Pearls

[HannaHolly]

How can I tell if pearls are 'real' or imitation? Does anyone know?

I found the following article particularly helpful.

What works best for me is to observe the drill holes for signs of flaking with a jeweller's loupe (well worth investing in if you're interested in jewellery).

Hope this helps.
