| Then...we also have ORIENT which is also very hard to capture on a photo since it is a dynamic visual effect that is best seen as you gently move the pearl. In this case, a photograph is a "static" representation that will never be able to give you the full effect.
Nevertheless, some pearls are so full with Orient that some of this incredible beauty -just a mere fraction- will be seen on the photo.
These baroque pearls are over 10mm in diameter and display good orient and overtones. It is easier to "catch" Orient on baroque pearls...their uneven surface allowing for a better play of colors.
