Wake pearls scandal shocks London jewelers
A prominent London jeweler uncovered imitation Wake pearls imported from Japan in large quantities. Tens of thousands of dollars of spurious gems flood the market as jewelers petition the Board of Trade to ban imports until a reliable test is found. Many society women are believed to wear the fakes, made by covering a mother of pearl bead with a thin layer that mimics true Oriental pearls. Detecting them requires breaking the gem, an expensive risk if it proves genuine.
