Pearls for Mom

By

*This giveaway has ended. Thanks to all who entered! Congratulations to comment #248!!*

I recently had the chance to review a strand of pearls thanks to Pearl Distributors!

A few facts about Pearl Distributors …
Pearl Distributors offers amazing pearl jewelry. Their site is easy to navigate to find beautiful pieces such as pearl necklaces, pearl earrings, Akoya pearls, and even black Tahitian pearls!

Family oriented rather than impersonal: We are a family run business and take a personal interest in each customer to make sure they get exactly what they’re looking for.

Custom designs: Sometimes you want something that nobody else has! We accept custom requests and make pearl strands in any length, type, or color combination for our customers.

Price: We get pearls direct from pearl farms in China, French Polynesia, Japan and the South Pacific and sell directly to the public without the expense of a retail store, so pass on the savings to our customers. Our jewelry is sold at more than 80% less than its retail value. So a man can buy a pearl necklace valued at $1500 as a gift for his wife and only pay just over $300 for it!

My thoughts …
The black pearl necklace is beautiful! If you have only ever had or seen white pearls, you will find these black pearls to be stunning. I wasn’t sure how much wear I could get out of them but I have found myself wearing them with my sweaters or blouses to work. Why not? I feel like a million bucks wearing them so if that gets me through another long work day then all the better! I have had Little Dude get his hand around them before I could stop him. Thankfully their quality lives up to that of a super strong eight month old baby and I still have a beautiful strand of pearls and not a baggie of pearls! If a necklace can stand up to that, then it meets my quality standards for sure!

NOTE: I was sent a pearl necklace in support this review. No other compensation was received. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.

  14. I really like the Quality Black Tahitian Cultured Pearl Pendant. If I win these pearls it would go to my mom. She almost last her life a few months ago from a bad accident and still recovering. I think she needs to be reminded that we love her and hang in there.

  16. I would love to pair this with the AA+ Quality 7-7.5mm Black Akoya Cultured Pearl Earrings. I would probably give this to my mom because she raised 4 girls; not an easy task.

    Honestly they would be for me. We are a family of 6 with a newborn baby boy (only 16 days). We do okay with $$ but we definitely do not spend on extras. I do not think I own a single piece of real jewelry but my wedding ring. This would be a great surprise to finally have something for me.
