pick a pearl setting

[songkat]

Just did this back in February. That trip was to celebrate my 50th birthday. I paid for the pearl, and then my sister surprised me with buying the 14k gold setting. I love it!

I've been trying to post my pictures but haven't been able to. I don't know what I'm doing, but I'll keep working on it!!

I was wondering if anyone had used the carriage cages from Etsy? From reading some old posts it seems people had trouble with cages from Ebay not being able to hold a larger pearl, but the Etsy ones say they will hold a 10mm pearl. How about the quality. I would like to get these for my girls, but they are only 6 & 3 so I don't want to spend a fortune, but I don't want them to turn green either!

Is there any other Disney type settings other than the carriage?

We have a carriage cage from Etsy from 2 years ago. I think those were the smaller ones. Thought I read that they redid the cages and they are bigger now. I think we got a 7mm pearl and it just fit.

Etsy carries the carriage too. You could visit your own local jewelry store for something too and just bring the necklace with you. If the pearl you pick does not fit, they will give you one that does.

If you want sterling silver:

Not bad, it includes the chain. It is cheaper then PAP.

I wrote a blog about our experience at Epcot a couple of years back, if anyone wanted to read it. Lots of photos.

I just finished reading through this thread. I think that this is now a must do for our family on our next visit.

I just bought two Cinderella carriages from Etsy. Super cute, and inexpensive (I didn't get the sterling silver, just the silver-plated, so they were something like $8 each). I can't wait to do this!

Sorry, I know this is a really old thread but I am wondering if anyone has some updated photographs of ring and earring settings?

 

[disboardslurker]

Never knew you could do this. Sounds like a cool experience. Maybe I can do this with my gf next week

DF surprised me with this on our last trip, it was SO much fun! They make a big show of it- really gathers a crowd. The pearl DF picked was the biggest one of the day. I wanted a ring, and I remember not being thrilled with the options, but there were a good number of settings to choose from. I'll see if I can figure out how to post a pic...

 

[disboardslurker]

Are there any pics of the settings and costs

 

[ModernArtist]

If you need to see examples of settings. A simple Google image search brings up some great results.

 

[disboardslurker]

Awesome! Thanks

 

[SnowWhite1015]

I wish I thought to take pics of all the settings, like ModernArtist said, maybe Google.

This thing was a pain to get a good pic of! Sorry it's so big.

ETA: this setting was $49

I saw someone had a princess crown one a few pages back. Do they still sell those? My gf is a huge princess fan and I know she would love that necklace

i'm planning on doing this for the first time next week? any suggestions or tips?

When my friends and I were at WDW in October we went to DTD to pick our pearls. The one friend and I have a tradition that when we go on vacation we pick a pearl (we did this in Vegas last March). I have always been told to pick the biggest and ugliest oyster. At DTD we got two different ones that fit our personalities perfectly. I wear gold and she always wears silver. Here is my pearl and setting (which the lady sold us on because she said that we were princesses):

Does anyone know if this is still available?
