Holiday Extravaganza #5: Pearl Paradise Freshwater Pearl Necklace Review and Giveaway

I have always loved jewelry and have many wonderful pieces that I hope to pass down to Kaelyn one day. One thing I was missing for the longest time though, were pearls. Pearls are a timeless piece of jewelry that have been worn for years and will continue to be worn for years to come. They are truly a classic piece of jewelry...one that compliments almost any outfit. Whether you're in jeans and a sweater, or in a dress...a strand of pearls looks fantastic!

Pearl Paradise is an online company that has been around for nearly 10 years. They are the world's largest online pearl company and offer high quality pearls at 80% off retail prices. Not only will you find great prices and the finest in pearl jewelry, but also terrific service. They offer a 90 day money back guarantee and assistance with anything you may need. With the large variety of pearl jewelry to choose from, any item from Pearl Paradise would make a fantastic gift this Christmas!!

Pearl Paradise was kind enough to send me their 7.0-8.0 mm White Freshwater Pearl Necklace!
It's absolutely stunning! This necklace is composed of 7.0-8.0 mm freshwater pearls, a very popular size. It's made of the highest quality freshwater pearls features nearly perfect shape and and a sharp reflective luster. It comes in two grades, AAA or AA+. You can also pick from two sizes. I chose the 16 inch strand with a 14 karat white gold clasp. They also have the choice of a 14 karat yellow gold clasp as well as an 18 inch strand. What I really liked and appreciated about this particular pearl necklace was that each pearl is individually knotted on twin silk. Having a toddler pulling at me all day, and one who's fascinated with jewelry, it gives me piece of mind that if it were to break for some reason, all of the pearls wouldn't scatter all over and potentially get lost.

I was also very impressed with the way it was presented. Every piece comes in a beautiful box that's very elegant, and at the same time, helps to keep your piece of jewelry safe. It is showcased in a way that would make this a truly remarkable gift this holiday season. They even come with a pearl care kit (including care instructions and a polishing cloth) and an appraisal. Mine is valued at $900 and is sold for just $120 on their website. That is a huge savings!!

I had fun browsing their website and looking through all of the great pieces they offer! Whether you're looking for pearl earrings, a necklace, bracelet or something else...they have it all! I absolutely love their White Freshwater Pearl Bracelet as well!

Buy It: You can purchase the 7.0-8.0 mm White Freshwater Pearl Necklace for $120 on the Pearl Paradise website.
