If not for necklaces, strings of pearls could only be used to fashion an ostentatious abacus or rappel into the purse of a high-society giantess. Explore pearls' myriad uses with today's Groupon: for $39, you get one pair of pearl stud earrings in a choice of five colors from My Pacific Pearls’ online store (a $175 value). Complimentary shipping is included with this Groupon; please allow one to three weeks.
My Pacific Pearls gathers freshwater pearls that go on to live dry-land lives as opulent necklaces, earrings, and other classic and contemporary pieces. The Hollywood Glamour Collection's pearl stud earrings carry 10.5- to 11-millimeter pearls in five naturally acquired colors, including white, silver-gray, peach, lilac, and tahitian black. The comfort-fit bottoms of their 14-karat yellow- or white-gold posts nestle securely against earlobes, crafting a perfectly round silhouette when viewed from the front. After a long day of making every sound a little classier, earrings are tucked into a complimentary silver or gold gift box with a kiss and a bedtime story. The pearls, which hail from several freshwater oyster villages in the South Pacific region, all garner high ratings for luster, nacre, surface, shape, and pearl matching.
As with an actual Hollywood star, each pair of Hollywood Glamour earrings comes with care instructions and a certificate of authenticity and valuation. Groupon customers also receive three $50 vouchers toward future purchases from the wide array of jewelry on My Pacific Pearls' website; the vouchers must be used in three separate orders, each totaling at least $100.

The Groupon Guide to: Recognizing Sports Balls
Though many sports exist that do not require the usage of a ball—such as running, swimming, and quicksand escaping—most professional athletes agree that to make it in the big leagues, you must be able to recognize the following balls:
Footballs: These “balls” aren’t balls at alls! A symmetrical tapered ovoid, pigskins can more accurately be called pig eggs because of their shape and their actual biological origins. The shape of a football allows you to throw a tight spiral, although this is only provable by first affixing it with a grenade of dazzling colored smoke.
Basketballs: The exact color, size, and shape of a pumpkin, these dimpled spheres are crisscrossed with black boundary lines—this is because each basketball is also a miniature basketball court! Gut it and lay it flat like an open newspaper for an exciting game of overturned ant farm vs. army men.
Golf Balls: These handheld esophagus-clogging beauties keep players from being dishonest when they jot down their score—you’ve probably heard the old golfers' expression “the more you cheat, the more you eat!” Golf-ball ingestion is responsible for more hospital visits than shark attacks and mechanical-shark attacks combined.
