What are keshi pearls?
They're pearls made from layers of mother-of-pearl in a natural way. Unlike other cultured pearls, they have no core.
This means that keshi pearls are essentially irregularly baroque in shape, as the mollusc no longer has a round support on which to build its nacre. They are particularly prized for their high lustre.
