    You 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, 2021
    Turquoise 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.

    Pearls 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
