I'm looking for something special for my wife and need some help

[markP]

I’m not sure if this is the right place for this but I’m at a loss. This Valentines Day will be our third together as husband and wife so I thought the perfect present would be a necklace pendant with 3 diamonds and since we’re both huge Disney/Mickey fans… I think you know what I want to get her. But this hasn’t been the easiest search. I’m not looking to buy from anyone on the board but if anyone has a web address where I can find what I’m looking for I’d love to hear from you. The URL below is a link to eBay that has a picture of earrings of almost exactly what I’d like to find. She doesn’t really wear earrings so this isn’t any good.

Thanks for your help.

I'd suggest calling the World of Disney store in Downtown Disney and asking them if they have anything like this. There's also a watch shop / jewelry store in the Magic Kingdom on Main Street.

You could fax them a picture of what you're looking for.

They are always happy to ship things.

I'd go to a good jeweler (not in the mall) and commission it. We had my wedding band custom made and it was not prohibitively expensive. I would think just about any jeweler could make what you're looking for.

Wow, what a sweet guy you are!!! The three diamond look is really in right now but that is a really awesome take on it. I agree with charabby, just have it made. It would be a really simple setting to do and save you a lot of time looking for something that may not exist. What a sweet man and I can't believe you're already looking for this more than a month in advance!!!

Ditto to the custom design. It will mean so much more.

most reputable jewelers won't make such a thing due to disney copyright...

Wow... thanks for the good ideas and fast responses. I think I'll start by calling the World of Disney to see what they can do for me (I never thought of that, but I guess that’s why I’m posting here) thanks DoeWDW. Getting it made as a custom job will be the next step if the World of Disney doesn’t have what I’m looking for or can’t help. know that jewelers are pretty backed up after the holidays so I’m afraid it could take too long for it to get made. Although MICKEY88 raises a good point about the copyright issue I’m not sure the jeweler would worry about it too much since it is a private commission and not for resale. But I guess we’ll see what happens if I have to go with that idea. Thanks again for all the good ideas and replies.

good luck..I've tried for years to find a jeweler that will make a Mickey diamond ring..

no one will do it because of the copyright, the fact that it's a private commission doesn't matter, the dealer is still technically making a profit ,

actually if you find a jeweler willing to do it..please PM me the jewelers address

Walt Disney World
Merchandise Mail Order

It has happened to nearly every on of us. You see an item for sale in one of the shops in a theme park that you like but you decide to wait before you purchase it. One thing leads to another and before you know it, you are back home without having bought that item. Oh if there were only a way to still get it.

There is. Disney's merchandising division operates the very efficient Walt Disney World Mail Order department for just such contingencies.

I have found in my dealings with them that the CM's who staff the Mail Order department are very diligent and thorough in trying to find that special something that you are looking for.
To set the search wheels in motion, contact Mail Order at:
Telephone: 407-363-6200
Fax: 407-352-6369
Email: wdw.mail.order@disneyworld.com

I'll let you know what I find.

Why do I think this is going to be harder than I thought? I guess that's why I'm looking a month and a half before the Holiday.

 

[keenercam]

I definitely recommend the World of Disney at Downtown Disney. I bought austrian crystal earrings there with 3 crystals in the shape of mickey and I know I saw necklaces like that there. I have also heard that there is a very nice jewelry store in the Contemporary, so maybe if World of Disney does not have it, another jewelry store will.

Please let us know what you find out. I want to email this thread to my sweet hubby!

 

[TigerBear]

How do I find a husband like you, LOL!!!

 

[Manda1219]

Maybe if a jewler wont do the design, you can see if theyll swap out the crystals in a crystal necklace an replace it with diamonds? dont know if that would be a problem too, but ask around

 

[C.Ann]

Just wanted to chime in and say what a sweet and thoughtful husband you are..

Also - if you are able to acquire this stunning, memorable gift - I'd strongly suggest you throw in a box of Kleenex as well.. Your wife is going to be crying her eyes out from sheer joy!!

 

[gshoemate]

I believe Disney carries what your looking for. We were looking at Italian charms at Mouse Gears in Epcot, they just happened to be in the same case as the jewelry. My DH gave me a heart pendant for our anniversary in December and he pointed out a Mickey shaped diamond necklace and said he should of gotten that for me instead of the heart.

I'm sure we will be going to Disney in the next couple of weekends, I would be more then happy to look for you and see if I can get an item number to make ordering from the merchandise line a little easier.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I just put up a post about Mickey PJ's, LOL. And then I see this. Cool!!!! World of Disney does have a very good selection and would be available through the numgers on that link to Deb's site. Very neat, Mark.

 

[Growin'upDisney]

I am so jealous!! You even called it a holiday! Wish my DH was like you. I too am going to be there is a couple of weeks and will keep an eye out for one. the three stone look is very popular now. You can let her know that it usually is meant to represent the past, present, and future. throw that in with the Mickey and I agree with C.Ann - you will need Kleenex.

Good luck.

 

[markP]

So here's my plan of action. I work from home on Thursdays so I'll be making some calls tomorrow to some of the shops around Downtown Disney and maybe in the Magic Kingdom & Epcot as well. If that doesn't work out then I'll make some local calls to the Jewelers around the area to see what they'll do for me. And if that all fails... Then I guess it's back to the think tank for me.

Growin'upDisney and gshoemate,

I really appreciate your offer, that was very nice to keep an eye open for me! I'll let you know how I do with the calls. I'm feeling lucky, so I'll bet I have good news in the next few days.

Once again, Thanks All for the help, and kind words.
