The size of the oyster varies from 15 to 25 cm. It is known as variety cumingii in French Polynesia and variety galtsoffii in Hawai. Tahitian pearls don’t actually come from Tahiti, but rather from French Polynesia, and other small atolls throughout the South Pacific. Tahitian pearls or “Black” pearls come in a variety of exotic colors. Tahitian pearls are gray to black with green, blue, rose or rainbow overtones and range from 10 to 18 mm in diameter. The largest Tahitian pearl every cultured is 26.9 millimeters in diameter. Definition Keshi Pearls : A Keshi is a pearl without a nucleus formed by accident as a by-product of a pearl culturing operation. Keshi pearls are formed when the oyster rejects and spits out the implanted nucleus before the culturing process is complete, or the implanted mantle tissue fractures and forms separate pearl sacs without nuclei. These pearl sacs eventually produce pearls without a nucleus. Because the oyster has expelled the implanted nucleus of the pearl, the resulting Keshi pearl is 100% nacre. This gives it an especially lustrous and shimmering surface quality. Most Keshi, in fact, have a greater luster than even the highest quality cultured pearls. The fact that Keshi pearls are solid nacre does not, however, give them the classification of natural pearls. This is because Keshi are a bi-product of the culturing process, and not a natural occurrence. Keshi pearls, especially Tahitian and South Sea Keshi, were once quite the bargain, yet beautiful and unique pieces. Today, Keshi pearls are much rarer. This is because Tahitian and South Sea pearl farms are now x-raying oysters to determine whether or not the nucleus has been expelled. When a nucleus-free oyster is found they are then re-nucleated before a Keshi has time to form. This practice has made Keshi pearls much more of a rare find than they once used to be. The word Keshi means "poppy seed" in Japanese, and these pearls are often also referred to as "poppy seed pearls." Remarks : This stunning Tahitian Keshi pearl is an inspiration from nature! Since the dawn of civilization, pearls have been one of the most priced possessions of mankind. Like gold or jewels, they hold an irresistible allure for people as a symbol of rare beauty and wealth. There were times when pearls were harvested one by one from wild oysters living under the sea. Today there are not many traditional divers that still search for natural pearls in this manner. Instead high-quality South Sea pearls are cultivated organically in farms in the pristine waters of Tahiti. The color is natural and doesn’t have any enhancements. This Tahitian black pearl is simply beautiful. To touch this pearl is to touch the smoothness of silk! This pearl is made by nature; nurtured by man, every individual pearl carries with it the adventure, a history and a story, unique only to pearls.
