18ct Gold 11-11.5mm Edison Pearl Stud Earrings

Edison Pearls are high-quality, cultured pearls named after Thomas Edison, the famous American inventor. These pearls are produced by inserting a piece of mantle tissue from a donor shell into the gonad of a host oyster, a process known as tissue nucleation. The host oyster then forms a pearl sac around the tissue, and over time, layers of nacre are deposited, resulting in the formation of a pearl.

Edison Pearls are known for their large size, typically ranging from 10 to 16 millimetres in diameter. They are also known for their lustre, which is a measure of how light reflects off the surface of the pearl. Edison Pearls often have a high lustre, giving them a bright and reflective appearance. Additionally, these pearls come in a variety of colours, including white, pink, lavender, peach, and black.

Edison Pearls have gained popularity in recent years due to their size, lustre, and vibrant colours. They are considered a luxury item.
