Floating Pearl Necklace
Browse Floating Pearl Necklace
 Pearls are back but with a modern twist. The floating pearl necklace is a hot new item that gives the illusion of pearls suspended around your neck. In actuality, the
pearls are held by gold or clear synthetic cord- adding charm to any jewelry collection.
Due to the popularity of this particular item, many retailers sell "faux" floating pearl
necklaces for as little as $4. If you are in the market to purchase cultured pearls, and not an
imitation, beware. Below are some simple tricks to keep in mind to tell the difference from the
two:
- When you hear the word "semi-cultured" be suspicious immediately. Although most people who sell
imitation pearls are forthright, some use misleading slogans such as "semi-cultured" to make you
think otherwise.
- If all of the pearls are flawless, perfectly round, and matching you should know better. Most pearls are not perfectly round.
- Use a magnifying glass. Real pearls have a grainy texture, whereas imitation pearls have a smooth
finish.
- Possibly the best way to ensure you are getting what you pay for is to do the "tooth test."
For hygienic reasons, you may want to ask the storeowner beforehand. Simply rub the pearl against
the biting edge of your front teeth. If the pearl feels gritty, chances are the pearl is real. This grittiness
is the crystalline structure of nacre that forms real and cultured pearls. Imitation pearls are not composed
of nacre and consequently will feel completely smooth to the touch.
Floating pearl necklaces are a great way to add style and flair to any jewelry collection. At Goldenmine.com, we offer floating pearl necklaces as well as pearl pendants, diamond and pearl rings, pearl drop earrings, pink pearl pendants, and more.
