pick a pearl setting

[mickeystoontown]

I'd love to see more pictures too. Every year, I say I am going to pick a pearl and somehow never get around to doing it. This year, it's a "must do" for my daughter and I.

I don't have mine in pretty settings, but these are my three pearls. I can't read the date well, but I believe that says 1-26-03 or 1-28-03 and it's 7 1/2mm (i went for my senior high school choir trip). The second one was from my trip last year (4.16.08) with my family, and the third is from my trip with my best friend (3.17.09) from earlier this year. I've done P-A-P every time I go to WDW now and maybe one day ill make a necklace (a messy one, I guess, since theyre all different colors and sizes LOL) out of them all. I'll be going again this december, so i'll definitely get another!

That is so funny, we picked pearls on the same day this year. Both my DDs and I picked pearls (first time doing it) on 3/17/09. I bought the carriage pendent before we left . I think I am going to start a tradition now

I just ordered the carriage cage for my DD for our upcoming trip as a surprise for her birthday as we have never done this before. I also ordered myself and my mother (her birthday also) a ring setting. Would they set the pearls in the rings for us if we did not purchse them there? I am almost sure that this is a no but it doesn't hurt to ask. I can't wait to get down there and get picking!!!

I really hope DH will let me do this on our trip this fall, it would be a great anniversary gift.

go us! if you saw some crazy nut trying to photo document the pearl picking, that was probably me LOL but I hope you do start your tradition. It's a nice thing to do at Disney that isn't such a "Disney" thing, but you can always remember that memory in a subtle way I've got to remember next time to pick a hairy clam, though, judging by the luck of all these other people!!

I so want to do this on our trip, but i can't find the crown cage on ebay. Can someone help me out? Thanks!

I took pics for you, but have a crazy soccer day tomorrow with my son and Taylor Swift concert in the evening with DD so I will have to upload them on Sun if I survive!

I found the carriage cages as well as the crown cages on ebay. I liked the carriage ones better. I got two of them and four chains and it only cost $16 with shipping. I can't wait to surprise my girls with these at epcot!

Glad you all posted this. I forgot all about it. When we were in Hawaii years ago, we did this. My DD was about 4 at the time, now 23. I got a beautiful pearl had it set in a necklace with a tea leaf? around it. There is a small diamond beside it. They let my DD pick one for free. Hers was similar to mine, put in a simple setting. She wears it to this day. My DH and I will be celebrating our 25th anniversary in WDW in Oct. I think my DD and I will have to do this again.

Thanks everyone!!

Has anyone seen this mickey head at the pick a pearl locations at Dowtown Disney? If I were to buy one of these ahead of time, do you think they would glue the pearl in at Japan? I really like this setting the most but want to pick my pearl in Epcot.

I picked a pearl a few years ago, and decided to put it on a necklace. Its still in their tight and still looks brand new. Just remember to not wear any perfume with it otherwise you'll damage the pearl.

We are comming in Oct and I want to do this for me for my Aniv. and then get another one for my Mom for Christmas. I want a cage one. What type of cages do they have? Cinderella, Minnie, Mickey? How much do they cost?

Here is DCL Minnie empty, DCL Mickey with a pearl from Epcot(the ones in the wish pearl kit are junk IMO) and a chain from http://www.silverjewelryclub.com/, and a pearl with a sterling setting and chain from Epcot...and a few stray hairs from my white cat in the background

I wonder why they don't sell those cages in some of the WDW locations? They would be SO popular! I understand that the Japan one is owned by someone else but what about the other locations there?

I agree. I tried to find one on ebay or something but no luck.

My DD (almost 5) and I leave in 2 weeks to celebrate our birthdays! What an awesome birthday thing...matching pearl jewelry (especially since the pearl is the June birthstone.)
