Keshi Cultured Half-Drilled 7–9mm Pearl, White

This keshi cultured pearl offers a lustrous white color and features organic, asymmetrical surfaces—the size, surface and shape of each pearl varies slightly. Each pearl is half-drilled in the back with an organic round shape, making it ideal for setting onto pearl pegs for pendants, drops or earrings. Highlight its color by setting it in silver or add contrast and warm tones to custom designs by combining it with yellow-gold findings. Use jeweler’s epoxy to secure the pearl on a pearl peg.Cultured pearls are cultivated in water from mussels, often the triangle shell mussel (Hyriopsis cumingii), that are specially selected for their prolific production of nacre. It is not unusual for a single mussel to produce multiple pearls simultaneously. According to one legend, the pearl was formed from the tears of the goddess of love. For many, pearls are a symbol of pure heart and mind, honesty and integrity.
