***THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. Congratulations to Amy Dee! I sent you an email. Thank you for all who entered the contest!***
This is a big one ladies. Are you ready?
It is so fun to shop at Pearl Paradise online as well. To find what you are looking for you can shop by style, type, color or price. It’s that easy! They even have a link for education, where the average consumer can learn more about pearl types, grading, history and care.
Since I didn’t know much about my gorgeous freshwater pearls, I did a little homework using their website. Taken directly from Pearl Paradise, “Freshwater pearls are best known for their whimsical shapes and wide variety of sizes and colors. The character of a freshwater pearl is found in its distinctive surface texture and the warmth of its luster. The nacre of a high-quality freshwater pearl does not typically have the glossy, metallic finish found in akoya pearls, and they are evaluated on separate quality scales. The trademark line of freshwater pearl jewelry is guaranteed to be the best in the world at Pearl Paradise.” To view the entire selection of Freshwater Pearls, go here.
This is a photo of my stunning freshwater lavender pearl earrings, valued at $180.00.
I don’t think I have to tell you how excited I am when I wear these earrings! It’s like sporting true luxury around my ears. These pearls give off that feminine shimmer and shine, which will certainly compliment any outfit. They are sturdy, perfectly shaped and simply gorgeous. And here’s the best part…
Pearl Paradise is offering one of my lucky readers the chance to win the same cultured freshwater lavender pearl earrings valued at $180.00! Unbelievable!!!
