[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 12766, member: 25"]Does real mean cultured pearls or natural pearls. Cultured pearls have had the touch of the oyster but really they are just organic factory made. Jewellers look inside the holes, you can see there how thick the coating of nacre is over the 'seed', the thicker the better. Without the cachet of a well known name like Mikimoto I don't count even cultured pearls as all that big a deal, for selling. But what do I know, pearls and a twin set are not my natural costume.[/QUOTE]
