Luster

Pearls produce an intense, deep shine called luster. This is a combination of the pearl’s exterior shine and glow from within, created by light reflected from the calcium carbonate crystals that make up the pearl’s nacre. Luster is determined by the nacre’s thickness, degree of translucence, and arrangement of layers. These factors vary depending on the type of pearl and how long it’s allowed to grow. Contrary to popular belief, a pearl’s nacre is not related to its size. A tiny Akoya pearl may have amazing luster, while a large one that’s harvested too early, would be very dull.

Shapes

There are three main pearl shapes: spherical, symmetrical, and baroque or non-symmetrical. The basic pearl shapes fall within those categories like this:

Spherical

  • Round
  • Near-round

Symmetrical

  • Oval
  • Button
  • Drop
  • Teardrop

Baroque (Non-Symmetrical)

  • Semi-baroque
  • Baroque

Surface Markings

As a mollusk creates a pearl, the layers of nacre do not always adhere smoothly. Sometimes spots and bubbles, called surface markings, can appear in the layering process. Pearls with the smoothest surfaces are the highest-quality, and the most sought-after—and they come with a price tag to match.
