Freshadama Vs Edison

[Alipearl]

Hello guys. Such a pleasure to find this site. I feel blessed that I've been saved from the deep, dark, murkey waters of an innocent pearl's environment! Knowledge is power!
Please could anyone advise me if a Freshadama 8.5mm-9mm natural white necklace is on Parr with an Edison natural white 10mm+ in terms of quality, luster and surface. They are very similar in price and I'm torn to decide which to choose. Bigger is not always better! But Edison reviews are very complimentary as with Freshadama.

Which would you buy and why?

Welcome to the forum, Alipearl!

Freshadama is a term specific to Pearl Paradise. The pearls that are considered Freshadama by Pearl Paradise will be of a high quality. The quality of “Edison“ pearls will span a bigger range. Both can be equally beautiful when considering the higher quality range. You can set up a virtual appointment with PP to see what they have in stock and get a better look at the pearls you are considering. Have fun with your search and come back to show us what you’ve found!

This is EXCELLENT advise.

Freshadama are tissue nucleated (all nacre). Edisons are bead nucleated.

Freshadamas will not be 100% round, if that matters to you (because they are not bead nucleated.)

Here’s an example of some FW pearls I own all from Pearl Paradise. The strand is a Freshadama. Very round to the eye. The studs are metallic FW, and the pendant is a bead nucleated Edison, very round. They are all pink, but will give you an idea.
