"Diamonds may be forever, but pearls have been recognized as prized jewels for centuries longer than any cut stone. Almost all other gemstones are formed by mineral deposits that must be mined, cut, and polished to reveal their sparkling beauty. Pearls, on the other hand, are beautiful as they are - straight out of the mollusk. High quality pearls have an intense, brilliant luster and shiny iridescence that emanates from within the gem. For these reasons, pearls have become a symbol of purity and natural beauty."
I have always like the look and beauty of a pearl. Simple, timeless and classic-- pearls are not a fad, but everlasting.
I was beyond thrilled to be chosen to receive a pearl bracelet from Pearl Paradise! Pearl Paradise is a store founded in 1996. First a brick and mortar store, in Los Angeles they expanded their operation to online sales in 2000. With over 100,000 satisfied customers to date, Pearl Paradise is devoted to quality, customer service, and unbeatable pricing-- their selection alone is incomparable, and they are leading as the Internets premier source for pearl jewelry.
"Pearls lie not in the sunshine. If you desire one, you must dive for it."
- Chinese Proverb
I received a beautiful bracelet from Pearl Paradise. Made from fresh water pearls, my bracelet is a showstopper! Beautifully made, bright white pearls, gorgeous gold clasp-- I love it! My freshwater pearl bracelet sells through Pearl Paradise for $61.00-- through other pearl companies the same bracelet sells for over $310 dollars! That is a savings of over $249 dollars!! You could not only buy the bracelet, but with your savings, you could buy the matching earrings or necklace too! Along with my bracelet, I received a Pearl Paradise Pearl Care Kit and an appraisal. My bracelet was appraised by a GSA graduate and was appraised at a value of $525 dollars!
I like thinking of my jewelry as not only a gifts, but also investments. Pearls, gold and silver are extremely valuable-- now, I not only have something to cherish, but I also have something of worth to pass on to my daughters!
Would you like to check out Pearl Paradise for yourself? You won't be sorry-- their selection is amazing!

I learned that I like this site alot and if I was dreaming big I love to own a pearl SET,but I'd really looooove to WIN this giveaway..............thanks
I learned the following from thier website:Pearl grading is one of the most difficult aspects of pearl selection to understand. There is no officially recognized, standard system for grading pearls, except in the case of Tahitian pearls, where grading and export is controlled by the French Polynesian government. For that reason, it is important to understand the grading used by the company from which you purchase.
