Faye is modeling a keshi pearl necklace hand knotted on silk with matching keshi pearl earrings.
Keshi pearls are a non-standard variety of cultured pearl that come in a range of shapes. This can include round oval, flat, thin and long as well as other odd shapes. These characteristics make keshi pearls make an excellent choice for modern jewelry.
Keshi pearls grow without a nucleus, therefor they aren’t round. Keshi’s are composed entirely of nacre, the substance mollusks produce in the process of creating pearls. Keshi pearls have a high luster, with many nooks and crannies that reflect the light to show their beautiful overtones to great advantage.
To find out more about these lustrous pearls check out the Kojima Pearl Company blog on keshi pearls.
