How can I tell the difference between a real and faux pearl?
Many people struggle telling the difference between a real and faux pearl; however, there are a few distinguishing factors that you can watch for. When looking at a pearl, if it seems unusually perfect, it is probably fake. You can also test a pearl by rubbing it on the bottom of the front teeth where you would bite from, and if it feels gritty chances are it is real. Similarly, if you rub two pearls together and they feel rough, it is a good indication of authenticity.I love the look of glass bead, but I find they chip easily, any suggestions to prevent this from happening?
