Fig. 1

High and low quality cultured pearl samples from P. margaritifera. Each row within each condition (high or low quality), represents a specific pool (n = 4 cultured pearls / pool / condition). Numbers represent pools by condition (high or low pearl quality). High quality pearls concerned pearls with maximum two or three spots (C grade and above), showing lustre, without any circle and calcitic imperfection on its surface. Low quality pearls (D1 and D2 grades) corresponded to pearls with damaged surfaces, but D1 grade pearls also had lustre and colour that was absent in D2
