(1) Pearl luster measures the quantity and quality of light reflected from the pearl's surface or from just beneath it.
A high-quality pearl has crisp, bright luster.
You should almost be able to see your reflection on the pearl's surface.
A pearl that appears overly white, dull, or chalky is of low quality.
(2) Pearl orient refers to how natural light refracts within the depths of the pearl's aragonite layers. This iridescence gives the pearl its brilliance, enhanced by color overtones ranging from white to black, including shades of cream, pink, blue, peacock green, purple, and gold.
