It has been a golden (South Sea) month!

Back in late March we mentioned that we had added a new bunch of golden South Sea strands to inventory. These weren’t your every day round classic strands, they were unique, circled and free formed baroque strands. We listed around 20 strands on the site staggered over a two week period and watched them disappear nearly as quickly. Gold has been popular this past month!

After realizing that our baroque golden strand page was down to only two pieces, we’ve decided to bring in more strands.  Over the next week we will be adding them to the website. A quick sneak peak of a few is just below!

Baroque Gold South Sea Pearls

We won!

Back in February Jeremy posted about the trip he took circling the pearl world shooting film in China, Japan, Tahiti and a host of other exotic locations. The first finished short film was posted here on the blog.

We decided to submit the short film to the International Family Film Festival and were amazed when it was selected as a finalist for short documentaries!

Just this past weekend the festival took place and WE WON!

The Power is Out at Pearl Paradise:(

It’s a bit of a Manic Monday at Pearl Paradise this morning! It seems that a transformer blew during our little rainstorm last night and power is completely out in our office building and for most of our city block.

We are standing by to fire up the phones and computers are soon as the city restores the juice, so don’t worry about all those Mother’s Day pearls! We will be operational soon!

Mother’s Day Specials

We have also put together a collection of special items just for Mom! We’ve selected golden South Sea pearls, fireball pearls, freshwater, Tahitian and even a few akoya pieces with discounts of up to 50% for the month of May!

A line up of natural pearls!

We were doing a clean up of our pearl photo files and came across this gem today! We shot these natural pearls nearly three years ago for some project that we can no longer recall.

For those in the know, you’ll find natural abalone pearls, giant clam pearls, conch pearls, pearls from the Pteria sterna, penn pearls and more. We just felt that this photo was too cool not to share!
