If you have a pearl necklace (or pearl earrings, bracelets, pendant, etc.) in front of you, your very first and most formidable tool is simple observation. Place the jewelry on a plain white sheet of paper and begin examining the pearls inch-by-inch. 

• Are they all perfectly round? 
• Are there shape variations?
• Do you see any inclusions or blemishes on the surfaces? 
• Do the pearls feel dense and heavy for their size? Or light and hollow?
• Can you spot any variations in body color or overtone, or are the pearls all exactly the same?

 
Remember: Cultured pearls are a product from nature - the mollusk always leaves its fingerprint on the gem during its creation, so you’ll usually be able to find some kind of imperfection somewhere if you look hard enough.
