Blind Bid Auction - Ticket to the Moon

Over 200 spikey silver / grey Keshi pearls are accented by eighteen 4.5mm white Keshi Pearls. The necklace is centered by a drop of two clear quartz faceted cylinders, two amethyst-rondels, and four dark grey fresh-water pearls. The sterling silver toggle clasp is accented by an additional two dark grey fresh-water pearls.

Keshi come in a wide variety of colors, and tend to have high luster and even rare orient. This is due to their solid-nacre composition.

Keshi Pearls Are Known For Their Luster

Keshi pearls are 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.

Keshi Pearls Are Now A Very Rare Find

Keshi pearls, were once quite the bargain, yet beautiful and unique pieces. Today, Keshi pearls are much more rare. This is because pearl farms are now x-raying oysters to determine whether or not the nucleus has been expelled, if expelled they are 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.

This stunningly original and beautiful necklace has a minimum bid of $160.
