If you are asking is synthetic pearl real pearl, the answer is no. The very term synthetic means artificial, man-made. The closest thing is south seas or seashell pearl. the "pearls" are made of crushed shell which is then treated with a resin to stabilize and harden it into a solid mass. This mass can then be shaped,dyed, and polished to resemble real pearl. Most synthetics are painted or enameled glass or something similar. hope this helps. Actually, in terms of gemology the word "synthetic" is not used for pearl. The more appropriate term for it is "imitation". Synthetic word is used for those gemstones which are man-made and possess exact chemical, physical and optical properties that of a real gemstone. Therefore "imitation pearl" should be used instead of "synthetic pearl". And with this (imitation) term being used one can get the answer from itself.
