How to Differentiate Between a Real Swarovski Pearl and a Fake Crystal Pearl?

When we hear the word “Swarovski”, we have this image of high-quality and classy crystals in our mind. Why wouldn’t it be, Swarovski is the leading brand when it comes to crystals. Their accuracy, standards, and flawlessness can’t be matched. They make sure that each and every piece is manufactured precisely to match the set parameters and standards.

However, you might come across fake crystal pearls being sold in the name Swarovski. So, in this article, I will talk about how to differentiate between a real and fake Swarovski pearl.

 

• Consistency in Weight

Swarovski Pearls are extremely consistent in weight. If you take a pearl and weigh it with another pearl of same style and size, they are going to weigh the same. You can also try it with as many numbers of pieces as you wish; they will always weigh the same. This is the great aspect of Swarovski crystal pearls which makes the jewelry pieces like necklace sit really nicely on the neck without slipping to the sides.

 

• Consistency in Size of the Hole

This is another aspect which makes them stand out from other pearls. They are precisely manufactured making sure that each and every pearl has a uniform hole size which can’t be easily seen in any of the fake pearls.

 

• Innovative Coating

The Swarovski Pearls have a crystal core that has an innovative coating on its surface which makes it resistant to perspiration, sun, perfume, UV light, and scratches. The coating is extremely even and thick, unlike fake pearls where the coating can be scratched or peeled off. You can easily encounter uneven coating, uneven surface (not smooth), bubbling, discolouration (uneven colouration) in fake pearls. However, Swarovski pearls have a graceful luster and mysterious glow. They also have utmost consistency in colour.

 

These are the three major aspects that will help you to differentiate between real and fake pearls. The best thing about them is if you want to recreate your designs after a month or a year, you can always buy the same colour in the same size and same style.

Their availability in gorgeous colours gives you enormous possibilities to experiment and create a masterpiece. Use them as a fashion statement in jewellery especially necklace, earrings and bracelets. The other most creative use of them other than making jewellery is in embellishing apparels like blouses, dresses, shirts and more. The elegance you get by using them is beyond words.
