In the 1630s large quantities of pearls were used as clothing accessories. To be truly fashionable pearls needed to be worn in abundance. In the C17th, Jaquin of Paris patented a method of making fake pearls. He coated blown glass hollow balls with varnish mixed with iridescent ground fish scales. The hollow balls were then filled with wax to strengthen them. This method made Paris the main producer of fake pearls for over 200 years.

okay well they made fake pearls but was that done without people knowing they were wearing fake pearls, just making them buy expensive but worthless fake pearls? i really think that people would rather wear the real thing that that fake glass, wax and fish scale thing! ....wax??? wasn't it sticky? well i hope they no more are making those useless glass things!
