WHAT
ARE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IMITATION PEARLS AND CULTURED PEARLS?
A
marketing firm reported that South Sea Shell Pearls were inserted into a lot of
South
Sea
pearls as a marketing experiment and buyers could not tell the difference. South Sea
Shell Pearls are imitation pearls. They not made of wax, plastic, glass, and
made in a laboratory from
South
Sea
oyster shells. Fine imitations today that can be very convincing. Some have actually
been mistaken for fine cultured pearls. Cultured pearls
are produced in bays or lakes by living in oysters or mollusks. Imitation pearls also
call faux, are not created by any living creature. Imitation pearls have never seen
the inside of a mollusk. They made from glass, plastic, or shell beads. The cultured
pearl will have a depth of luster that the fake cannot duplicate. Use the tooth test
to spot the fake. RELIABLE TEST IN MOST CASES IS THE TOOTH TEXT. Run the pearl gently
along the edge of your teeth, the genuine pearl will have a mildly abrasive or gritty
feel , and the imitation will be slippery smooth , Try
this on pearls you will know are genuine or fake. But the tooth text may be unreliable
for amateurs when applied to the imitation Majorica pearl
,Although to the trained eye they have a very different look from cultured pearls,
this is an imitation pearl which might be mistaken for genuine . But close examination
of the surface with a loupe will reveal a fine pinpoint surface that is very different
from the smooth surface of a cultured pearl. An experienced jeweler or gemologist
can quickly and easily identify the Majorica for you. Pacific
