Pearls Are A Perfect Gift For Every Woman - PearlParadise.com Review and Giveaway!

I am a firm believer that every woman should own at least one pearl necklace in their jewelry collection.  Pearls are a timeless classic that can be worn to dress up or dress down an outfit.  They are so versatile and most everything goes with them.  Last year, right before my 30th birthday bash, I was introduced to PearlParadise.com - the best place to buy pearls online in my opinion.

Last year PearlParadise.com sent me a gorgeous freshwater pearl necklace to review.  I adored this necklace and it was one of my favorite pieces.  Unfortunately over the summer when my luggage was stolen, my favorite pearl necklace was among the $6000 worth of jewelry that was inside of my stolen luggage.  This year I was so thankful when PearlParadise.com offered to let me review the exact same necklace.  I am beyond happy to have this gorgeous necklace back in my possession, I have missed it so much!

Here is what I was sent (both times):

7.5-8.0 mm White Freshwater Pearl Necklace

Item Code: FWN200

This white freshwater pearl necklace is composed of 7.5-8.0 mm freshwater pearls - the most popular size. The strand is composed of the highest quality freshwater pearls you are likely to find. They feature nearly perfect shape and matching and exhibit a sharp reflective luster.

These round (AAA) or near-round (AA+) white freshwater pearls are individually knotted on twin silk and finished with a 14-karat, white- or yellow-gold clasp.

PearlParadise.com offers gorgeous pearls to their customers at the best prices.  I did a search for this necklace online and I found several just like it but no site that could beat the price offered by PearlParadise.com.  Not only do they offer great prices and a wide selection but they also like to educate their customers on the pearls that they offer.  That way the customer can make the most informed decision regarding their pearl purchase. 

I love this video that is centered around PearlParadise.com.  The CEO of PearlParadise.com. Jeremy Shepherd shares some really important pearl facts.

The Review

Obviously, this being my second one by choice, it proves just how much I love this necklace.  I was able to select the exact specifications for my freshwater pearl necklace so that it would be just what I wanted.  I chose the color, length and clasp, which makes this pearl necklace unique to me and my style.  I chose the color white because I love the classic look of a white strand of pearls.  I chose a 16" length because I like a shorter, choker style look.  The clasp was done in white gold as opposed to yellow gold because I prefer not to wear yellow gold.

I have worn my necklace on several different occasions.  It is extremely versatile and goes with so many different outfits.  I have worn it with a nice blouse and some jeans, little black dresses, dress and business casual clothing as well as formal clothing.  I love the luster and shine and the pearls themselves are a perfect size.  Not too big and not too small.  You just can't go wrong with this pearl necklace!

My necklace came beautifully presented in an elegant box.  Each pearl piece also comes with a Certified Appraisal Certificate from a GIA Graduate that states what your pearls would be worth for insurance purposes, my necklace was appraised for $600.  Lastly each pearl purchase includes a Pearl Care Kit, complete with instructions and a polishing cloth.
