How can you tell if a pearl bracelet is real?
1 Answer

To tell if a pearl bracelet is real, consider its appearance and feel. Whether uncultured or cultured, real pearls are naturally derived from mollusks. No two are ever completely identical in shape, color and size. As a result, a real pearl bracelet will show off small variations from pearl to pearl. In addition, genuine pearls have a slightly rough or gritty texture. A bracelet with perfectly smooth and uniform pearls is unlikely to be real. If you'd like an expert opinion on your bracelet, take it to an experienced jeweler or certified appraiser. Explore an assortment of pearl bracelets on 1stDibs.
