Learn what makes pearl lustre special, how to recognise beautiful reflections and what to look for when choosing freshwater pearl jewellery.
When choosing freshwater pearls, one of the most important qualities to consider is lustre.
Lustre describes the way light reflects from a pearl's surface. Pearls with exceptional lustre often display bright, sharp, mirror-like reflections, while pearls with softer lustre tend to have more diffused reflections.
High-quality lustre gives pearls their distinctive radiance and can make even the simplest pearl earrings look remarkably elegant.
At Ora Jewelry, we carefully select freshwater pearls for their natural beauty, beautiful lustre and timeless appeal.
Whether you're looking for an everyday essential or a meaningful gift, understanding pearl lustre can help you find a piece you'll treasure for years to come.
