I've heard of keishi pearls, what are they?

Keishi Pearls Feel Rejected

Keishi pearls are unusually shaped, and there's a good reason for that. They form as a result of rejection! The implanted bead nucleus of these pearls is rejected by the mollusk, and the result is this all-nacre pearl. They are usually shaped very haphazardly, and are quite lustrous. They make spectacular jewelry, and since no two look quite the same, your design will always be unique.
