Mother’s Day Gift Guide: Pearls from Pearl Paradise {Review + Giveaway}

There are some gifts that are timeless and in my opinion, pearls are one of those gifts. They can be heirlooms and are perfect for many occasions from casual to weddings.

I had never owned a set of genuine freshwater pearls until I was sent an absolutely stunning set from Pearl Paradise, the leading freshwater pearl website online. I chose a set of 7.5-8.0 mm black pearls on an 18 inch strand with a white gold clasp. They looked beautiful online but even more gorgeous in person!

You may be wondering, what is a Freshwater Pearl?

Freshwater pearls differ from salt water pearls in that they are more plentiful, grow in a wide variety of colors from classic off white to pastel shades and are more versatile. Freshwater pearls are often regarded as being lower quality but with Pearl Paradise, they offer their freshadama collection with the highest quality of nearly perfect to perfect freshwater pearls on the market.

Are pearls expensive?

The pearls at Pearl Paradise are at awesome prices you won’t find elsewhere. The strand I got retails for $690.00 but is sold on Pearl Paradise for an amazing price of $139.00!

Pros:

Pearls from Pearl Paradise are of the highest quality. I was literally blown away at their luster and quality! I wish the pictures I took really showed off how beautiful they truly are! The pearls came with a pearl care guide, a beautiful box to store them in, a certificated of appraisal and polishing cloth. I highly recommend these absolutely stunning pearls to give your mom this Mother’s day. She will be overjoyed!

Cons:

The strand could have been a little longer in length. I got the 18 inch strand, but I wish there was a longer length.

Verdict:

Pearl Paradise is highly recommended by Saved By Grace!
