Pearl Paradise ~Classic Elegance and Affordability!

I still retain the lovely memory of tiptoeing into my parents' bedroom to run my hands lovingly over the velvety surface of a green clam shell shaped hinged case which always sat upon my mother's dresser. I would slowly open the tightly clasped velvet shell to reveal a pearl necklace and earrings nestled upon the white satin lining and peer at these smooth gems of the sea with wonder and admiration! I believe my mother wore those pearls on her wedding day, regardless to me they were the pinnacle of elegance and I still find myself drawn to the classic and classy strands of pearls women sport at formal functions and casual dos.

Pearl Paradise allows every woman the opportunity to drape themselves in the quality, iridescent spheres coveted by so many throughout history, by offering superior pearls at affordable prices! From the most popular classic Akoya pearls, the most exotic, sought-after Tahitians or Freshadama pearls--the highest quality freshwater variety--you can find your favourite pearls at prices you will not be able to resist!

I was sent a radiant pair of 7.0-8.0 mm black AAA Freshwater Pearl Earrings to adorn my dainty earlobes. Pearls have a way of making a woman stand a little taller, feel stronger, and more confident, their quintessential rarity and beauty defines us! This is how they made me feel the moment I slipped them on. These Freshwater pearls are coloured permanently to recreate the exotic look of Tahitian pearls and in AAA quality the pearls are truly round with a bright and reflective luster. I found mine to be of top quality for a freshwater pearl type!

Freshwater Pearls are the most common type however Pearl Paradise also exclusively offers the rare perfection of Freshadama freshwater pearls which are round and have a higher luster than even the finest Akoya pearls!

The AAA Freshwater pearl earrings are mounted on 14 karat studs. If you are like I was unsure of the grading system for pearl quality here's a little lesson--Pearl 101!! Pearls are organic products from living creatures and so are graded according to certain standards based on: nacre {the natural substance secreted by the mollusk}, luster, surface, shape, color and size. You can learn more about pearls their history, and their quality at PearlParadise.com as well you will receive an appraisal document to accompany your purchase!

On a Green note! Pearl Paradise is in partnership with Kamoka Farms, a Tahitian Pearl farm in French Polynesia employing the most ecological and sustainable practices available to them! Kamoka farms is one of the only French Polynesian pearl farms to recycle local mother of pearl to create nuclei for pearl grafting. Oysters are cleaned by the nibbling of local fish, and the energy used at the farm is almost entirely solar and wind power. Kamoka is dedicated to fair labour practices and fair trade!
