The Latest Breakthrough in Pearl Research: Golden Edison real pearl jewelry
In Chinese folklore, golden pearls are said to bring luck and prosperity to their owner, and in Chinese artwork, you’ll often find a dragon holding a golden pearl in their mouths or claws. Myths and legends often originate around rare objects, and these golden pearl legends are no different. Golden-colored pearls are extremely rare and valuable, and up until a few years ago, golden pearls could only be found in the South Sea at a very steep price. Until the creamy-gold cultivated Edison pearls emerged about a decade ago.
What Are Edison Pearls? Edison pearls are the brainchild of Weijian Zhan. His company, Grace Pearls, worked in collaboration with the Zhejiang University for years to develop a new cultivation process that helps them grow almost perfectly round, high-quality real pearl jewelry in large sizes – with a wide range of exquisite colors, including gold. Recently, they brought us yet another breakthrough: after nine years of research and development, the first batch of natural dark golden Edison pearls was harvested in November 2018.
