Learn Facts About Pearls:

The pearls used in this design are baroque keshi pearls and baroque stick pearls.

Keshi pearls are the rarest of all baroque freshwater pearls. In the case of a Keshi pearl, the mollusk somehow was able to reject the particle or seed but continues to form a pearl. Because of this they don’t have a centre seed or particle and are composed of all nacre. This lack of a nucleus allows them to become very unusually shaped and have a very high lustre.

Stick pearls are also known as BIWA pearls. BIWA pearls are named after the mussels that create them in Lake Biwa, Japan. These pearls are generally flat, elongated, and narrow much like a stick. They are usually drilled down the narrow vertical centre of the pearl, but sometimes you can find them top drilled.
