Question 6

How can you tell a quality pearl necklace?

Accepted Answer

To tell a quality pearl necklace, examine the individual pearls one by one. Each pearl has its own unique texture. If all of the pearls on a piece look and feel completely identical, the necklace may not be genuine. Also, look at how light reflects on the surface of the pearls. On high-quality pearls, reflections will look bright and sharp, while fairer pearls will show off weak or blurred reflections. You can also have your necklace evaluated by a licensed appraiser or knowledgeable dealer to assess its quality. Find a large assortment of pearl necklaces on 1stDibs.

Question 9

How can you tell a vintage pearl necklace?

Accepted Answer

To determine whether a pearl necklace is modern or vintage, first look for signs of wear, such as blunted edges on the prongs.
