| I can also say that the luster is much more important for Japanese because this is the ones that you see when you wear the necklace. If someones wearing the necklaces then you cannot see the imperfections in the surface coating. But if the lusters not good you can see this one very well. I can sell a very good luster quality strand much more easy than a clean strand of lessor luster - always. This is one of the reasons that the culture Akoya is still popular with the buyers is because the luster is usually better than freshwater and the more stronger than south sea pearls. |
