Natural and Cultured Pearl Identification Reports

The AGTA Gemological Testing Center will examine pearls to determine their natural or cultured origin, as well as enhancements. In the case of beaded, nucleated, cultured pearls, the AGTA Gemological Testing Center may also, upon request, state the thickness of the nacre covering.
