keshi pearls

The highly prized ones are the spherical in shape. If the pearls are cut out of the mollusk shell, it has a semi-spherical shape and called a button pearl. If it is irregular in shape, it is called a baroque pearl. There are many shapes and sizes of pearls and the pearl trade industry classifies some of them according to shape as bell, drop or pear and according to color like white, rose, cream and black. The most beautiful pearls come from the Persian Gulf but some places such as Baja California, Mexico and the Gulf of Panama also produces some high-quality pearls. Freshwater pearls are also gaining popularity and are produced by freshwater mussels. China is one of the leading producers of freshwater river pearls.

There are also pearls which are produced by an unnatural process of pearl formation. Instead of being formed through the repetitive coating of nacre over a foreign substance, some pearls are formed when the mollusk shell spits out the foreign substance (usually a piece of shell) even before the process of coating is complete. The result is a Keshi pearl.

Keshi means “poppy seed” in Japan and the pearls look like that. Japan has started to culture pearls as early as the 1920s, starting with spherical spheres but has branched on to other shaped and sized pearls. Keshi pearls cannot really be considered a natural pearl in its most literal terms since it does not complete the pearl-making process. However, they are still valued in the same way as natural pearls since their occurrence is infrequent and their quality in terms of luster is still topnotch.
