Black Keshi Pearl Silver Necklace

Description

Black Keshi Pearl Silver Necklace: with 8mm pearls. The black pearls have a sheen that looks similar to oil on water.

In the 1920s, the Japanese began culturing Akoya pearls. After the first harvest, they discovered numerous tiny pearls they called keshi, a Japanese term that means “poppy.” Though they hesitated to discard these highly lustrous nacre treasures, they also desired to spare themselves the task of sorting, stringing, and marketing these seed pearls. Fortunately, Indian tradesmen swiftly bought out the Japanese supplies of keshi pearls.

This necklace would very much be complimented by these Black Keshi Pearl Silver Earrings.
