Question 1

Are Pandora pearls real?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Pandora's pearls are real, treated freshwater cultured pearls. To spot genuine pearls, look for small natural differences in shape and surface, a layered tone rather than a flat, uniform colour and a cool feel when first touched. When rubbed gently together, real pearls may also feel slightly textured rather than perfectly smooth.

Question 2

How are pearls made?

Accepted Answer

If you're wondering, "[How are pearls made](https://ca.pandora.net/en/blog/how-are-pearls-made/)?" Pandora's natural pearl materials are either mother of pearl or freshwater cultured pearls. Mother of pearl is the smooth inner shell layer created by a mollusc that is cut to form a pearl. Freshwater cultured pearls are made inside molluscs when a skilled pearl technician inserts an irritant inside the shell. It's covered by layers of nacre until it's fully enclosed, forming a pearl.
