This enigmatic and edgy necklace features a strand of gorgeously strange Japanese keshi pearls. Keshi, which means “poppy seed”, pearls are all nacre, but not natural because they are the byproduct of nucleated cultured pearl farming. They are common because the mollusk wants to reject the culturing bead and rare because pearl farmers now x-ray their mollusks to discover which have spit the beads out so that those can be renucleated.

This strand, which looks something like shark teeth, coral fingers or shooting stars, is the most beautifully subtle and natural peach colour, with even orient, shimmering surfaces and that high lustre that only a keshi can boast.

The pearls are interspersed at odd points with tiny round beads of recycled 18K gold, and at the center of the strand sits a stunning smoky quartz stone. Laser-cut in a convex pattern, this stone 15mm tall, 18mm wide and glows with a warm umber that complements the peachy hue of the pearls. The necklace finishes with an 18K gold lobster clasp.

This one-of-a-kind, cannot-be-replicated, looks like danger but feels like lace necklace measures 18” (45.7cm) in length and is ready to ship.
