Giveaway through Mom's Most Wanted

Because of the great feedback we received during our first giveaway, we've decided to do another one. This time, we're giving away two baroque Tahitian pearl bracelets through Mom's Most Wanted. Here's a picture of the two bracelets we're giving away:





Why are we giving away two bracelets at the same time? To put it simply, we wanted this to be a parent-child type of thing -- one for mommy, and one for her child. It doesn't matter if it's a son or daughter, as Tahitian pearls are great for either sex.

So what are you waiting for? Head on over to Mom's Most Wanted and join the giveaway! As of this writing, we've received 132 entries since 2/12, and I'm sure we're going to receive more as we edge towards the giveaway deadline of 2/26.

Catching up

It's been a rough past few weeks for me with a lot of things happening at the same time. But never fear! We've been having a lot of fun while being busy.

So what have I been up to? For starters, we've added a TON of new Tahitian pearl jewelry on our website. New pendants, rings, strands, and earrings!

Also, lot of people have been blogging about us lately and we would like to take this time to thank all of them. We'd like to specifically name them, but that'll be for another post. :)

We've also changed a few things on the site to reflect the upcoming Spring and Summer seasons.

And speaking of new things...

@valdezign, one of my cool Twitter friends, made me a shirt that I received last Wednesday:



If you want one of your own, follow him on Twitter and order one. Thanks @valdezign! :)

Tahitian guitarist's Hawaiian music album song nominated for Grammy Award

Tahiti Presse is reporting that a song composed and performed by Tahitian Florent Atem is included in one of five albums nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Hawaiian Music Album.

It turns out that this isn't Florent Atem's first time being nominated for a Grammy Award. The mainly self-taught musician is also the first Tahitian to be nominated for a Grammy in 2006. Florent has also released a solo album called Dreamtown in 2005, and has realeased 4 other albums with his sister, Carole Atem. The two regularly perform in Tahiti and have also performed in Hawaii alongside local Hawaiian musicians such as Henry Kapono and John Cruz.

For more information about Carole and Florent Atem, visit their site at www.cfatem.com.

A beautiful example of Chocolate/Mocha Pearls

Continuing on the theme I started yesterday, I came across a stunning piece of jewelry made by my friend from Maui, Jonara Blu. While they're not Tahitian pearls (they're the freshwater variety), they're a beautiful example of how chocolate (or in this case, mocha-toned) pearls can be made into fine pieces of art that you can wear.

At $72.00, I think it's a great find and an absolute steal!
