How can I tell if dzi beads are real?

How can I tell if dzi beads are real?
To tell if dzi beads are real, inspect the surface of the bead. The pattern on real dzi beads is not surface level and should not look like it was painted on, nor can it be scratched off. Shop a selection of expertly vetted dzi beads on 1stDibs.
