When you touch pure silk, it feels all warm and cozy when you rub it with your hands. But, here's the thing - when you try to do the same with art silk, you won't feel that warmth at all. It's like the warmth just disappears!

Silk is like a fancy pearl! It shines all pretty because of its special fibers called fibroin. These fibers scatter light, so when you look at silk from different angles, it seems like it's changing colors. But if you have artificial silk, it always looks white no matter how the light hits it.

When you burn real silk, it smells like someone's hair got singed, but when you burn fake silk, it smells like melting plastic. Real silk stops burning as soon as you remove the flame, but fake silk keeps on burning even after you take away the fire. To check, just grab a single strand of silk and light it up with a match.

Did you know that pure silk actually gets more beautiful as it gets older?

On the other hand, imitation silk doesn't age quite as gracefully. Over time, it tends to lose its color and fade away. So, if you want something that stays vibrant and stunning, go for the real deal - pure silk all the way!
