I have never heard of Pearls sinking in water. But they say if you put a pearl in a clear glass of water and place it in the moon light, if the pearl is real it will reflect the light. There are some more test to differentiate between real and fake pearls: One of the easiest way to notice which one of them are fake is that, by rubbing both pearls together. Here you would need to take notice of two things. 1. When rubbing two pearls together, you would feel a friction between two pearls. If you were to rub 2 plastic together there wouldn't be any friction between them.

2. If you noticed when you rub the pearls together a small spec of the pearls would have come off and it would end up having scratches. 3.But if you rub over the scratch area of the pearl. The scratch marks would be gone, and the pearls would looked as if nothing happened to it. That my friends is how you can tell if your pearls are genuine.

Another way to determine to see your pearls are real is by burning the pearls itself with fire. Take a lighter and burn the pearl. Pearls are fire resistant, or they will never melt to put it that way. But if burn marks do appear on the pearl itself, just rub over the burnt marks and it would disappear just like that. Rub the pearl across the front of your upper teeth. It may sound strange, but real pearls will feel rough or gritty while fake ones will feel smooth. This is due to the micropores found on the genuine article.

I hope that with these simple methods will help you to be able to tell a difference between real pearls with fake one as well.

How do you know if the freshwater pearls you buy are real?

If a pearl is deemed Freshwater pearl, chances are, it is real. Freshwater pearls are the most affordable pearls available. If the pearls are described as faux, shell pearls, imitation, or anything other than cultured Freshwaters, then they are fake. More and more vendors are popping up selling shell pearls. Pearls that are described as "shell pearls" are not real. They are made from a compound of ground up shell and are faux pearls.
