Val Smith's silver medal in the singles was the only medal won by the Black Jacks at last year's Commonwealth Games in Delhi.
Edwards took a rest from the Black Jacks after World Bowls in Christchurch in 2008 and was enticed back into the team after the limited success in Delhi.
She responded by skipping the pair and four to gold medals in Adelaide to lift the confidence of the New Zealand team before next year's World Bowls in the same city.
The New Zealand pair beat the Philippines combination of Ainie Knight and Rosita Bradborn 24-9 in a one-sided final.
The partnership of world No 3 Val Smith and world No 1 Jo Edwards were far too good for their Philippines counterparts.
New Zealand started with a three on the first end, with Knight and Bradborn picking up four shots over the next three ends.
But in a decisive point in the match, Smith and Edwards picked up a five and turned a one-shot deficit into a four-shot lead.
From that point, the Philippines was only able to manage a further five shots for the remainder of the match, while the New Zealanders piled on 16 shots.
After Smith and Edwards picked up a three on the 16th end, Philippines skip Bradborn conceded.
Edwards was understandably rapt with the tournament and also impressed with the improvement in the level and depth of the competition.
"We were too good today, but I have been playing at this level for 12 years and the improvement in the so called minnows has been fantastic," Edwards said.
The New Zealand skip also praised her lead.
"Val was awesome against the Aussies yesterday; her drawing today was sensational. She is the perfect lead," Edwards said.
The women's four of Leanne Curry, Genevieve Baildon, Jan Khan, and Edwards won New Zealand's third gold medal of the championships when they beat Australia 17-15 in a nail-biter that went down to the last end.
In a tightly contested battle, the scores were tied on four occasions: 4-4 after three ends, 8-8 after six, 13-13 after 14 and 15-15 on the penultimate end.
With the wind playing havoc and the scores level, the final end was always going to be difficult.
New Zealand was holding two shots before the final bowl. Skip Karen Murphy's drive feathered the jack but was unable to knock it out of the rink or take the shot.
The men's pair of Richard Girvan and Danny Delany won New Zealand's first gold medal on Saturday when they beat Australia's Brett Wilkie and Mark Casey 17-16 in a cliffhanger.
The Australians got a flying start with a five on the opening end.
The Black Jacks fought back over the next six ends to lead 8-7 before Australia broke away to the biggest margin of the match to lead 16-8 after 14 of the 18 ends.
The New Zealand pair collected three shots over the next two ends to close the gap to five shots, 11-16, with just two ends left.
They put the pressure on Australia by scoring three on the penultimate end.
New Zealand held one on the final end when Girvan's temperament was tested.
He responded with a weighted shot that pushed the jack to the edge of the rink to give New Zealand two shots and a measure.
Casey's final bowl was wide and heavy and the umpire's measure gave the game to New Zealand 17-16.
The Australian men's four of Mark Berghofer, Mark Casey, Nathan Rice and Aron Sherriff broke away to an 11-shot margin on the 13th end to lead 21-10.
The Black Jacks team of Tony Grantham, Delany, Ali Forsyth, and Girvan responded and shortened the gap to five shots on the 16th end.
But a two on the penultimate end to Australia sealed the game and the Black Jacks conceded.
