The pearl is 100% nacre, non-beaded, as with Freshwater. When these things started appearing 15 years ago or so I guess no one knew what else to call them. But I've been away from pearls for a number of years. The pearl was offered and sold as a keshi with the 'nucleated' qualifier.I guess I'm a little confused-- I thought that Keshi were non- nucleated; accidental pearls as a byproduct of the culturing process. For that pearl to be tissue nucleated, it means it was deliberately cultured?
Can we get Jeremy to chime in on any updated regulations/terminology for saltwater tissue-nucleated pearls? Wouldn't we all agree that they are better existing than not?
