Pearl Treasure Hunt

This pearl treasure hunt has been loads of fun, but now I am closing it.

I had this contest running for several years and really enjoyed sending out a free cultured pearl jewelry set to so many lovely people, but now have decided to move on to some other form of internet adventure.

I encourage you to have lots of treasure hunts with your family. They are so easy to do and fun to put together. Sometimes I make up treasure hunts that take us all over the community or our farm. Kids love adventure and treasure hunts are a great way to live the dream of exploration.


Free Pink Pearls
Win this Pearl Set in White, Lavender, Black or Pink Pearls
(Color is my choice.)

This "Dragonflies & Pearls" photo was on this page and 3 other places on my site. For this pearl treasure hunt you didn't have to brave the cold or busy highways....just search my site in the warmth and comfort of your own place.

These are the winners who had fun playing and winning! A big thank you to you all!

Like games, huh? Play the Pearls Before Swine Game after Pearl Treasure Hunt.

Hello,

I am writing about your contest. There is a dragonfly picture on the page for a pendant with a pearl from the Persian Gulf, https://www.karipearls.com/natural-pearl-necklace.html.

Hello Kari,

I've been enjoying your site all day long, reading about all the wonderful treasures people have found and the great stories behind them. I didn't know there was a contest, so when I ran across the details, I had to go back to where I found one of your dragonflies: https://www.karipearls.com/is-this-a-pearl.html. I've seen two of them today and was wondering why the photo was there in an odd place, irrelevant to the stories. haha.. When I ran across the contest details, I felt as though I found a pearl myself. What a wonderful day it would be to find a treasure. I guess I found one in a different way. Nevertheless, I am happy about it and will anxiously await your response! You're such a wonderful person for sharing your knowledge and being so giving.

Hi Kari!

I found the second Dragonflies and Pearls photo on https://www.karipearls.com/seed-pearl-jewelry.html.

I was excited to read the article, but even more so to see the photo at the bottom of the page!

I'm hoping this is right!

Kari,

I received my pearls today, and I am in love with them! They're absolutely beautiful, and I have the perfect place to wear them this weekend! (I do middle ages reenactment/recreation, and I have an event this weekend and I plan on wearing them at the event this weekend.)

Absolutely stunning! Thank you so very very very much again.

God's blessings upon you!

Hi, I found the dragon flies and pearls on https://www.karipearls.com/faux-graduated-pearls.html. I have been enjoying your site all day.I saw the dragon flies and pearls on the page with info about faux pearls. I was laughing so about the sheep in pearls I almost missed the treasure and photo. Hope I got it right.

Thank you so much for the beautiful peach pearl set. I love them! I will wear these a lot.

Hi, I came to your site to find out how to make a pearl necklace for my young daughter. I found your site to be so much more than a how-to. What a blessing to read all of the inspiring stories and be reminded about giving. I even found that pearls are very interesting. I had no idea they have such a history and I really enjoyed learning how they are harvested. I found the dragonfly picture at https://www.karipearls.com/the-hidden-pearls.html. Even if I'm not the first, it has been worth the search to learn so many new things. Thanks for such an informative site on a subject I didn't even realize was so interesting. My husband is wondering why I'm staying up so late and why I'm tearing up at the computer (Jenny's story). By the way, I love your lamb in pearls... too cute! Well, I'm off to finish the rest of your site and consider pearls for myself as well. Thanks so much, Susan

Susan Crowder

I wanted to write you back and let you know that I got the pearls that you sent me. They were just as pretty in person as on your web page. It was a very nice surprise it couldn't have came at a better time I hadn't been feeling well for I have MS and everything had been getting to me and that was one thing that picked me up and let me know that everything not always out to get us. Thank you for all the smiles that you gave me and God bless you. Your friend, Donna Sawyer

Wow - what a site! I have bookmarked, made shortcuts to my desktop and emailed myself with links to your wonderful site. I found interesting information that the kids can use for school, for some family projects, and research for some friends. I got so pearled up with your site I almost forgot my "MUST DO TODAY" list. .... Found the 2nd "Dragonflies & Pearls" photo towards end of page, underneath Mikimoto Pearls Available on eBay listings: https://www.karipearls.com/pearls-on-men.html from Pearls For Men page.

After spending hours going through every page and beginning to think I was doing something wrong "I HAVE FOUND THE PICTURE".
This wonderful site has restored my faith in wearing pearls and when I saw the prize for this competition I knew I had to enter and try and win my first pearl set of necklace and earrings. The colour is gorgeous as well.

Frances O'Dwyer (United Kingdom)

I am so very sorry but have just realised that I didn't write and thank you for the lovely pink pearl set that I won after finding the picture on you website. They are lovely but I have yet to wear them. I think now I am going to wait until christmas as I want to wear them as a whole set the first time. After that I don't mind wearing them seperately. I do hope your mum has recovered from her hip operation and you are keeping well too.

Take care and God Bless, Frances


Hey Kari! This time I think I did find it! I expected it to be a lot smaller so it would be harder to find, so that kinda threw me off :) I LOVE pearls! Thanks!

Hello Kari, I received the pearls yesterday...I was so excited! They are absolutely beautiful. I haven't stopped wearing them since I got them. I love the clasps. They really add a nice touch. You did a wonderful job on them. Thanks again! Johanna Draper

Kari, I just found the second photo in your pearl treasure hunt contest. It's at this URL: https://www.karipearls.com/creating-art-from-shells.html The title of the page is "Creating Art from Shells." I've been working hard on this contest, and at times despaired of ever finding the second photo. I hope I'm the first to find the photo on this page as I would not want to have to start over! I've enjoyed looking at your pages and have learned a lot. I've kept a list of the pages I've looked at, and I am amazed at the work you've done. I'll be looking at more of it even though I've found the photo!

Nancy Hoyt


Oh my, what a lovely set! Thank you so much. I know I will enjoy wearing them. Very dainty, with beautiful findings, too. Nancy Hoyt

They came today!!! I am sooooo happy!!!! I absolutely love the pearls! You are a wonderful person and I hope God continues to bless!

I don't have pierced ears so I went ahead and bought some blank clip on earrings and some jump rings so I could convert them to clips (which look just like pierced, so unless you are looking reallllly realllly closely at them you wont be able to tell the difference!). It took less than 2 minutes to turn two pairs of pierced earrings into clip ons!!

Thank you so much for making such beautiful jewelry and for having that wonderful dragonfly treasure hunt!

Hi Kari,

I wanted to thank you for the pearls. They are absolutely beautiful! I think I even saw in some of them the rainbow-like quality that is called "orient." I had read about orient but I've never seen it before and I could not picture what it looked like--until I got the pearls from you! I decided to give them to my mom for Mother's day, because she loves pearls and she has never owned real pearls before. She too thought they were beautiful and was very happy to have them.

Thank you again,

Lucia

Hi Kari, As I was looking through your website, I found the picture of the dragonflies. It is on the "Speech Before The Execution of Charles I Of England". Hopefully, I was the first to find it so I could show off the beautiful pearls to a couple of my neighbors who already won. I love your website!!! Thank you,

Karen Williams



I found the firefly and pearls photograph on The Pearl A Modern Version page above verse XX. I hope I have won!

I just want to tell you how much pleasure your web site has given me. I have been housebound by illness since I was 30 (now 49) and your site has been a magical journey. Thank you so much.

You might like to know that I live in Perthshire in a little village close to Perth and that I was born in the Kingdom of Fife. To have you mention both is wonderful. I will be back!

Lynn



My neighbor was telling me what a great website you have so I decided to take a look. It's very interesting and I am looking at some potential Christmas gifts.

I found it!!!

About 7 hours ago my mom asked me something about pearls and I typed pearls on my search engine and I saw your site and got hooked. It's now 3am and I was about to shut my pc down. I saw your fun contest about 4 hours back and I must have read most of your entries, explored the videos and stories, basically looking for the other pearls and dragonflies in the process. I was just browsing your e-cards then shut down my pc (for my eyelids are drooping) but lo and behold something familiar on the RADIANT PEARLS FREE E-CARDS PAGE!!! It woke my senses, though I'm not sure if I'm the first to see the winning photo. I hope I am for I love pearls...my country being "the Pearl of the Orient"-the Philippines. I might as well end my novel before somebody beats me to sending. (If I'm the first) haha! I have 5 baby nieces and I called my sis to show the cute baby bracelets. Your story is amazing! More power to you! GOD bless you more!

I'll try not to GUSH, but these pearls are SO STUNNING !!!!!....they shine like a soft GALAXY, with silky iridescence!!!! .... I feel SO PRETTY and put together with these pearls,....funny, I'd have never imagined the extra OOMPH that a quality set of pink pearls can bring...You know what ELSE is funny? They FEEL good...soft,and smooth.... I mean, they are hard, of course, they're pearls! ....but they feel so soft. If I had to pick three words to describe them, they would be : SOFT, FEMININE, and LUXURIOUS !!!...
You can not tell from the photo the way they SHINE with layers and layers of iridescence! Even in the picture you can't tell how very PINK they are. It's odd that these are NATURAL COLORS, right out of the shell...but the same God made colorful hummingbirds and painted the sunsets. So go figure! Love, Evelyn

Pearl treasure hunt winners:
