Keshi & Baroque Pearls: Embracing the Beauty of Imperfection in Modern Pearl Wedding Jewellery

Keshi & Baroque Pearls 

At Ojewellery, we believe every piece of jewellery tells a story. This blog explores the deeper meaning, style inspiration, and perfect occasions to gift or wear jewellery related to this theme.

The Meaning Behind This Jewellery

This jewellery is more than just a beautiful accessory — it carries symbolism, energy, and sentiment. Whether drawn from ancient traditions or modern interpretations, each piece has something meaningful to offer.

What Are Keshi and Baroque Pearls?

Keshi pearls (from the Japanese word keshi, meaning “poppy seed”) are small, non-nucleated pearls typically formed as a by-product of cultured pearl farming. Made entirely of nacre, they have exceptional lustre and organic shapes that reflect nature's artistry.

Baroque pearls are irregularly shaped pearls, often bold and sculptural. The word Baroque originates from the Portuguese term barroco, meaning “irregular pearl” — a fitting name for pearls that defy the perfectly round ideal. These pearls are prized for their asymmetry and individuality, offering natural elegance that celebrates character over conformity.

Together, Keshi and Baroque pearls honour imperfection as a form of authenticity and personal expression.

How do I care for pearl jewellery?


As a softer stone, pearls require extra care. Avoid exposure to chemicals like perfume or hairspray. Wipe gently with a soft cloth after each wear to maintain their lustre. Store them in a dry place — ideally within a jewellery box or pouch — away from heat or abrasive items, including rubbing alongside other jewellery which could scratch the pearl.
