Collection: Edison Freshwater Earrings

Most freshwater pearls are nucleated by tissue, but Edison cultured pearls are nucleated with beads, exactly as saltwater pearls, which are grown in an oyster. The beads are implanted into mussels, selected through genetic research, with a special technique – a secret that is guarded closely.

Only one pearl is cultured in each mussel, allowing for a much larger sized pearl to grow inside the shell. They have a bright lustre and come in vivid colours such as white, peach, pink, gold, metallic, plum, and aubergine-purple. Traditional freshwater pearls rarely produce pearls in such large sizes and so many unique natural colours with amazing lustre.
