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! 

Hi Everybody!
 
Since our inception, PurePearls.com has been heavily involved in giving to various charity organizations- the ones that are nearest and dearest to our hearts deal with the children who need the most help of all! Autism, cancer treatments, speech development and diabetes are just a few of the charities and organizations that we donate or try to raise awareness of every year. We’ve added a new one to our list!
 
We are proud to announce that we’ve begun working with the Foundation for Children with atypical HUS. This amazing foundation was formed and administered by Linda Burke and her brother Steve Greene, who are trying to fund the search for a cure for aHUS. Atypical HUS is a rare genetic disorder that affects the kidneys, and children diagnosed with aHUS are at very high risk for chronic complications like kidney failure and severely high blood pressure… not much is known about this deadly disorder that can devastate the lives of children and their families, except that aHUS disorder involves mutations on a chain of proteins called factor H. Factor H contains 20 chain proteins that allow our bodies to fight infections; in aHUS patients, the last 5 of proteins in that chain do not process amino acids properly, resulting in deadly illness.
 

It was this chain of proteins that led to a “Eureka!” moment for Linda Burke and Steven Greene; they decided to contact a pearl company (Us!) to see if they could have a very special bracelet made that symbolized the 15 white (known) proteins and 5 black (unknown) proteins using Freshwater pearls. The bracelet below is the result of their brilliant idea and our collaborative efforts, and can be found on their website: atypicalhus.org. The black and white Freshwater pearl bracelets have a 14K Yellow Gold Filigree Disc clasp and a laser-engraved 14K Gold charm inscribed with aHUS. The charm bracelets retail for $295.00 each and the proceeds go directly to funding research for a cure for aHUS, and we’d like to take a moment to urge everyone to follow the link to the atypicalhus.org website and either purchase a bracelet or donate today to help Mrs. Burke and Mr. Greene in their search for a cure.

Hi Everybody! 

Summer is nearly here, and with it- Wedding Season! I know, I know- brides get married all the time, but with the endless blue summer skies, greenery, flowers and sunshine, the summer months always seem so… perfect for tying the knot. The latest custom design piece pictured below was dreamt up by one of our lovely brides to be (in June- congratulations, Mary!), and it turned out so lovely that I’d thought I’d share with you. The double-strand pearl bracelet consists of our gorgeous Elite Collection Freshwater pearls, 7.0-8.0mm, White with a Subtle Ivory Overtone and very crisp, sharp luster; she chose to finish the bracelet using our Diamond Double Figure Eight clasp in 18K Gold, which I think lends a very Old-World, Victorian-era feel to the whole piece. Enjoy!     

Hi Everybody! 

I haven’t done the Strand of the Month feature in a little while- the Holidays were just crazy, and those fabulous recent celebrity sightings stole my attention. However, I came across a strand of AMAZING White South Sea pearls that defy words, and I had to share them with you. The full 18-Inch necklace measures 9.0-12.5mm, and the pearls are AAA Quality; their Overtone can only be described as Ivory/Silver/Violet with strong Orient and Luster that looks like liquid nacre. There is minimal blemishing, and although the pearls aren’t completely flawless, I have to say this is truly the prettiest strand of South Sea pearls I have seen in about two years- this necklace literally radiates light! Enjoy!!!
