Luster
Close-up of the pearl’s surface. Under light, it shows deep, soft radiance with subtle iridescence. The luster has depth, like a “living glow.
Growth Lines
Natural growth lines look like soft fingerprints — smooth, subtle, and even. They are part of the pearl’s DNA. Cracks or rough breaks, however, are structural defects.
Pits
Small, shallow pits are natural marks, often scattered without affecting beauty. Large, deep pits that damage the surface are considered defects.
Nacre Layers
Thick nacre layers create rich iridescence, like ripples of water or cosmic depth. Thin layers may peel or look pale, reducing durability.
