Keshi Backing - 4mm Akoya Keshi
Akoya Keshi pearl earring backs that add a subtle touch of elegance to your existing earrings.
Three approximately 3–4 mm Akoya Keshi pearls are set on each gently curved K10 gold wire.
The small Keshi pearls peeking out from behind the ear create a soft rhythm.
They complement simple single pearls, of course, but can also be paired with your existing earrings to give your everyday look a subtle yet striking accent.
The backs fit posts measuring φ0.7–0.9 mm.
For ESSENTIALS earrings, they are suitable for pearl sizes of 6.5–7.0 mm or larger.
They can also be used with the K18YG Stud from the popular COLLECTIBLE PEARL series.
※They provide a slightly secure fit.
※What are Keshi pearls?
Keshi pearls are formed by chance inside cultured pearl oysters when foreign matter such as sand particles enters and irritates the oyster.
The foreign matter causes slight damage to the inside of the oyster, allowing the cells that form pearls to enter and create a nacreous layer.
Regular pearls are made by inserting a round nucleus and allowing a nacreous layer to form around it, but because Keshi pearls lack a nucleus, they have unique, naturally formed shapes.
However, most have scratches or protrusions, and very few are rounded or of beautifully uniform quality.
