The Orient: the signature of Tahitian Pearls

Iridescence, or "orient," is the subtle, changing play of colors that appears to emanate from within the pearl. This optical phenomenon is due to the diffraction of light through the multiple layers of nacre, creating unique, deep reflections.

At Robert Wan, orient is a key criterion in pearl evaluation. It gives each pearl a distinct personality, with shades ranging from peacock green to silvery gray, aubergine, and bronze.

This exceptional characteristic distinguishes Tahitian pearls and testifies to their authenticity and superior quality.
