What does a real pearl look like?

1 Answer
What does a real pearl look like?
What a real pearl looks like can vary. However, real pearls typically have a noticeable luster and may be white, cream, pink, purple or gray. Their surfaces often have variations in texture, such as small bumps or grooves, due to their natural origins. No two pearls will be completely identical in color, shape and texture. If you have a piece of jewelry with completely uniform pearls, it is unlikely to feature real pearls. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of pearl jewelry.
