On this forum everyone knows what pearl names mean... but once out, 'freshwater keshi' sounds exotic and when used, every shop seems to have a different understanding for these words (anything from slightly off-round, to thin 'petal' shape described
HERE). Honestly, I am not sure either what is the correct meaning, since most freshwater pearls are non-nucleated anyway and 'keshi' was meant to descibe non-nucleated accidents from saltwater cultivation.
All in all, the 'Freshadama' are really not expensive compared to any pearls with collector's pedigree I have ever found (meaning, no treatment & high quality... regardless of shape and size). I didn't try Ebay and would like to look for some oddities there in the future, but so far nothing really jumped off the screen as a real bargain. Zeide's find(s) logged on this forum are quite tempting though!
