no shedding substances, and there will be obvious scratches.

4.The feel of touching pearls: natural pearls feel smooth and cool, while artificial pearls are warmer and greasy.

5.Listen to the sound of pearls rubbing: When two pearls are rubbed against each other, the sound of natural pearls has a sandy feeling, while the artificial pearls have a slippery feeling.
