custom peridot rings How to Identify Real vs. Fake Pearls

Size

The size of a pearl greatly depends on the type. Cultured freshwater pearls range in size from about 3.0–13.0mm, Akoya pearls range from about 6.0–8.5mm, and South Sea and Tahitian pearls can reach sizes as large as 13mm. Of course, with an ideal environment and conditions, natural pearls can grow to be much larger.

How to Identify Real vs. Fake Pearls

The biggest difference between real and fake pearls comes down to their surface feel. The surface feel of real pearls is slightly uneven, while the surface of plastic or glass beads is perfectly smooth. Because pearls are made by nature (or cultured to mimic the natural process), real pearls will also vary slightly in size, color and luster compared to the uniform look of fake pearls.

Treatments

There are several gem treatments commonly used to enhance a pearl’s beauty. It safe to assume that every Akoya pearl has been bleached to remove dark spots and create a more uniform color. This treatment may also include irradiation and dyeing. Dye is used to create many different hues, particularly with freshwater species. Irradiation is another method used to change a pearl’s natural color.
