An End To Valentine's Day Gift Giving Woes

Men everywhere are starting to get nervous, and it’s not because they’re worried about buying the wrong snacks for their Super Bowl party. Valentine’s Day is just weeks away, and the pressure to find the perfect gift for their wife or girlfriend can be intolerable.

Thanks to Terry Shepherd, the owner of the ThePearlOutlet.com, anxious gift givers don’t have to worry any longer.

While most of us find thrills no further than the backyard barbeque or during the morning commute to the office, Shepherd regularly travels 6500 miles over 72 hours to reach the furthest corners of the earth in search of a rare jewel: The perfect pearl. Along his journey, he risks life and limb to ensure that his customers pay the lowest price possible for the world’s finest pearls.

In order to unearth the world’s highest quality pearl, Shepherd—or “The Pearl Hunter” as he’s known throughout the industry—goes to a place where others dare not go—the southeast corner of China—and meets the pearl farmers on their own turf. Often, he travels down dirt roads for hundreds of miles without seeing a face before he reaches his destination. Like their gemstone cousins, pearls command their share of mystique. The hunt for the perfect pearl involves as much intrigue and peril as the search for any highly prized gem that will soon lend grace to the neck, wrist, or earlobe.

The simple difference? Rarity. Pearls—unlike diamonds or sapphires—must be cultured inside a living organism. Environmental conditions, water temperature, and a multitude of other uncontrollable variables must all be perfect in order to produce a pearl worthy of Shepherd’s expertly trained eye.

As many on the Hollywood “A” list have discovered, ThePearlOutlet.com has become the premier source for the highest grade pearls available on the globe. After buying a $35 dollar strand of pearls in a Beijing market seven years ago, Shepherd returned to the U.S. and discovered that the necklace was worth over $500. It wasn’t long before he was in pearl business full-time and had developed the premier online pearl website, offering exceptional quality that his customers demanded—at prices far below what top jewelry stores were commanding.

For Valentine’s Day, the person looking for the perfect gift can find pearls available at ThePearlOutlet.com at a variety of price and quality levels. A pair of saltwater Akoya pearl earrings starts as low as $25, while an 18-inch black Tahitian pearl necklace can be found for $3200—thousands less than a retail jeweler’s price.

The convenience (orders ship within 24 hours), low-risk (a 60-day, no hassle return policy), and low prices (up to 80% off retail), all make ThePearlOutlet.com the perfect answer to the timeless Valentine’s Day gift dilemma.
