The 11mm Purple Edison Freshwater Pearl Stud Earrings

A pair of striking 11mm purple Edison freshwater pearl stud earrings. Edison pearls are a special category of freshwater pearl — not saltwater — cultivated in China using a nucleated technique that produces large, round, deeply lustrous pearls once thought impossible in freshwater farming. Round, luminous, and quietly bold, these pearls catch light with a mirror-like luster that feels both modern and timeless. Their rich purple color is unique to Chinese freshwater pearl cultivation — seawater pearls do not naturally occur in purple. What makes these purple pearls especially captivating is their complex overtone. Much like Tahitian pearls, they shift with the light: you may see soft lavender, deep violet, warm bronze, golden iridescence, or even a hint of Chinese red — yet they remain distinctly freshwater. Each pair carries its own subtle color story. The 11mm size sits confidently on the ear without overwhelming, making these studs as easy to wear with a silk blouse during the day as they are with an evening look. - 11mm round Edison freshwater pearls - Deep purple with rich, shifting overtones - 925 sterling silver posts - Comfortable rubber-backed earring backs with internal metal core for a secure fit - Versatile for everyday wear or special occasions - Part of the First Light collection _Each pair is hand-selected.
