Hi Everybody! 

They’re hereeee! We’re proud to present our gorgeous new selection of rare Tahitian Drop Necklaces and Tahitian Baroque Multi-colors; and what a selection we have for you!! Ranging from smooth, Sky Blue pearls positively glowing with Orient, to the dramatic and daring layouts featuring Black, Copper and Silvery-White Tahitian pearls juxtaposed to create striking and eye-catching designs, there is something for everyone in our latest collection, at price points that can hardly be believed- we checked, twice.

Comparable Tahitian Drop Necklaces- at the few vendors currently offering these heavenly strands- are running close to $2,000.00-$3,000.00 each! So, we priced ours at about $850.00… Yes, I know- we’re terrible, awful, price-gouging monsters! J You know you love us! Below is a photo of my absolute favorite Tahitian Drop Necklace- Sky Blue and Silver with heavy Orient- the pearls glow purple! I’ll be a very sad Pearl Specialist when this necklace finds a home- these colors are so unique and rare in this intensity that when pearls like these come across your desk, you want to hide them away forever and ever in your ‘personal’ collection, but I’m afraid my personal stash is getting a teensy bit on the large side… Anyways- Enjoy!!!

Hi Everybody-

It’s always amazing to me how quickly one year turns to the next; although time remains a constant, I know that my perception of its passage increases in speed along with my age… Such is the way of it. With another year about to pass away and we begin turning to the next chapter in our lives, many of us will take a moment and pause to reflect on life, relationships and the events of the past year in that small space of time where old meets new, and the page has yet to be turned.

For the last three and a half years that I have headed the Production Office at Pure I have met more than my fair share of wonderful people and seen some stunning jewelry- indeed, it’s been an easy slice of time, working here…The customers-turned-friends, the letters, the Art, and the joy of creation: bringing the elements of Nature, design and vision together into a single finished work of art… I think of all these things, and I wanted to say Thank You. To each and every one of you- working with you has been a privilege and a pleasure, and I am very much mindful that without you, there would be no Pure, and my little world would be that much greyer.

January, 2010 is bringing with it many exciting changes- changes that Pure has needed, and changes that many of you have suggested. PurePearls.com has been sold (!!) to a very fine gentleman from Kentucky named Bruce Turner, whom I’d like to take a moment to introduce to you. A former investment banker and family man, Bruce decided to take on the many challenges of owning a small online business and I am very pleased to have him here! The transaction took place in early November, and was quite a big surprise for all involved. Amanda is doing very well- we definitely keep in touch- but she did decide that it was time for her to move on from Pure. Bruce has some exciting new ideas for the website, and we are looking forward to a total site redesign!

In the next coming months you can expect to see a new, improved website, featuring bright, crisp, new pictures and innovative new jewelry selections in addition to our long-standing Classics. A more convenient shopping experience, greater user accessibility and an emphasis on updated graphics and layout are all features that we consider top priorities- and again, I’d very much like your ideas, thoughts and critiques as we begin a new chapter for PurePearls.com! My door (or phone, or email!) is always open, and I look forward to hearing from each and every one of you as we  begin a new chapter and a brand new Year at Pure. Best Holiday Wishes to each and every one of you, and I’m sure we’ll talk soon! J

Very Sincerely,

Ashley McNamara

Sales VP; Production Office Manager

Hi Everybody!

I have some very exciting news about our 6.5-7.0mm Akoya pearls; as of today, PurePearls.com will be focusing exclusively on our new line of very fine, very lustrous, simply stunning Japanese Akoya pearls! Our new Japanese Akoya line is virtually spotless, featuring crisp, razor-sharp luster and gorgeous coloration that is oh-so drool worthy (see the pictures below taken with my Dinky Digital™ today for color examples).

Our continual desire to provide a wide range of pearl jewelry choices for all of our customers has led us in this new direction; the lack of availability of high quality Chinese Akoya in this size range, as well as multiple environmental disasters for Chinese pearl farms for the past few years, combined to help make this decision an easy one. You may notice a slight price increase due to the upgrade which we do regret, however I think at the end of the day, you’ll be totally, completely satisfied with the quality and beauty of every strand of Japanese Akoya pearls purchased through PurePearls.com. Enjoy! 

Hi Everybody!

I haven’t posted any custom work in a long time, but I’ve finally finished a very special project that has been in the works for awhile and I thought it would be fun to share the results. Presenting the Freshwater Cluster Necklace! Ta Daa! We hand-selected, drilled and mounted 30 white Freshwater Pearls- AAA Quality of course- ranging from 6.0mm up to 9.0mm. Each pearl was hand-stationed on the 18-Inch open-link chain with solid 14KY jump-rings which cut down on labor (no soldering) and has an added bonus: she can customize the placement of each pearl on the chain herself should she desire to do so at a later time. Pretty neat, huh?

Also later on down the road when she’s ready it will be easy to send the necklace back to us to add more pearls- mostly 8.0-9.0mms, with some 7.0-8.0mms mixed in- to make the design appear absolutely bursting with pearls! I hope you all enjoy the photo- I tried to post both the original sketches I did (complete with notes) as well as the finished piece, but alas, I am tech savvy, but not that tech savvy!
