    @David Harper Antiques TV!
    My nan gifted me with her pearls that her husband had bought for her years ago, unfortunately my nan has passed but I was fortunate enough to inherit her pearls and they are indeed Natural Pearls 😊🌊🐚 I adore my pearls and won't ever sell or give them up. No matter what price someone gives.

    my last post man was a fresh water pearl collector and these fresh waster pearl were
    dropped over to the UK personally and these were used now in one of he last pearl sets given to late Diana - Princess of Wales - by Charles at the time - now these are not collected anymore even thought he found a way to open them without killing them - so that again again explain why they are so valuable and all the same advice is the same what she said
    so spot on

    What I would have been interested in is how you tell a good quality cultured pearl necklace from a lesser quality cultured pearl one, with pearls that have a large nucleus, as the lady was saying.

    How fascinating! Thankyou so much for this info. I am an avid pearl lover.. faux or real I don’t mind.. I keep snapping my pearls and always on the hunt. One are probably all glass but I can test them now. 💐💕

    Rub suspect pearl on front teeth. Smooth = faux. Gritty = either real ( cultured or natural, and as she said naturals can be stupidly expensive) or a high-end fake like vintage Mallorca Pearls. The latter cost more than some real ones (i.e. Chinese freshwaters). I eliminate 90% of fakes by eyeball, at least in person. The paint around the holes is a dead giveaway. Another dead giveaway is the shape. If they're perfectly matched and perfectly round... let's say it's highly likely they're fakes. As in El Gordo/ Megabucks Lotto odds. If you're blindingly lucky you may find a conch pearl, but you won't. Might find a pretty fake one though - they're a deep peach color, more or less. Perfume also affects fake pearls, btw. They discolor.
