Touch Test
An old wives' tale says that if you hold real pearls in your hand, they will be cool to the touch for several seconds before warming up. Genuine pearls tend to warm with contact to the skin much faster than glass pearls. Resin or plastic pearls tend to feel somewhat warm upon first contact. This however is not a sure-fire method for checking authenticity.
The Tooth Test
Rub the pearls lightly along the biting edge of your upper front teeth. If they feel slightly rough, sandy or gritty, it's likely they are cultured or natural pearls because of the layers of nacre that have formed over time. If they feel smooth or glassy, they are probably imitations. You will also get the same result (rough, sandy, or gritty) if two pearls are rubbing together.

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.
