The difference between natural pearls and artificial pearls

First, the shapes are different

Natural pearls are naturally formed, and their shapes are not necessarily round, but they are more vivid. Generally, the inner core of cultured pearls is round, so the appearance after molding is round and slightly dim.

Second, the colors are different.

Natural pearls have long formation time, fine texture, high transparency and good luster, while cultured pearls have short formation time, loose texture and weak luster.

Third, the structure is different.

Natural pearls are spontaneously formed by mollusks, and the inner core is timely particles or other substances, while the inner core of artificial pearls is artificially made.

Maintenance methods of artificial pearls

1, pay attention to save.

When maintaining pearls, you should pay attention to preservation. It is suggested that pearls should be put in jewelry boxes or sealed bags to avoid contact with other jewelry and ensure the quality of pearls to some extent.

2, often dry

When pearls are being maintained, they should be aired frequently and need to breathe fresh air, otherwise they will turn yellow. When drying, avoid direct sunlight, otherwise the water inside will be lost and deteriorated.
