I don't find it easy at all to see orient in my Freshadamas. Really, I can see it better when photographing them under a daylight spectrum lamp, but with the naked eye, not really. I see it much easier in my baroques.

Gem quality are Freshadama quality minus the orient. AAA have somewhat less luster when seen enlarged in a close-up photo (I'm basing that on a photo of the two side by side which Kristen emailed me), but someone here has posted that at arms-length away (the distance from which most people would view them on you) the luster is very good. Certainly AAA costs a lot less. In the photo they looked round, too.
