These Keishi pearls are all non-uniform shapes and look a bit like cornflakes! Keishi freshwater pearls do not have a nucleus and are entirely formed of layers of nacre. As they don’t have a nucleus to act as an irritant, they form nacre in their own unique shapes, mostly flat, but sometimes petal or cornflake shaped, with ripples and bumps adding to their irregular shape. They are very appealing as a modern pearl jewellery option and I love their quirkiness!
These Keishi pearls are dyed green and display beautiful colours in their shiny lustrous surfaces including blue, copper and gold. I’ve accented the strand with 4mm Sterling Silver round beads and finished the necklace with a Sterling Silver filigree clasp. The Keishi pearls are threaded onto 100% natural silk thread so they drape beautifully. I have knotted at every 2.5 inches along the length of the strand, so that in the very unfortunate event of the silk thread snapping, you will not lose your whole strand of pearls all over the floor.
- Keishi Pearls: 6.5mm to 7.5mm
- Metal: all metal components are 925 Sterling Silver – the quality tag and filigree clasp are both stamped 925
- Necklace length: 16 inches (40.5cm). I can increase the length of this necklace by adding in chain on either side of the clasp. Please use the Contact me form to provide details of your requirements or add a note to your order before checking out.
This necklace would make a great gift for a June birthday or a special anniversary.
The necklace will be supplied in a gift box.
Please note: A few of the pearls may have surface imperfections, which are caused by the fact that they are softer than other freshwater pearls and so more susceptible to damage, hairline fractures and that kind of thing, even before they are collected at source. This does not, in my opinion, detract from their beauty, but does mean that they need to be handled carefully to avoid further damage.
