Pure Pearls Freshwater Pearl Bracelet {Review & Giveaway}

{This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations, ginette4!}

When it comes to gift-giving and the times of the year when customers shop for flowers, jewelry, and more, the fall months probably don't immediately jump to mind. The holidays aren't quite here and Mother's Day has already passed, so who should be shopping for something beautiful and meaningful this month?

Everyone, that's who.

I don't know about you, but having a surprise bouquet arrive would brighten my day immensely. Or, even better, for something that would last for much longer (long enough to be passed down through generations, in fact), finding a box from Pure Pearls is something that is sure to make nearly any woman swoon with joy.

Since 2003 PurePearls.com has offered superior fine pearl jewelry at up to 80% below traditional brick and mortar jewelry store prices. Each piece of jewelry is custom made to order in the USA by a skilled bench jeweler and their obsession about offering only the finest, most lustrous pearl jewelry comes through in each and every piece.

After experiencing the classic beauty of Pure Pearls this spring with a gorgeous Freshwater Pearl Solitaire Pendant, I had pretty high expectations on the quality and beauty of their pearl bracelets. After all, if a single pearl could be as eye-catching and attractive as it was, a strand of them together would need to be downright stunning in order to compare.

When I saw the White Freshwater Pearl Bracelet 7.0 - 8.0 mm in pictures, I was pretty sure that it was not going to disappoint...

...and when it arrived and I was able to see it in person, that thought was more than confirmed. The AA+ quality, the delicate-but-sturdy clasp, the shine off of each individual round pearl... what more could a girl ask for?

Arriving in their signature black box, Pure Pearls has found yet another way to offer freshwater pearls in a way that is both striking and simple while being utterly classic. This white pearl bracelet measures 7½" in length and comes with your choice of 14K white or yellow gold filigree fish-hook clasp. The overall look is feminine and stylish while still being modern and chic!

Putting these pearls on, I had a slight difficulty hooking the pretty clasp with one hand, but after a few attempts or a little help, I had them adorning my wrist and shining in the light.

I found that the bracelet is large enough to be noticed and grab attention but not too big or flashy that I would feel self-conscious wearing it. Instead, it is able to add a classic, polished look to any outfit - from a fancy dress to a sweater and jeans - and strike just the right balance of exquisite and casual. I love it!

Available in five great colors, the hardest part about choosing this Freshwater Pearl Bracelet from PurePearls.com is selecting between the white, pink, lavender, black or multi-color options. Each one retails for $73, which is a huge savings compared to the $285 retail price tag. In fact, this bracelet came complete with a certified appraisal stating that it is valued at $365, so purchasing it for $73 really is quite the bargain!

With savings like these on all of their products, browsing Pure Pearls' selection of only the finest pearl necklaces, earrings, pendants, rings and matching pearl jewelry sets really does allow you to purchase something affordable without sacrificing the quality that you (or your recipient) deserves. You just can't go wrong with the elegance, sophistication and classic timelessness of pearls!

And, thanks to the generosity of PurePearls.com, one person will be able to show off the beauty of this great bracelet (or give an amazing gift), because...
