Questions About Pearls Before Swine
- Are black pearls real pearls?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023Yes, some black pearls are real pearls. Genuine black pearls typically come from Tahiti, sourced from black-lip pearl oysters. Some jewelry features synthetic black pearls created in laboratories. Explore a selection of black pearl jewelry from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
- Is there a fake pearl?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024Yes, there is a fake pearl. In fact, many materials can be used to make faux pearls, such as glass, plastic, mollusk shells, alabaster, bone and stone. These alternate materials typically feel smooth, and their texture sets them apart from real pearls, which have a slightly gritty or rough surface. If you'd like help determining whether a piece of jewelry has real or fake pearls, seek the opinion of an experienced jeweler or certified appraiser. Shop a large collection of pearl jewelry on 1stDibs.
- Are there freshwater pearls?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024Yes, there are freshwater pearls. Certain species of pearl-producing mollusks do live in bodies of freshwater.

- What is a pearl clasp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A pearl clasp is an opening and closing device that holds a necklace together - in this case, a pearl necklace. The clasp works by hooking one end of the necklace into the other end and locking in place. Shop a collection of expertly vetted jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023There isn't a hard-and-fast rule about whether you should wear pearl earrings with a pearl necklace. While pearl earrings can complement a pearl necklace, you're free to mix and match pieces as you see fit. For example, you might join a multi-strand statement necklace with a pair of simple gold hoops or diamond studs. A dramatic gemstone necklace can be balanced with a pair of understated pearl button earrings. On 1stDibs, shop a large assortment of pearl jewelry.
- What is a coin pearl?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Coin pearls are a type of flat rounded pearls that are almost coin shaped. They can be worn casually or as an elegant accessory. There is a range of pearl jewelry on 1stDibs.
- Where are pearl earrings from?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023No one knows for sure where pearl earrings originated, but scholars have determined that they date back to ancient times.

Cultured pearls are genuine pearls produced with human assistance to encourage production and promote the development of a more attractive product. Find a variety of Mikimoto pearl jewelry on 1stDibs.
- Why are pearls so special?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Pearls are so special because they are rare in nature. They form only when something gets inside an oyster or mussel and causes irritation. The mollusk then secretes substances similar to those found on its shell. These harden around the foreign body to create a pearl. Only about one out of every 10,000 wild oysters will ever make a single pearl, and the vast majority of the pearls that occur naturally are too small to use in jewelry. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of pearl jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024The process of telling an antique pearl varies based on whether it is set in jewelry or loose. In the case of jewelry, you can look for a maker's mark and then conduct online research to find out when the company existed and made similar pieces. To be considered an antique, pearl jewelry must be at least 100 years old. In the case of a loose pearl or if you have difficulty performing research on your item, experts recommend consulting a certified appraiser, knowledgeable jeweler or experienced antique dealer. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of antique pearl jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023The TikTok pearl necklace is the Vivienne Westwood Orb necklace. It features a string of pearls accented by a unique pendant.

- Do real pearls have a clasp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, real pearls can be on a strand with a clasp. The addition of a clasp has nothing to do with determining if the pearls are real or fake. The clasp is simply a design aspect for the piece of jewelry. Always purchase real pearls from a reputable seller to ensure authenticity. Shop a large collection of authentic pearl jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Are pearl earrings flattering?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023Yes, pearl earrings can be flattering. The key is to choose styles that complement your face shape. Pearl dangle earrings can beautifully frame a round face, while pearl hoops and drops work well with oval shapes. For a square or rectangular face, try round pearl studs or button earrings. For a diamond or triangular face, long, slender dangles set with pearls are often a great choice. Feel free to try on different types of earrings to see what you like best. Shop a large collection of pearl earrings on 1stDibs.
- Are pearl earrings out of style?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023No, pearl earrings are not out of style. Although trends are subject to seasonal change, pearls have remained popular for a very long time. Wearing pearls dates back to at least 420 B.C., with jewelry discovered in the sarcophagus of Persian royalty.

As a result, you can find pearl earrings that are timeless, as well as looks that are in line with the latest trends. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of pearl earrings.
- Do old pearls have any value?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023Yes, some old pearls have value. How much pearls are worth depends on the type of pearl, the maker and their condition. You can consult trusted online resources to get a rough idea of how much your jewelry is worth or use the services of a licensed appraiser or knowledgeable dealer for a more authoritative valuation. Find a large selection of pearl jewelry on 1stDibs.
- Are mabé pearls expensive?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Mabé pearls are less expensive than traditional pearls due to their unique dome-like shape and accessibility. Mabé pearls are desirable for jewelry designs meant to lay flat on the surface, like stud earrings or pendants, while still giving the appearance of pearls without the higher price point. Shop a selection of mabé pearl jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell if a pearl is real, examine it closely. Genuine pearls are reflective and lustrous, while fakes won't have reflective properties. A real pearl will be cool to the touch and warm up when worn. One test is the "tooth test," where you rub the pearl against your front teeth. If the texture is slightly rough, then it's a genuine pearl. Shop a collection of expertly-vetted pearl jewelry from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Typically, you use strong glue to attach a pearl to a stud when making earrings. For a more secure fit, a maker may drill a small hole into the pearl and use a stud with a small peg that fits into the hole. If you're trying to repair a stud earring, consider enlisting the help of an experienced jeweler, as it's possible to damage the pearl if you apply too much glue or exert too much pressure on it. Explore a collection of pearl stud earrings on 1stDibs.
