{Holiday Gift Giveaway #1} Pearl Paradise Akoya Pearl Necklace Giveaway

I've never really been a pearl girl. I tend to think of old ladies with their strands of rather large, rather fake-looking pearl necklaces, or 50's housewives. Now, thanks to Pearl Paradise, I know how ignorant I was! Now I think of exotic places, the magical find (in a mussel or oyster), and I know that pearls can be made into some of the most beautiful, fashionable pieces of jewelry in the world!

At Pearl Paradise, you'll find many different styles of pearl pendants, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, and matching sets! It's one of the best places to shop online, and there's something for everyone in all price ranges.

You can also learn a lot at Pearl Paradise, too. Did you know there are many different types of pearls? The pearls in the gorgeous bracelet above are Tahitian Pearls, very beautiful and rare.

I love that there are so many different and unique shapes and colors, too. Ooh, check out this golden pearl:

PearlParadise.com even has an amazing educational section that covers pearl quality, grading, types, history, and care. This really impresses me. They are serious about what they do and want their customers to be informed and happy with their purchases!

I fell in love with this Baroque Tahitian Pearl Pendant on a Silk Cord the moment I saw it!

Isn't it lovely? I think having the pearl as the focal point is wonderful - it makes me feel as if this pearl is extra special. I imagine it being priceless and fought over by pirates...

Yes, I have quite an imagination. ;-) But it adds to the fun of finding and wearing a gorgeous piece of jewelry, doesn't it?

My pendant arrived in a lovely black gift case. Included in the package was an envelope with information on how to care for the pearls and clean them. They even included two pearl tissues and a microfiber pearl cloth to clean them with! I also received an appraisal certificate - my pendant (notice I keep saying "my pendant"? I'm enjoying saying that...) was appraised at $600.00! It's available at Pearl Paradise for $120.00. Find out how they can afford to sell their pearls at such inexpensive prices here.




I found my pearl necklace to be just as beautiful as shown in the photo above and I'm very happy with my experience! I like jewelry that is simple yet elegant, so this fits me perfectly. I would recommend PearlParadise.com without hesitation, and think that husbands and boyfriends would do well to heed my advice and head over to Pearl Paradise immediately!
