Madsciencechick, I see by your link to your etsy shop you are in KY? Definitely should be bead shows close to there, there are quite a few down here in Nashville Tn and around the south. but another question, do you mean the "real" keshi, the origkinal keshi that are the by product of Japanese Akoya production, or do you mean the generic weird shaped pearls being sold everywhere as "keshi", or the "re-born keshi". It is the second two that are easily available, the first one not as easy to find at good prices as they are rarer I would assume. The definition of keshi has been changed several time I believe by the various associations, but currently it seems every seller refers to just about anything that is not nucleated and of a strange shape as "keshi". Ironically many of the the pearls they are calling keshi are actually nucleated, just not with a bead. Let us know what type of "keshi" you seek and some members here may know sources for you.
