The term baroque is used to describe the shape of a pearl. A baroque pearl can be a little irregular in shape or a very abstract pearl. Baroque pearls can be freshwater pearls or saltwater pearls.  A cultured pearl or naturally occurring pearl can have a baroque shape too. So to sum it up, baroque pearls are pearls with an irregular, uneven or non-spherical shape. It's all about the shape of the pearl folks!  The fact of the matter is, all pearls that are not round could be classified as baroque pearls.
