pick a pearl setting

[thatgirl23]

Maybe I just missed it, but I didn't see any real "Disney" settings at Japan or the stand at DTD.

I was also disappointed by the selection at the stand at DTD. I mean if I had hundreds of dollars to spend, that's one thing, but I was on a budget. Besides, the only one I really liked was a turtle but they said a pearl couldn't be put in/on it because it wasn't a cage. Why have it at a pearl stand then?

We did pick two times at Japan and got a 7 1/4 and a 7 1/2. Both were made into necklaces around $50 each (chain and setting). Unfortunately they are already wrapped for Christmas but I can take pics as soon as they're opened.

I agree with a previous poster who mentioned the scary prices at DTD vs Epcot. On the other hand, DD got a lovely ring setting there for under $50. and a beautiful golden 7.5mm pearl. The setting was much nicer than we had seen in the 2 nights we'd scoped out "Japan", and the pearl was as well, so it was worth it.

Did you find these settings in DTD or in Japan? My DD & I pick our pearls in Epcot. I got a emerald & gold pendant, y DD got a butterfuly. They're lovely but I really love how these are Disney oriented. They'd make a great souvenier into a geat Disney trip souvie!

THis is such a pretty ring

was the setting expensive? i would love one like that.

And a close up

Overall it was a great experience. Picking my own pearl made it even more special. I have nothing but great things to say about Vicki and the Pearl Factory so I would definitely recommend taking a look there as well as Japan if you are looking.

Here's mine from my trip last week!!

I have been enjoying looking through this thread tonight - I know it started 2 years ago but I wanted to add my own pearl i got.

This was the first year dh and I went down to WDW - we had just gotten engaged a few weeks earlier (end of november) and he had given me my engagement ring christmas eve. We were down for the marathon and my first trip since i was a kid.

The first night we arrived we went to Capt'n Jacks for a late dinner (so romantic with a view of the water). After dinner we walked by the Pearl booth and I told dh that my mother and I had picked one when I was a little girl and we had them made into rings but were stolen 15 years later when our house was broken into.

We continued on and eventually i had to go to the w/c. when i got back dh was standing by the pearl booth and said that he couldn't replace what was stolen but maybe i could exchange a bad memory for a good one.

We picked this pearl (i don't remember the size but it looks about 7mm) and the setting. a single small diamond on a white gold setting.

we bought it over 7 years ago and i still haven't gotten a necklace for it (the chain it's on i borrowed from dd's necklaces).

i can't wait to pick another and have dd (3.5 yrs) pick one for herself.

my hope is that the one she picks will have a touch of pink (her fav colour)

here's the pearl

I went to Disney in August of 07 with my then 3 year old daughter and 5 year old son. My daughter picked on in Japan with twins!! My son picked one out of the big tank at sea world a few days later. He got a pretty big blue/silver one! He was super excited! I cant wait, we will be going back in October or November (thanks to the new military deal!!). We will get them set while there and probably get more!!
This will be extra special because my husband will get to go with us this time!! We found out ONE week before our trip in 07 that he couldnt go because of work! It was disappointing, but the kids and I still went because everything was already paid. Cant wait to go back!!!

Is it real silver or just plate???

 

[derrickmom]

dump

 

[derrickmom]

I just bought two cinderella cages on ebay for $9.25 with shipping ! Thanks for the tips!!!! AWESOME

 

[Kurby]

mine is coming up to up to canada so i guess that's why the difference in price - 2 cindy cages and shipping 11.45

and my guess is that it's either plated or stainless steal not silver - the cost doesn't match what silver would cost - even on ebay.

Our first trip to Disney was my DSs first vacation ever (ex didnt believe in spending money). So when I got the divorce I decided we were going full force to disney and luckily we did. We were there for almost 3 weeks!

Anyway we went to Japan watched the candy lady and walked into the building with this display. Each of my boys picked out a shell and I had it displayed into a ring that actually could hold both pearls nicely with a small "diamond" between them. Unfortunately the glue on one came loose and I lost the one pearl. But luck would have it I found it a couple weeks later in the flower bed....now just have to reglue it.

It is one of the most special tokens of that trip! It represents to me so much more than a trip to Disney, it represented our first step as our own family. I can't wait for them to do it again this June. I think I am going to have both placed on a necklace, hopefully one like the diamond ones where they flow down.......so excited to do this again!

OK, and now but just as sentimental to me at least. The last night of our trip, my oldest (then 12) secretly went to the gift store at the hotel and bought me a pin. In the morning I woke up with this large size Micky Mouse pin holding a "THANKS" banner! He attached it to an index card (hotel must have given it to him), where he wrote how much he loved the trip, and how he was sorry that he and his brother fought at all during it. He went on to say how proud he was of me standing up for what I believed and knew that the 3 of us would make it regardless of what comes our way...... I still have that pin attached to the card in my Jewelry box next to the pearl ring.

TELL ME THAT ISN'T DISNEY MAGIC
