PEARL FEATURES

LUSTRE

Lustre is one of the most crucial factors in determining a pearl's value. It refers to the quality of light reflection on the pearl's surface, which is closely tied to the thickness of the nacre. As nacre layers accumulate, they create the pearl's characteristic shine and sparkle. The more layers of nacre, the greater the pearl's lustre and hardness. Conversely, a dull surface indicates a thinner nacre layer. Pearls with high lustre are more valuable, as they exhibit a deeper, more vibrant glow.

SHAPE

Pearls come in a variety of shapes, from perfectly round to baroque. Round pearls are the rarest and most valuable, prized for their symmetry. Drop and baroque shapes, known for their unique and irregular forms, are highly valued by designers and pearl enthusiasts for their distinctive beauty.

BLEMISHES

The surface quality of a pearl is a key factor in determining its value. Natural imperfections are common in pearls, and flaws like scratches can impact both their appearance and durability. These imperfections can indirectly lower the pearl's value. Simply put, the smoother and cleaner the pearl's surface, the higher its worth.
