We can't wait to see the pics. Did you do this in Epcot?

Yes, it was in Japan. Will post pics hopefully Sat.

I experienced picking a pearl for the first time on our anniversary trip last December! This is the gorgeous cage necklace I came home with! It's a pinkish-greenish pearl...can't remember the mm right now...7.25 maybe?

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.

I had the same thing happen to my dd pendant. When we got home, we unwrapped the setting and found a lump of glue on the pearl. I simply contacted the company (the info was right on the receipt) and they were extremely helpful. They instructed me to mail it to them, insured. I did and within 2 weeks time they cleaned up the pearl without a trace of damage.

It may have just been what they happened to have available that day. I got a gold cage necklace w/an 18" (i think) chain, and I just got the plain white cardboard also. I don't think it has anything to do w/how expensive it is...

My wife got a silver necklace, and a silver cage/mount, and her pearl, and we got the Disney Box. It is nice so i think its just random

Does anyone know where you can get the pearl set in a mickey mouse head? And how much do the settings vary from different locations?
Thanks for the help

I think someone posted previously that they were only available on cruises but can be found on eBay.

Very pretty! That's one that I haven't seen.

pretty - but how does it "slide"?

 

[princessmom29]

I think rthe chain goes throug the openings like a slide bracelet??

Yes, the chain will go through the 2 big loops at the sides...at the top of the heart.

It's beautiful Lauren!

I am not a huge pearl fan but that slide is very very pretty. That may be what it takes to get me to let DH buy me an oyster! lol

I am glad you like it! It may be a nice anniversary gift for you on your trip! That is what I got mine for, our first anniversary! Enjoy your trip!
