What is a keshi pearl?

- Categories : News

One of the advantages of being a jewelry designer is to be able to work with all kinds of beautiful materials. There are, of course, many pearls made from synthetic materials like glass or plastic, but there is something really remarkable about working with beads made from natural materials from Mother Earth. If you like the beauty and sophistication of pearls, you won't be able to resist the elegance of Keshi pearls making our jewelry unique pieces.

While the mention of the word pearl normally evokes images of perfectly spherical stones in ivory or white tones, pearls can form in many other ways.

Keep reading to learn more about what keshi pearls are and how we use them in our creations.

What are Keshi pearls?

In general, pearls are formed in two ways. They form naturally or are the result of a process known as culture. In both cases, the resulting stone is "natural." The difference lies in the process rather than the final product.

Keshi pearls are unique because they don't quite fit the definition of a natural pearl or cultured pearl. They form an incredibly beautiful by-product of the standard process of growing pearls. However, they are not created intentionally.

To form cultured pearls, workers place a support inside a mollusc's mantle, such as a mussel or oyster. Over time, this support leads the mollusc to secrete a substance called mother-of-pearl. The mother-of-pearl accumulates in layers around the support, eventually forming a pearl.

In some cases, however, a small piece of mother-of-pearl is released during the process of making the pearl. This piece also acts as a support inside the mollusc and is covered with additional layers of mother-of-pearl. The bead that forms is called keshi pearl.

Keshi pearls are unique for several reasons. To begin with, it is formed entirely from mother-of-pearl. While materials like sand are often used as support in cultured pearls, the medium that causes the formation of a keshi pearl is mother-of-pearl.

The size of keshi pearls ranges from 2 mm to 10 mm. These fabulous gems are truly amazing. They are incredibly bright and comfortable to wear.

For this reason, some people think that keshi pearls are one of the most natural types. These stones are also prized for their brilliant brilliance. They tend to be even brighter than the highest quality cultured pearls.

Exceptional pearls

What will surprise by observing keshi pearls is their varied shape. No pearls are alike and that's what makes our keshi jewelry truly unique pieces.

Because there was no perfect pearl or core to help the mollusk create the perfect pearl, keshi pearls are usually random in shape, ranging from thin long pearls to round, flat pearls. You will very rarely find perfectly round keshi pearls. That's why keshi bead shapes inspire designers to create elegant and different jewelry.

Whether casual and bohemian or stylish and chic, keshi pearls lend themselves well to any jewelry style. When designing keshi bracelets or necklaces, the pearls must be rigorously chosen to create a harmonious ensemble.

Large keshi pearls with intense luster are very rare. In fact, keshi are one of the most sought-after baroque pearls today. Not only are they beautiful and unique, but they are very light to wear compared to the nucleated baroque pearls. The brilliance of keshi pearls does not diminish easily, keeping keshi beaded jewels sparkling and shiny for decades.
