high lustre pearls
Explanation:
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
