Rub them against your teeth, and if they feel gritty, they are real. If they rub smoothly, they are fake.

When you rub one against your front teeth, a real one feels slippery, sort of like a stone and hard and kind of icey. A fake one feels like plastic, even a funny taste and has a softer feel to it.

the old trick is rub them against your teeth (or look at them with a magnifying glass) if they are perfectly round and no little bumps - they are fake. real pearls are not perfect.

If you rub them against your teeth and they feel gritty, they're real. If they're smooth, they're fake.

If you rub them against your teeth and they feel gritty, they're probably real. If they're smooth, they're fake.
