Mother's Day Gift Guide-Pearl Paradise Review and Giveaway

I love Pearls.  I have just never owned my own necklace.  I remember when I was younger my mother having this red velvet box that contained the most beautiful pearls I had ever seen.  They were an off white color.  Well recently I came across the Pearl Paradise website when I was looking for Mother's Day Gift Guide giveaway products and contacted them.  I was actually surprised they answered and offered a review AND giveaway.   They have gorgeous pearls.  Necklaces, Earrings, Bracelets, Rings, and Even Pearl Sets, just stunning.  

A Decade of Growth
Founded in 1996 and brought online in 2000, Pearl Paradise has grown into the world's largest online pearl company, with 2006 sales topping $20 million. With a custom-built, 1,400-cubic-foot vault filled with pearls, we offer a selection of pearls unlike any other pearl seller, online or off. Our commitment to offering prices 80 percent below retail has accelerated our growth.

With more than 100,000 satisfied customers to date, we have benefited greatly by word-of-mouth advertising. Our commitment to quality, customer service, and unbeatable pricing and selection has helped us become the Internet’s premier source of pearl jewelry.

A Trusted Name
The reputation we have built based on the quality of our merchandise has attracted the attention of journalists around the world. We have been blessed with glowing articles in The Wall Street Journal, Entrepreneur Magazine, Investor’s Business Daily, and Inc. Magazine, to name just a few.

The pearl and jewelry industry has followed our growth and featured us in respected industry publications like Modern Jeweler, Jewellery News Asia, and JCK.

Shop Online or Offline
While more than 99 percent of our business is conducted online, we offer appointments for our local clientele in our luxurious Los Angeles showroom. We offer only one appointment per day, and these are often booked weeks in advance. However, no appointments are available mid-November through early January. With thousands of pearl strands for clients to see, we insist on giving our undivided attention. This unique experience has created a following of celebrities and pearl connoisseurs who are regulars in our showroom.

Team of Experts
At Pearl Paradise, every associate is a world-class pearl expert. Every team member is required to complete the Gemological Institute of America's pearl diploma program. Then we train our team in pearl grading, selection, matching, and drilling.

Pearl Paradise allowed me to review a Black Freshwater Pearl Necklace retail price $600.00 Pearl Pearl Paradise price $189.00.  Appraised @ $945.00!!!  So that's quite a discount Pearl Paradise offers.  Where else can you find a deal like that??  They have quite a selection of Pearl Necklaces however.  This is the one they sent me.

My gorgeous pearls arrived in a very elegant black case.  It came with Pearl Care to keep my pearls looking brand new and an authentic appraisal.  I just love them.  Now this is something Mom would really love for Mother's Day and with the discount Pearl Paradise offers it won't put you in the poor house either.  You can purchase your own pearls here or you can win your own Black Freshwater Pearl Necklace, that's right Pearl Paradise is being really good to one of my readers.  All you have to do is visit Pearl Paradise and tell me which pearls (Necklace, bracelet, ring, earrings) you would like.  Then tell me something about that piece of jewelery.  (This entry must be done for other entries to count)
