Use Keishi Pearls for Texture & Style
 | | Click the image above to shop keshi-style pearls in beautiful colors. |
Sometimes called petal pearls or cornflake pearls, cultured freshwater keishi pearls (aka keshi-style pearls) offer the perfect way to add texture and variety to beaded designs. Choose your favorite colors of tip-drilled and NEW center-drilled genuine pearls for earrings, bracelets, necklaces, hair accessories and more!
Original "keshi" pearls are small irregular pearls formed by accident. They're named after the Japanese word for poppy seed. "Keishi" or "keshi-style" pearls, including the beads we offer, are slightly larger and are cultivated for the market.
