3: Gold: Luxurious & warm-toned. 

4: Black: Bold & sophisticated. 

Not sure? White pearls never go wrong! 

3. Check the Luster 

A good pearl shines brightly and reflects light clearly. Dull pearls lack quality. Always choose the one with the best glow! 

4. Consider Shape & Surface 

1: Round, Classic & timeless. 

2: Oval/Teardrop: Unique & stylish.
