QUALITY FACTORS
Color | The most familiar colors are white and cream (a light yellowish brown). Black, gray, and silver are also fairly common, but the palette of pearl colors extends to every hue. The main color, or bodycolor, is often modified by additional colors called overtones, which are typically pink (sometimes called rosé), green, purple, or blue. |
Cut | Generally the more perfectly round in shape a pearl is, the more rare and prized it is.. |
