The luster of a pearl of good quality is sharp and bright. You should almost be able to see your reflection on the surface of a pearl. A pearl that appears too white, dull or limestone, is of low quality.
(3) The orient of a pearl is the way in which the prism of natural light breaks up in the depths of a pearl's aragonite layers. This iridescence gives the pearl all of the gloss that is modified by the colors, which range from white to black in tones of cream, pink, blue, peacock green, purple, and golden.
