Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pearl?
Pearls are smooth, lustrous beads that are formed in the shells of certain molluscs, such as mussels and oysters and are used as natural defence mechanisms from irritants like sand.
Is pearl a gemstone?
Yes, pearls are classed as gemstones and are actually one of the most desired gemstones in the world.
What colour is a pearl?
Pearls can come in a range of colours:
- Freshwater pearls - These come in pastel colours like apricot and lavender, as well as white and cream.
- Akoya pearls - These tend to come in white and cream with pink and green overtones.
- South sea pearls - These pearls tend to come in yellow, white, silver or golden tones.
Tahitian pearls - These have more darker colours such as aubergine, green, blue, grey, black, purple, pistachio and peacock.
How to see if a pearl is real?
There are a number of tests you can do to see if a pearl is real. Here are a few examples:
- The tooth test - By rubbing the pearl against the biting edge of your teeth it should feel slightly gritty or rough if it’s real, whereas fake ones will feel smooth.
- The weight test - You can compare the weight of the pearl with a pearl you know is real that is a similar size. A real pearl will be denser and heavier than a fake one.
Inspecting the surface of your pearl - Natural pearls are naturally formed and will therefore be irregular in some way. You should also look at the lustre of the pearl, as they should have a deep, luminous shine rather than a dull sheen.
How many years is a pearl anniversary?
Pearl anniversaries are 30-year anniversaries that represent enduring strength and the beauty of a long-lasting marriage.
