<p>[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 309133, member: 147"]I have had costume pearl necklaces that were knotted. Run the pearls across your teeth, do they feel smooth or gritty? They may be cultured if gritty, may be real pearls also. I don't know how to tell between cultured and natural pearls, an x-ray? If they feel smooth they are probably costume. Also check the clasp, if it is costume it is likely the pearls are costume.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love the blue bracelet and the oval pin that looks like moss agate <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
