- The name refers to irregular shaped pearls that were formed without a bead in the center. This can happen as a by-product of cultured pearl farming and/or when a nucleus (bead) has been rejected.
- Keshi is also a Japanese word for poppy, which can be fitting because keshi pearls can often be shaped like petals
- From the collection of Joyce Diamanti, bead researcher, writer and educator.
