Questions About Japanese Pearl Inlay
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Mother of pearl inlay furniture is a chair, table or case good usually made out of wood and embellished with fragments of oyster or mussel shells called mother of pearl. Furniture makers make carvings into the furniture and then carefully add the cut mother of pearl. On 1stDibs, find a range of mother of pearl inlay furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024To tell if Japanese pearls are real, first feel their surfaces carefully. Cultured and natural pearls will be slightly gritty, while imitations will usually feel smooth. Next, look at the pearls side by side. Real pearls will show slight variations in shape and size. If your pearls look entirely uniform, they are less likely to be real. A certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can evaluate your pearls if you need further assistance. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of pearl jewelry.
