More


Went back and got more of these pearls they're just too great to pass up! Now I need to make a necklace and earrings to match...:)

These are cream colored, very beautiful keishi pearls.
Here's a definition I found: Keishi pearls are accidents of the pearl's culturing process. They form from oyster mantle that is attached to the mother-of-pearl bead that is inserted into the oyster. Keishi, always irregular in shape, occur in Japanese and South Seas culturing processes. Usually they are silvery, white or black in color; occasionally a fancy colored one is born.
