Technical Info:
Keshi Pearls form without a nucleus, so each shape is completely unique like an ocean snowflake.
Pearls maintain their lustre from regular wear and handling, but to preserve the life of your pearl, remove from your body when swimming or showering in chlorinated water. Store in its soft pouch away from heat or sunlight.
Vermeil is sterling silver coated in gold (14K gold). Over time with regular use, the gold will naturally polish away to reveal a sil925 precious metal finish (unlike other gold platednon-precious metals).
The wabi-sabi nature of being worn over time is a beautiful process.
If you would like the original finished restored, I do offer a re-plating service.
