Looking for round akoya keshi

[parfaitelumiere]

Hello,
I remember I read somewhere in this forum it can be possible to find round akoya keshi, till 2,5mm or so.
I am looking for this kind of pearl, round keshi or round natural saltwater pearl, to repair some jewelry.
Th cross is about hundred years old 4 pearls are missing, size is about 2,5mm, and color is white-cream, as the pearls are quite old too.

you might contact croissy_pearls on Instagram for small natural pearls as round keshi makes it more difficult to find

I think their price will just be crazy.

I think it will be easier to find natural pearls.
BTW: Do they have to be Akoya?

I am sure I have some that I could part with. They are Pinctada mazatlanica.
I have to see if I have enough ROUND ones.

I can get you cultured akoya to fit, if that is any use

Considering the jewelry period, yes, natural would be more interesting, depending on price and size.
Mazatlanica should be perfect.

I will look into my stash and send you some options.

I've been terribly busy!

I have been looking at what I have left...OMG, those 8 months without work really helped me to lose some weight...in pearls!
I remembered I had so much more pearls than I actually do!
And all the rounds and button shapes...disappeared (meaning, sold)
All I have left are two lots of mostly baroque shaped naturals.
Sorry!

Im sure you can order some from the Japanese pearl companies . Takahashi on IG can usually find small pearls for jobs like this.. where are you located? You don't want to spend a fortune on shipping if you just need a couple of tiny pearls. They look to be a soft white so maybe a cream shade or less pinked Akoya? I think the natural white Akoya might be too bright white? Cheaper will be tiny freshwater have you looked at Wen or Kong on Etsy ?

It's impossible for us to find round Keshi Akoya pearls here. But round cultured Akoya pearls and baroque Akoya Keshi pearls are available.

A vintage piece of cross jewellery.

I am sorry, but I don't know where you will find the original Akoya Keshi pearl.

After researching this, I found some Akoya Keshi pearls are also selling online.
