pick a pearl setting

[LittleFlounder]

I am so excited to pick a pearl for my mom...she's not into disney all that much but this will be the perfect gift for her, a memory for me to have picking the pearl and her being able to wear it and think of me!

I did this for my mother during my last trip as well! She is not a Disney fan at all, but she loved the pearl I picked for her (in the cage pendant, on a silver chain). She wears it all the time!

Do they by any chance have a setting that is male-ish?

I was at Japan yesterday and they did have a tie tack and possibly cuff links for the guys...

FYI... When I went to DTD I asked about seeing what settings they had for the 'pick your pearls' and they basically told me they had hundreds of them and I would have to actually pick my pearl first then they would show me settings. Well I wanted to pick my pearl in Japan since it sounded like a better 'show' so I chose a setting in Japan as well. In DTD they have no 'sample settings' out for viewing (only finished jewelry) but they do have a display case in Japan with settings for the pearls...

Thank you so much! We are going in November - and I was thinking my twins could get a present for their nana. This way they could for grandpa too! A tie tac would work fine.

Thanks again.

Doesnt it suck to have parents that dont get the disney magic....if i could find a harley davidson mickey she would love it!!!!! But until mickey is a biker mouse , a pearl will have to do..i think she's going to when she see's it.

Someone ask for a Harley Mickey?

I thought I had a photo of my ring online, but I guess not. Well, here are the pearls we got - the pink is my friend's, the champagne is my service dog's , and the blueish silvery one is my beloved pearl!!

haha that is great!!!!!

I forgot to also say, the first time I did the Japan Pick-a-Pearl was in the 80s and I didn't mount it while there (at that time they said my pearl was too big for a ring, but they do rings for that size pearl now). I did have a local jeweler mount it on a gorgeous necklace for me in the late 90s. So, if you don't like any of the mounts they have at Disney, you can still pick the pearl(s) and have it mounted at home.

I got a 7mm pinkish-gold pearl in the smaller silver cage setting. I want to wear it, but I'm afraid I'll lose it or something! I loved the girls at Japan in Epcot because they made such a big deal out of it. The two people after me had larger pearls, but I didn't feel any less special

I think you'll be very safe wearing the caged ones.

My ring has stayed intact. The pin that I put my dog's pearl on, however, the pearl fell off on the first wearing. Thankfully, it fell off at home right after we got in - I'd thought it fell off at the restaurant or outside, but thankfully found it on the floor near the door! I don't know what kind of glue to put it back on with, so I haven't fixed it yet. Maybe I'll bring it back with me on my next trip and see if they'll fix it. (The pearl is drilled and then put on a little post and glued there.)

that bluish silvery pearl is gorgeous!!!

i can only hope to pick one that beautiful!!

 

[Ms_Butterfly]

Thanks! I was so shocked and overjoyed when I saw it!! The pearl I'd done before was a champagne or peach light shade, so I was sooo wanting something different like a dark color.

Now this is just 'hearsay', but I was told to pick the ugliest one that is by itself to find the most 'beautiful' pearl! Of course, if it doesn't work the first time, I'll try the best looking one in the middle of the pile! I SO want a bluish/black pearl this time around (I don't even care of the size)!

We got the silver blue colored pearl and picked the ugliest and it had what looked like hair growing on it and got that pearl.

I love the pictures! Thanks to you all for sharing this info!

DH and I are going to Disney World at the end of September to celebrate our 5th anniversary. I would love to get one of those pearls in a ring or a necklace to commemorate our trip. Any suggestions on how I can bring this up to DH without flat out telling him what I want for my anniversary gift? TIA all!

 

[Disneycrazy!!]

can't wait to do this on my trip in a couple of weeks with my dd and mom. This will be a great suviner instead of buying an expensive t-shirt or stuffed animal that will get trashed in a few years.
Does anyone know if they have any Disney related settings? i would love to have something with mickey ears..

There may be something to it. Right now I would take anything. As you see from my ticker, I have a while!

Doesn't make me any less paranoid I will start wearing it, though. It's so beautiful, and my dad paid for the setting and chain as a present for making the Dean's List at school.

Here is my necklace, plain setting.

My ring, double leaf.

Sorry they are blurry, I am not a good picture taker.
