KESHI PEARL

What Are Keshi Pearls?

Keshi pearls form naturally when an oyster rejects the implanted nucleus during pearl cultivation and continues to build nacre over the remaining tissue. This leads to pearls that are fully made of nacre with no inner core, resulting in unique shapes such as baroque, oval, and teardrop. Since 1987, Gem Selections has offered government lab-certified Keshi Pearls along with Natural Pearls (Fresh Water), Natural Pearls (South Sea Pearls), and Venezuela Pearls (Basra Pearls).

Keshi pearls sourced from freshwater and South Sea environments show soft white, cream, golden, and pastel shades with a bright natural shine. Gem Selections ensures full certification and authenticity for both jewelry and astrological purposes.

Unique Characteristics

Keshi pearls are valued for their strong shine because they consist entirely of thick nacre layers. They are more durable compared to pearls that contain a nucleus. Their usual size ranges between 2 mm to 10 mm. These pearls appear in natural shades such as white, cream, pink, peach, gold, grey, and soft black. Their surface may have minor natural marks that add character. The nacre-rich structure gives them a metallic glow from multiple angles.

Certified Keshi pearls at Gem Selections show these features clearly. Their pure nacre structure also helps prevent peeling, making them suitable for daily use.

Formation Process

In cultured pearls, a nucleus is inserted inside an oyster. For Keshi pearls, the oyster rejects this nucleus but continues forming nacre around leftover tissue. This creates natural, non-nucleated pearls over 1–3 years. Keshi pearls are collected along with other pearls but separated due to their rarity. Gem Selections sources Keshi pearls only from trusted suppliers dealing in freshwater, South Sea, and Venezuela pearls.

Benefits for Jewelry and Astrology

Keshi pearls add elegance to jewelry due to their natural shapes and shine. They are used in necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, and modern designs. Their nacre-rich structure makes them strong enough for regular wear.

In astrology, Keshi pearls are used as natural moti stones for remedies at Gem Selections. Many people prefer them for purity, shine, and uniqueness. They also pair well with gemstones such as diamonds.

How to Identify Genuine Keshi Pearls?

Identifying genuine Keshi pearls involves checking their shine, surface texture, and weight. Because they are made fully of nacre, they show stronger reflection when compared to pearls with a nucleus. Their shapes are naturally uneven, and no two Keshi pearls look exactly the same. When touched, they feel slightly cooler and heavier due to their dense structure. The surface may show tiny natural marks that confirm authenticity instead of artificial polishing.

Gem Selections provides lab certification for Keshi pearls to make the selection process clear for customers. Freshwater, South Sea, and Basra-inspired Keshi pearls are tested for nacre content, formation patterns, and natural qualities before being listed for jewelry or astrological use. This gives buyers clarity about what they are choosing and helps them understand the true value of Keshi pearls.

Why Are Keshi Pearls Popular Today?

Keshi pearls are gaining attention because of their natural shapes and strong shine. Many people prefer them over perfectly round pearls as they look more expressive in jewelry designs. Their unique form adds character to pendants, bracelets, and earrings. Designers use them to create both classic and modern looks that stand out because of the shape and shine. They also offer a premium feel due to their nacre-rich construction.

In astrology, Keshi pearls are chosen for their purity and natural formation. Since they do not contain any artificial core, they are believed to hold natural strength and energy. At Gem Selections, customers often choose South Sea pearl, freshwater, and Basra-inspired Keshi pearls for astrological remedies and regular wear. Their long-lasting shine and solid structure make them attractive for both fashion and purpose-based requirements.

Care and Maintenance

Keep pearls away from perfumes, lotions, and strong chemicals.

Clean with mild soapy water and a soft cloth.

If worn often, restring pearl strands periodically.

Gem Selections advises customers on proper care for long-term use.
