Choosing pearls with intention

Lustre first

Lustre is the sharpness of reflection on the pearl surface. In soft daylight, roll the strand slowly: crisp highlights signal healthy nacre.

Surface and shape

• Surface: tiny blemishes are natural; clouds that dull the skin are not.
• Shape: baroque can feel modern; rounds read classic. There is no wrong answer, only your vocabulary.

Wear and care

Rinse after salt or sunscreen. Store flat, away from heat vents. Restring silk every few years if you wear a necklace weekly.

Pearl + diamond + warm gold = evening without trying too hard.
