Pearl Paradise {Review and Giveaway} CLOSED

**Updated at bottom with winner*

Thanks so much to all who entered!

I have always loved jewelry. When I was a little girl I remember sneaking into my mother’s jewelry box and admiring her pearls. Of all of the jewelry in that box her pearls were (and still are) my favorite! I have to admit I’ve always secretly longed for that strand of pearls, they were my grandmothers and I hope that one day I can place them in my jewelry box for my girls to admire!

Until that day comes I’ve found a perfect stand-in. I was recently introduced to a wonderful company called Pearl Paradise, a company whose mission is “making the beauty of pearls available and affordable to everyone.” I was very surprised by the large assortment of Freshwater Pearls, different sizes, different colors, there are so many to choose from! Here is a little more about Pearl Paradise from the website:

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.

I received the 7.0-8.0 Black Freshwater Pearl Stud Earrings to review. As my only experience with Pearl Earrings, prior to the pair I received from Pearl Paradise, was lusting after everyone else’s, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. When I opened the box containing the pearls I was in awe! Not only where the pearls absolutely beautiful but they were honestly spectacular in every way. As soon as I put them on I knew that taking them off would be a rare occasion.

Buy it! You can purchase all of the items mentioned above and much more at PearlParadise.com!

Now the cool part! One of my lovely readers is going to win the same pair of pearl earrings that I received to review!
