The tooth test
The tried-and-true method of determining if a pearl is real is to rub it against your teeth. Real pearls will feel slightly gritty and rough because of the layers of nacre than have formed over time.
An imitation pearl will feel smooth and glasslike. Thats because the imitations are made by dipping a plastic or glass bead into some sort of paint, sometimes including iridescent fish scales.

The best way to guarantee you buy real pearls is to always deal with a reputable pearl dealer.
