The keshi is created when the oyster rejects the nucleus and only forms with the small piece of graft (piece of the mantle of a pearl oyster).
Coming from the Pacific Ocean, this little wonder of nature is entirely made of mother-of-pearl.
The creation of a keshi is unpredictable. Its size, its color and its shape are only the result of chance: it is what makes them so rare and valuable.
Gold plating consists of depositing 18-carat gold on the jewel by passing an electric current. This method of electroplating, or also referred to as electrolysis, can be repeated on the jewel so as to obtain various thicknesses of gold on it.
In the jewelry industry the term used to quantify plating is micron which is one millionth of a meter. A single plating procedure will ultimately yield gold plating equivalent to one micron. The standard in France is 3 microns.
