Baroque Pearls – the freaks of the pearl world
While many pearls are expected to grow perfectly round, nature chooses otherwise, creating forms that feel almost surreal. Through irritations within the mussel—such as a grain of sand—through movement and environmental influences, nacre is deposited unevenly, and the pearl grows in unexpected directions. Twisted shapes emerge, waves, bulges, or drop-like formations. On the uneven surface of the pearl, fascinating plays of light appear.
Baroque pearls are not perfect. They are better than perfect. They are wild, unpredictable, unique.
Keshi Pearls – the rebels of the pearl world
The formation of a pearl is an accident of nature. The nucleus normally inserted into a mussel to create evenly round pearls is sometimes rejected. The mussel expels the nucleus but continues to produce nacre—unpredictable and free in form. These pearls range from 4 to 12 mm in size and resemble small clouds, leaves, or miniature sculptures. Each pearl is unique, as if the mussel had created a work of art. They consist of 100% nacre and display a beautiful luster.
These small works of natural art show that sometimes the unplanned is the most beautiful of all.
