What type of pearl is the best to buy?
10.A. Within your budget, buy quality. Rather than a large, dull pearl, choose a smaller one with attractive luster. The lustre is more important than size, color, shape or surface spots. Fine pearls don’t have to be round. An elegant drop, and attractive button or a unique baroque-shaped pearl can be lovely too. A fine quality pearl need not be silver-pink or peacock-black. Buy the color that you find appealing. More over a pearl with a surface that is only slightly spotted should not distract you, especially when you are charmed by the luster, color, shape, size and price.
