Explanation

Baroque pearls are the correct term for pearls with irregular, asymmetrical shapes. The term 'baroque' in this context refers to non-spherical, uneven pearls that can still be lustrous and valuable. 'Eggplant pearls' is not a standard pearl classification term. 'Semi-pearls' is not a recognized gemological term for irregular pearls.
