Defining Keshi
Keshi pearl’s identity gets new protection.
historically, Keshi pearls are understood to be a lovely mishap.
The word Keshi means “poppy seed” in Japanese and it was first given to accidental seed-like pearls that unintentionally formed inside nucleated saltwater Japanese Akoya oysters.
The implanted nucleus was either expelled or bits of implanted tissue had loosened — in any case, these little surprises were serendipitous.
Similar occurrences in South Seas and Tahitian pearl farming produced larger-millimeter sizes and ever more unusual shapes.
Keshi-like pearls result from similar development in freshwater cultured pearl farming.
