HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE – MUST HAVES – Pure Pearls

GIFT IDEA – PURE PEARLS
There’s a saying that every woman should have pearls, in one form or another. When I was 12 and in high school I got a pair of pearl earrings while on a class trip in Florida. I loved those earrings, and have no idea what happened to them. I like good jewelry but only versatile jewelry that can be worn all of the time. I wear a pair of diamond earrings that my husband gave me in one hole in my ears and have been looking for the right pair of earrings to wear in the other, something that would look good with anything. In the midst of my search I received an offer to try a pair of pearl earrings from Pure Pearls.
About Pure Pearls
Pure Elegance. Pure Luxury. Pure Value.
Our philosophy is simple! Pure Pearls offers high quality, fine pearl jewelry at exceptional discount prices. Our team of experts bring to you the top 3% of our exclusive harvests. By sourcing pearls straight from the pearl farms, we cut the middleman and bring incredible wholesale prices to our customers without sacrificing quality. Because our customers are so happy with their purchases, we receive a high percentage of repeat customers and incredible advertising by word-of-mouth.
I received a set of 9-10mm Freshwater Elite lavender pearl earrings. They arrived in a velvet box accompanied by a certificate of GIA appraisal. I was surprised to find that the color of the earrings was almost identical to the color of shown on the website, a light pinkish lavender. The posts are of 14K gold, something important to a girl like me that once had her ears get infected from posts made of cheap metal. They go great with jeans, my work clothes and dress clothes. I have received numerous compliments about them. I love them and wear them every day.
The selection of on the Pure Pearls website is astounding. They offer several types of pearls including Akoya, Tahitian, Freshwater and South Sea. They carry every type of pearl jewelry including necklaces, earrings, pendants, bracelets, cufflinks, clasps and rings. They also offer loose pearls as well as custom strands you can design yourself. The website is easy to navigate. If you don’t know much about pearls (like me) you’ll appreciate the section of pearl information and education. I didn’t know that pearls need moisture, did you? Pricing is clearly marked, along with the retail price you might see the item for elsewhere. I looked at some pearls in the mall for comparison and the Pure Pearls pricing is much lower.
If you’re looking to gift yourself or someone else a little something special, consider pearls. No holiday required.
WIN IT!
ONE winner will receive a Beauti Control travel kit and a set of Avon True Glow body lotion and shower gel.
