pick a pearl setting - Page 54 - The DIS Discussion Forums

Disbabe · 05-22-2009, 03:56 AM

I picked a pearl at Japan Epcot last year and got a golden toned pearl and had it set into a silver cage and I love it.

I've also done it at Seaworld in 2001 and got a blue pearl. They made such a fuss about the proceedure. I had to name my pearl (moonbeam with it being blue) and I was also told it was a boy as it had a little extra bit sticking out (don't ask!) I had it set into a 14k white gold setting with a diamond set above and they drilled the hole where its "boyhood" was!

- don't know whether I believe it or not but she had me going! I got a little certificate with its date of birth and name on it. I remember it with such fond memories as it was our first trip to Orlando. There was a little girl also doing it at the same time and bless her she got an ordinary coloured pearl - I felt so guilty

because of the fuss they made over mine that it diminished her excitement over her pearl - but I do love mine!!

Will definately be doing it again this year as I'd love to get another coloured pearl and have it set in the carriage setting from ebay - Thanks for the tip!

Is there anything for a boy who wants to pick a pearl? He is into gems & crystals now & asked about this..Are there only things for girls? (Maybe more like a case rather than a peice of jewelry for him?)

My girls and I did this last week in Japan. It was $17.00 (w/tax) to get the pearl. Settings were extra. One of my DDs got an 8mm pearl--she was told it was the biggest of the day! The other DD got a 7.5mm one--also beautiful. Mine was the smallest at 7.25mm, but a lovely silvery color. It was very fun! The girls chose cute necklace settings w/their initials in sterling silver and mine is a cage necklace in white gold. We would do it again! It is a wonderful memory of the trip!

Have a great trip!

Does anyone have some pics of their pearls? Maybe one already mounted in a setting? This is something I have to do in July!

We usually go to pick-a-pearl in Japan, but my daughter couldn't wait and we ended up getting this ring at the Downtown Disney location:

It was $49.99 for the setting and I believe $15 for the pearl. She wanted a sterling silver ring and there were only 3 choices if you were picking a pearl, but she really loved this setting so it was fine.

can't wait for an answer to this, i want to go to the pick a pearl for myself, but I don't think i need more jewelery! so would be great to have a nice case (especially if its Disney) to keep a pearl in as a perfect souvenir!

I have a sterling silver Cinderella cage pendent that I sell at my kiosk. I can send a picture of it if anyone is interested.

Good Luck.

Thank you for your reply, it is in downtown Salt Lake City were there are a lot of tourists. You are definitely right though...location, location, location!

Any other "PEARLS OF WISDOM"

Sure I can! With that being said..........

Does anyone on this thread know how to upload pictures on here please...help a girl out! Thanks a MILLION!!!

I picked a pearl this past week at Epcot in Japan. As the girl was opening the oyster she told me this was a, "very special oyster" and asked me if I knew why. I said..."uh oh, why?" There were two of them! I believe about 61/2 cm if I remember correctly. They were twin pearls

I have a picture of the final product, including the settings I bought in Epcot. I surprised my mom and put one of the pearls in a necklace for her as a huge thank you for our awesome trip. I chose a simple ring setting. She left the store while I was choosing a setting and she cried when I showed her the finished product and that I was giving one to her.

Hope this helps someone!
