Freshwater Pearl

The 11mm Purple Edison Freshwater Pearl Stud Earrings

$289

A pair of striking 11mm Edison freshwater pearl stud earrings in a rare, deep purple hue. Round, luminous, and quietly bold, these pearls catch light with a mirror-like luster that feels both modern and timeless.

Purple pearls are unique to Chinese freshwater pearl cultivation—seawater pearls do not naturally occur in purple. Among them, Edison pearls are celebrated as a proud achievement of modern Chinese pearl farming: large, round, and richly colored.

What makes these purple pearls especially captivating is their complex overtone, much like Tahitian pearls. Depending on the light, you may see soft lavender, deep violet, warm bronze, golden iridescence, or even a hint of Chinese red—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.
