Keshi pearls

What is a Keshi pearl? I hear you asking...
Keshi comes from the Japanese word Poppy (ケシ, 芥子), as the shape of these pearls may sometimes evoke a poppy flower.
They are formed when the oyster rejects and spits out the implanted nucleus before the culturing process is complete, or the implanted mantle tissue fractures and forms separate pearl sacs without nuclei.
Keshi aren’t found in large quantities and are an extremely rare form of pearl and can take several years to form.


Handmade to order , please allow 12-24 business days for the fabrication of your little beauties.
