Where can I purchase the Lucky Cat pendant?

paradisevalley · 09-14-2007, 01:33 AM

Don't know if this question was already addressed in this thread, couldn't scroll through all the pages, but does every oyster have a pearl in it? Or is there a chance to pay for an oyster and come up empty?

Sorry, I just found this post which answered my previous question.

Does anyone have more photos of their pearl jewelry that they can post?

Thanks!

I'd love to do this for a friend's birthday. Do they have gift boxes to put the pearl in, or would I need to purchase something?

newholidayx2 · 09-21-2007, 01:56 PM

it does come in a small box

Im wearing a dolphin w/the pearl I picked out in Aug. Going back 7 wks from today and have the dolphin encounter booked on my 50th birthday

My Stepdaughter did this in August and got an 8mm pearl...unfortunately we didn't have it set (she wanted a ring but knows she'll outgrow it yet) but plan on it soon. I may *steal* it from her and have it set for XMAS and wrap it to give as a gift.

We had so much fun doing this and it was one of her must dos for the trip. We will do it every trip from now on as it is a fun experience.

When you have it set, just be sure to let the jeweler know that it's for a young, growing girl. He can then guide you to settings that will be easily upsized. Some designs make this impossible or difficult to do.....for instance bands with design on the band, you'll never be able to upsize properly....thin bands can be difficult to upsize also. Then when she's outgrown it she can keep the same setting that she's grown to love (and has the memories of a stepmom who loved her enough to steal it, lol).

One quick word of warning about the rings: I did the pick a pearl in Japan a couple weeks ago, and it was so much fun! I picked out a ring to have the pearl set in, and since I don't know my size the girl guessed and picked a size for me and it fit perfectly on the first try. When I got home, the ring is too big! It was really hot outside and hot in the Japan store, and my fingers must have been swollen from the heat. I can still wear the ring on another finger, but I'm not used to wearing one on that finger and it feels weird, and it's not where I wanted to be able to wear it. So make sure your fingers aren't swollen from the heat, or go in knowing your ring size!

Also, it seems that they slopped some glue on the pearl and I can't get it off. I didn't notice this until I got it home, because I picked it just a couple days before coming home and they said not to wear it for a couple days to let it set. I'm pretty disappointed because the pearl is beautiful, but now it has smears all over it.

I noticed when I came back to pick up my ring that the customer in front of me bought a gold setting, and hers was wrapped in a pretty little Disney box. She did not ask for any special box, that's just what they put it in. Mine was a less expensive sterling silver setting, and they just put it in a plain white cardboard ring box. I guess you get a nice box if you spend more money. It doesn't really matter, but it was kind of a let down after I saw the other lady's cute WDW box, I was looking forward to having my own cute little WDW box and didn't get one.

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely remember that when I bring it. I have to be real careful when I sneak it out of her room---hopefully she won't be looking for it---I'd hate to have to tell her I took it and ruin the surprise which would be better then the panic attack she'll have if it is truly missing!
