Holiday Gift Guide - Pearl Paradise - White Freshwater Pearl Necklace {Review and Giveaway} Closed


Pearl Paradise is an online retailer that offers high quality pearls at an affordable price. They have a wide variety pearls that would suit any occasion. They are ranked amongst the best when it comes to selection and affordability. Currently they sell pearls 80% below other retailers and most of their customer are from word of mouth. They also have a showroom located in Los Angeles, California where they showcase some of their beautiful pieces. But if you are not in sunny California or near the LA area you can view their wonderful pieces online at www.pearlparadise.com

My Thoughts:

The wonderful people over at Pearl Paradise gave me the opportunity to review one of their pearl necklaces. I was sent the 7.0-8.0 mm White freshwater Pearl Necklace. Let me just say that I am truly impressed with the quality of this necklace. Once I removed it from the box I immediately noticed that it had a little weight to it. This stood out for me as the pearls I already own are very light weight wise. Overall this pearl necklace is fabulous and would dress-up any regular outfit you have just sitting in your closet.

About Freshwater Pearls:

Freshwater pearls are the most common type of pearl produced today. Their unique shapes and wide variety of colors, combined with their attractive prices and charming character, have made them a favorite amongst jewelry designers, shoppers, and pearl connoisseurs alike. While they characteristically range in shape from very baroque to nearly round, the freshwater pearls we sell at Pearl Paradise are as round as they come, nearly indistinguishable from akoya in their shape. Our trademark Freshadama line of freshwater pearl jewelry is guaranteed to be the best in the world.

  164. I have always loved pearls.. they are traditional and timeless. My daughter was born in June in 2003 and at 6 years old, she is crazy about most pearls. She likes how oysters can "make" pearls and finds it all very interesting. She has fine taste and likes exotic pearls. The lavendar pearls are right up her alley. I thought that the Natural Oyster Pearl Diamond Pendant would be a dream gift to get her one day. Thanks for the chance to enter your jewelry giveaway.
