Top 3 Things Make Keshi Pearls Different From Other Pearls
Keshi pearls are irregularly shaped and are usually small due to lack of nucleus to influence its profile. Keshi is a Japanese word for "poppy seed". Thus, keshi is also called the seed pearl deriving the name from its size. As a matter of fact, some are just a little bigger than a grain of sand. Keshi pearls can grow from saltwater or freshwater shells.
How is a Keshi Pearl formed?
There is a unique way that a keshi pearl can form inside the shell. It is stimulated to grow by planting a bead nucleus into the oyster. A bead nucleus is usually taken from the outer shell of clams and formed to a regular round shape. This bead will then be put into the soft tissue of the mollusk. When this irritant is placed inside the mollusk, the production of nacre begins.
Nacre production is the defense mechanism of the shell in order to protect itself from any foreign matter. Nacre is made to wrap the foreign bodies that have entered the shell.
However, there are some times that the shell spits out the bead nucleus even before it becomes a good pearl. Even without the foreign object, the shell continues to produce nacre because it has already gotten irritated. What happens is that the nacre clumps together without a nucleus, and the result is a distinct pearl. The rejection process forms a secondary product called the keshi pearl.
Keshi pearl is a by-product of actual pearl culture
As outlined, keshi pearls are accidental growths inside the mother oyster. The primary product that is actually planned for is the symmetrical, proportionately shaped pearl or the cultured round pearl. The rounded and regular pearl always sell for a higher price due to its good symmetry. Even though the irregular shape of keshi pearls gives them a distinct appeal, they are still priced lower than the round ones.
How does a keshi pearl look like?
If you want to go shopping for keshi jewelry, you have to know what it should look like. Keshi has a solid nacre component and because of that, each pearl has unusually bright luster.
Keshi pearls can be found in many shapes but generally are irregular. Each one is definitely different than the others. Layer upon layer of pure nacre makes the keshi produce a rainbow of colors, and this contributes even more to their appeal. Because they're exotic and unique, keshi pearls are a fashion accessory that makes the wearer stand out.
This kind of pearl can be seen in a variety of colors and shades. Pearl farmers have discovered the technology of applying dyes according to the preferences of the market. Different cultures have distinct color preferences, depending on the shade of their skin. The possibility of color matching has provided pearl culture a good way to attract more and more clients for these precious pearls. To be clear, keshis are real pearls although they are cultured.
Pearls are timeless pieces of gems. You can never go wrong wearing pearls such as keshis. Aside from its trendy colors and designs that can be made to match any outfit, it can be used in any occasion. It can be worn whether you are out for some late afternoon shopping or for a night out.
