high lustre pearls

You might just want to say "extra lustrous pearls" or "high quality pearls".

"perlagione" is translated as nacre, the pearly layer that covers the pearl nucleus and the thicker the layer the better the lustre. So basically these are very lustrous, high quality pearls

unstranslated

These sites don't translate "Piena perlagione" (which would literally translate to "full pearliness").

neutral Shera Lyn Parpia : I would translate it - the translations you give links to are really badly done!
