- How can you tell real turquoise?2 Answers1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021You can tell your turquoise is real based on how easily it is to scratch. Howlite, the turquoise imitation is much softer and so will scratch more easily than turquoise.1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021Turquoise is one of the most popular gemstones. One way you can tell the difference between real and fake turquoise is the appearance. Real turquoise should be smooth, and in the fake stones, depending on the material, you can tell where the dye accumulates in the cracks. You can also do the scratch test. If your stone scratches easily, then it's an imitation. Find a variety of turquoise jewelry and other gemstones on 1stDibs.

Find a variety of Mikimoto pearl jewelry on 1stDibs.
- Why are pearls so special?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Pearls are so special because they are rare in nature. They form only when something gets inside an oyster or mussel and causes irritation. The mollusk then secretes substances similar to those found on its shell. These harden around the foreign body to create a pearl. Only about one out of every 10,000 wild oysters will ever make a single pearl, and the vast majority of the pearls that occur naturally are too small to use in jewelry. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of pearl jewelry.
- Are there freshwater pearls?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024Yes, there are freshwater pearls. Certain species of pearl-producing mollusks do live in bodies of freshwater.

- What is a pearl clasp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A pearl clasp is an opening and closing device that holds a necklace together - in this case, a pearl necklace. The clasp works by hooking one end of the necklace into the other end and locking in place. Shop a collection of expertly vetted jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Is there a fake pearl?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024Yes, there is a fake pearl. In fact, many materials can be used to make faux pearls, such as glass, plastic, mollusk shells, alabaster, bone and stone. These alternate materials typically feel smooth, and their texture sets them apart from real pearls, which have a slightly gritty or rough surface. If you'd like help determining whether a piece of jewelry has real or fake pearls, seek the opinion of an experienced jeweler or certified appraiser. Shop a large collection of pearl jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Sleeping Beauty turquoise is a sky or robin’s egg blue with little to no matrix, such as spots or veins. Sleeping Beauty is mined in Globe, Arizona. Due to the softness of the stone, jewelry made with Sleeping Beauty turquoise can be hard to find. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of turquoise jewelry, including Sleeping Beauty pieces.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Turquoise jewelry is generally worth between $1 and $10 per carat because it’s not considered a very rare stone.
- Can I get my turquoise ring wet?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, you should avoid getting your turquoise ring wet. Turquoise is porous so water, especially warm water, could potentially cause damage and alter the color of your stone. Shop a collection of expertly vetted gems from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
