Shape

Pearls form spontaneously, much like keishi, the small pearls that reject the nucleus and retain only the graft tissue around which aragonite aggregates. Tahitian cultured pearls come in a variety of shapes, which are typically classified as round / semi-round, oval / button, drop, circled, semi-baroque, and baroque. While round pearls have long been the preferred shape of buyers, other categories are attracting an increasing number of designers who draw inspiration from the pearls' natural shapes to create one-of-a-kind jewelry. pearls of various shapesshape pearls

Lustre

A pearl’s radiance consists of its lustre and orient. The lustre, or shine, is determined by the degree of light reflection on its surface. Beautiful lustre means that light is totally reflected, resulting in a mirror effect. The weaker the lustre, the duller the effect is. The orient determines the iridescence of a pearl, which comes from the decomposition of light through the layers of nacre. Beautiful orient results in a soft rainbow effect, similar to that seen on soap bubbles.

Size

The size is usually specified in millimetres, with the largest pearls being the most rare and valuable. The majority of Tahitian cultured pearls are 8-14mm in diameter. Extremely rarely, some exceed 18mm in diameter and are regarded as extremely rare treasures.tttt
