<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tyeldom3, post: 12752, member: 43&quot;]Try rubbing 2 pearls against one another. If they are smooth with no friction, likely not real. If they have a bit of roughness, and develop a powdery substance with the friction, they probably are real. </p><p>Last year I got a pearl necklace for a dollar at a yard sale. The clasp was 18k, so I thought they had to be real. But they weren&#039;t. When I rubbed them together the coating came off, revealing a plastic underneath.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I hope yours are real<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie30" alt=":cat:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
