I'd love to see a picture of this and how much it cost!
I just wanted to thank everyone for their advice on the pick a pearl booth in the Japan store. We were there on Dec. 3rd, my daughter's 21st birthday. She picked a pearl with everyone's advice about the hairiest oyster. She received an 8 1/4 mm pearl. She picked out a beautiful cage necklace to put it in. I'm sure it will be a memory she will have forever.
What a great story and memory to have.Pick a Pearl is one of the most treasured things to me at Disney.
My family started taking me to Disney shortly after the parks opened in the late 70s. By the time Epcot opened, we had been there a number of time already and my father started a tradition with me.
Every time we went, we did the Pick a Pearl and I got to select a ring, bracelet or necklace to have the pearl mounted in. I still have every one of those items since.
My father now has Alzheimers and our family has been in a state of remembering the past and this one thing is one of my most treasured memories of my father.
I remember the excitement as I pick out my oyster and the CM opens it to find the treasure inside. I remember taking a long, long time in the store going over every setting to see which was my favorite. And I remember what a fuss he would make over me the entire trip of now beautiful I looked with my new item and that how I was just like that pearl to him.
So while picking a pearl and a setting may seem like a trivial thing in Disney, trust me, it can have an impact on a person throughout their whole life.
Forgive me if this has been asked, but where do they get the oysters? Or do they reuse the shell and refill it?
I had my mother pick a pearl on our trip last year. A few days earlier, at Christmas, I gave her this cage necklace. (picture is from dizneechic)
She has a thing for Cinderella's carriage and just loved it! I got the necklace for about $5 on ebay (new). She picked a pearl in Japan and put it right inside the carriage.
This is the bracelet setting I had mine put into at the Maui Divers pick a pearl in Maui. My son picked the oyster and it had a beautiful pink pearl. They also let him pick another one for free since I bought the setting and it had 2 white pearls in it, but we didn't have them set yet. Last year when we where here I picked one at the Hilo Hatties here in Maui and it also had 2 white pearls.
