Orient
The Orient is the heart and soul of the pearl.
The Orient is defined as the way the pearl reflects and decomposes light through aragonite crystals.
The Orient is the play of light penetrating the surface, the depth of color and light that can be observed by looking past the reflective lustrous
surface and into the many layers of pearl material or nacre.
Each layer reflects light and creates the illuminating glow reflecting light from within the pearl.
The best way to observe orient is to hold the pearl in front of a neutral background such as a white shell.
As light shines into the pearl, the eye is able to see past the surface color and to the colors of each layer of nacre that surrounds the pearl.
