The Best Christmas Present Ever! December’s Featured Strand

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

Hi Everybody! 

Our featured strand for December is indeed a Winter Treat!  I selected one of our gorgeous White South Seas necklaces from our Christmas Blowout Sale for the feature this month; it is a spectacular strand of pearls!  Measuring 11.0-12.0mm, each pearl shimmers with Orient and an unbelievable liquid-like luster, enhanced by their light Silver Overtones.  What I love about this strand so much is that as you hold these pearls in your hands and allow your eyes to take in their luminosity, you get a sense of actually being able to peer into their depths and see light emanating from the core.  This Gem Quality strand of South Sea pearls has come all the way from the Northwestern Australian pearling territories, each pearl painstakingly collected over the years to finish a necklace worthy of royalty.  Treasures like this necklace don’t come along every day, and PurePearls.com is proud to include it in our Holiday Sale among other gems from the deep. Priced at $39,000.00.

Custom Design Gallery

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

Hi Everybody! We’ve decided to add a little something extra to our site after Christmas, and I’m so excited to tell you all about it… For years, we’ve been creating custom jewelry designs for anyone who asks, and let me just say it is one of the most pleasurable aspects of my job.  Custom design combines dreams, art and jewels- some of my very favorite things!  The only problem is I don’t get to keep the finished jewelry!  I can’t share it with all our clients!   To that end, I’ve decided to add a Picture Gallery to let everybody browse through our Custom designs and see what is possible in the world of pearl jewelry!  Along with amazing pictures, I will also add some details about exactly what goes into custom design from conception to the final glimmering result!  I hope that you all find this new addition to PurePearls.com as interesting and informative as I do! 

I just recently finished an amazing necklace for a certain client celebrating a 30th Anniversary; in our rush to get the finished piece to him on time I neglected to get a photograph of the finished necklace, but I was able to get some concept shots while we emailed back and forth about what the necklace should look like.  We used a goldsmith to bezel set the 1.00ct round Swiss Blue Topaz gemstones in 14K White Gold and solder on tiny loops so that we could string the pearls to the bezel-set stones.  The result was a gorgeous strand of 8.0-9.0mm Elite Freshwater pearls interspersed with sparkling Blue Topaz, a necklace that is couture, refined and completely one of a kind.  I can’t wait to make another one!
