Pearls have always been one of the most popular gemstone varieties in China, especially freshwater pearl varieties with their rich color and yield to meet the various needs of high and low end jewelry. Today, I will talk about "Edison Pearl".
What is an Edison pearl
Edison pearls are freshwater pearls with high-tech research and development, ecological culture and excellent quality. Usually freshwater pearls are seedless culture technology, and Edison pearl culture technology is to imitate the culture method of seawater pearls in the mother of the pearl implanted in the mother of the pearl, so that the mother shell secreted pearl layer by layer wrapped in the nuclear mold to grow the pearl.
In addition, when Edison pearls grow, they artificially add some trace elements to the water, causing it to form a special metallic texture; and because of the addition of color additives, the color of pearls has become more abundant. Not only does it have the same milky white, pink orange, pink purple and other colors as ordinary freshwater cultured pearls, but also brilliant orange and bright purple, and some Edison pearls also have a variety of different metallic colors, which are the unique colors of Edison pearls.
CHAPTER 01
The name of the Edison pearl comes from
Thomas Alvar Edison is known as the "King of Inventions of the World", with more than 2,000 invention patents in his lifetime. In the United States, Edison has 1093 patents under its name, and the number of patents in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and other places has accumulated more than 1500. However, when Edison visited the Japanese Mikimoto Pearl in 1927, he regrettably said, "There are two things in my laboratory that cannot be made, one is a diamond and the other is a pearl."
To pay tribute to this inventor and make up for his regrets. This freshwater nucleated pearl with its luxurious size and beautiful color was named the "Edison Pearl".
CHAPTER 02
Characteristics of Edison pearls
The shape is round and the diameter is large
Because it is cultured in the core, and the growth time is long (usually more than 5 years), the diameter of the Edison pearl can basically reach more than 11 mm, and the roundness is very good; and the ordinary freshwater cultured pearls are seedless culture, and the breeding cycle is usually only 3 to 5 years, so its diameter is generally not so large; even if it can reach a large, the roundness is difficult to match with the Edison pearl.
Strong gloss
Due to the rapid secretion of spinnaker mussel pearls, the bead layer is thick and the luster is comparable to that of seawater pearls, and the top Edison pearls can achieve "mirror luster" and clearly reflect the portrait.
Rich in color and highly saturated
Edison pearls in the breeding process will artificially add special additives to the mother-of-pearl oyster, thus forming a rich color, so that the color saturation of Edison pearls is high, the color is full, the halo is clear, especially the purple and bronze colors with high color saturation, with a metallic luster, very stunning.
In addition to the traditional white, gold, pink orange, pink purple, Edison pearls, there are also dark purple, violet, bronze and other color varieties with special metallic halos, and some single pearls can even have a variety of different color color metallic.
