To determine if freshwater pearls are real, examine their surface and shape; genuine pearls usually have a slightly gritty texture and are not perfectly round, while fake ones tend to be smooth and uniformly shaped. You can also perform a simple "tooth test" by gently rubbing the pearl against the edge of your teeth—real pearls will feel gritty, whereas fake ones will feel smooth. Additionally, real pearls often exhibit a subtle, layered luster that fake pearls, typically made of glass or plastic, lack.
