Dentifying genuine pearls involves considering various factors such as luster, surface quality, shape, color, size, and other specific characteristics. Here are some general tips to help you determine if a pearl is authentic:
Freshwater Pearls
- Pearls from freshwater are authentic, guaranteed! Freshwater pearls are grown in two separate ways.
- First, there are classic Freshwater pearls with tissue nucleation. These are produced when the pearl-forming process is initiated using a little fragment of donor oyster mantle tissue. The larger and more recent bead-nucleated freshwater pearls come in second. This technique begins the pearl-making process with a bead nucleus.
Freshwater Pearls
- Real pearls, both varieties of freshwater pearls are created when oysters are kept in lakes, rivers, and ponds for extended periods of time.
- Freshwater pearls are well known for their exquisite iridescence, vibrant overtones, and natural pastel hues, which include pink, peach, white, and lavender. They are also known for their silky, smooth sheen.
- Tissue-based Pearls from freshwater are never round.they usually have an off-round shape.We can find perfectly round bead-nucleated freshwater pearls because the nacre layers grow around a perfectly round bead nucleus.
