A little while ago, I promised you a small “primer” on THE newest, hottest pearls in the industry: Edison Pearls. “Edison Pearls” are the latest in a LONG line of Freshwater pearl experiments are aimed taking on the legendary White and Golden South Sea pearls from Australia. These pearls are produced by a few radical pearl farms in China, and have only been available for 2-3 years now on the markets. Traditionally Freshwater pearls have always been what we call "tissue-nucleated". This forms a solid-nacre pearl, but the pearls have always been characterized by their Off-Round to Oval and Potato shapes which many in the industry found to be not ideal. Saltwater pearls (Akoya, South Sea and Tahitians) are nucleated with a perfectly round bead nucleus, which gives the oyster a "template" to form nacre around. This eventually leads to a perfectly round pearl (hopefully!).
