Keishi pearls are formed when mollusk ejects the pearl bead nucleus and still continues to make a pearl. For that reason, Keishi pearls are available in many unusual shapes and a variety of sizes and colors.
Dark gold keishi pearls are drilled through the flat center of the pearl - what is usually called a "side-drilled" style. Nice highlights appear in the rose, green and yellow tones.

Pearl buying tips:
Freshwater pearls are temporarily strung and sold by the strand. Strands are usually 15.5-16" long (40 cm).
Pearls are a natural product and some styles and colors will be available only in limited amounts. Though we try to buy pearls that can be re-stocked,
some styles may not be available again. So, we suggest you purchase all the strands that you need for a particular project at the same time.
Our pearls are priced based on their overall quality. Higher priced pearls will be more consistent in color and shape and have better luster. Small pearls also will be higher in price (more labor to prepare the strands) as will very large pearls (more rare and they take longer to culture).
The freshwater pearls we sell at abeadstore.com and PearlBeadSale.com are all cultured pearls; for more information about the pearl culturing process please see the All About Pearls page on our wholesale website PearlBeadSale.com.
