*Cultured Pearls, both Freshwater and Saltwater, are Real Pearls.
Most Pearls sold by Fine Jewelers are Cultured Pearls.
They are grown under controled conditions inside of oysters and freshwater molusks.
The controled conditions produce more consistant size and shape pearls than
those grown by accident, by implanting a piece of shell wrapped in the tissue from another
oyster or mussel inside the oyster, which causes a pearl to grow around it.

Swarovski and Glass pearls are not real pearls, they are immitations made with a pearlized coating. Swarovski Crystal pearls are made by a process that makes them much more resistant to peeling than other types of glass immitation pearls.
You can tell the difference between a Real Pearl and an immitation by rubbing it on your teeth.
A Real Pearl will feel gritty. An immitation will feel smooth.
