PearlParadise.com Introduces Extremely Rare New Metallic Freshadama, Freshwater Pearls

Beginning Today the Perfectly Round, Intensely Metallic Pearls Are Only
Available in the U.S. via the PearlParadise.com Web Site
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Once again, PearlParadise.com President and CEO Jeremy Shepherd has pushed the
envelope to provide the most rare and highest-quality pearls of any other online
seller. The new, truly round, Metallic Freshadama freshwater pearls are
exceptional and look unlike any other pearls on the market. Beginning today, the
rare exotic pearls are only available in the U.S. via the PearlParadise.com web
site. Varying in size from 6.5 to 9.5 mm, these rare pearls range in color from
gold to copper and exhibit an intense, natural metallic luster.

The only pearl retailer to bring these beautiful pearls to the U.S. in such
great quantity, PearlParadise.com (www.pearlparadise.com) has partnered with one
of the largest producers of freshwater pearls in China to separate out the rare
metallics. Chinese workers spend hours, using their keen eye, to collect these
pearls, which are culled from harvests at hundreds of different farms.
PearlParadise.com`s staff then hand-selects each pearl in order to create unique
jewelry to offer its consumers.

"These pearls represent state-of-the-art culturing, despite the fact that no one
knows how they are created, and I am glad we are able to bring beautiful pearls,
with luster similar to the top-of-the-line Japanese and Tahitian pearls, to the
public for the first time," said Shepherd. "At prices a tenth of their saltwater
counterparts, we expect our first offering of Metallic Freshadamas to sell out
quickly."

In November, PearlParadise.com will begin a pre-Christmas promotion of 500
Metallic Freshadama strands - the first time these pearls are available to the
public. These amazing metallic round strands will be priced at between $190 and
$1,200 depending on the pearl size. Once the initial offering sells out,
Shepherd intends to put 200 strands on sale a month until supplies are depleted.
