I WANT A FINE QUALITY PEARL NECKLACE. WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT?
The luster is the reflectivity of a pearl and it’s a function of the fineness and regularity of the layers deposited around the nucleus. It makes the pearl more attractive and flattering. Color is also very important, but it varies by demand. In the United States the white rose color is preferred; in Europe ivory is preferred; and in Japan the preference is silvery white.
