Cultured Keshi pearls auction from Lombok island Indonesia

What's Keshi pearls?

Keshi pearls 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. These pearl sacs eventually produce pearls without a nucleus.

Keshi may form in either saltwater or freshwater pearls. They are generally small in size and, because there was no nucleus to guide the ultimate shaping of the pearl, their shapes vary widely. Keshi come in a wide variety of colors, and tend to have high luster and even rare orient. This is due to their solid-nacre composition.

Because the implanted nucleus of the pearl has been expelled by the oyster, the resulting keshi pearl is 100% nacre. This gives it an especially lustrous and shimmering surface quality. Most keshi, in fact, have a greater luster than even the best-quality cultured pearls. The fact that keshi pearl are solid nacre does not, however, give them the classification of natural pearls.

When a nucleus-free oyster is found they are then re nucleated before a keshi has time to form. This practice has made keshi pearls much more of a rare find than they once used to be.

Keshi pearls from both white and black South Sea pearl oysters can reach any size from 4 to 10 millimeters above. The fact that it is the only

The word keshi means "poppy seed" in Japanese, and these pearls are often also referred to as "poppy seed pearls."
