<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1430708, member: 5833"]Grittiness is variable & more pronounced on some pearls than others. Don't write off the white ones just yet. To be sure, I just nibbled at pearls on a strand that is visually very convincing but that I know to be artificial. There's no grittiness at all. Fingertips can't tell the difference, but to the teeth they're, well, glassy. I recommend that you tooth test any pearls you have & any others that give you the opportunity to do so without objection from others.</p><p><br /></p><p>The brown ones will definitely have been dyed & would not be considered black pearls.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
