pick a pearl setting

[michaeldorn1]

I've thought about it...just don't care if they're alive or not. It's an oyster for pete's sake..trust me, if I could get away with popping that baby on a Ritz cracker with a little hot sauce after the pearl is out, I would.

You and me both!!!
Oh, and don't forget the horseradish!!! ;-0

Do you have any experience with this merchant? Are they trustworthy?

I found another website www.cnepearls.com; they both have the exact same layout & design & I don't know, but they both look questionable to me.

No, haven't ordered from them yet. But I have ordered from similar merchants (Asian Merchants) in the past and have had no problem. They often misspell some of the words. It's cheap enough that I would take the risk if I could figure out what to do with that many pieces. Maybe it would be fun to give away some to unsuspecting people at the pick a pearl place. Sprinkle a little pixie dust.

Hmm... Well if you do order from them could you let me know how it goes? If you or someone else has a good experience then I'll probably place an order. They have a lot of neat stuff at some awesome prices; & it would be great for souvenirs & Christmas gifts.

I got one of the the carriage pearl cages from ebay user "kzgc08" at the beginning of June. The price was $3.50. I added the 16" chain for additional $1.50. Both were the white gold plated. Had very good experience with that user. They had over 2,000 feed backs and a 99.9% positive rate.

A little bit more than the 90 cent offer mentioned earlier, but even with shipping, the whole deal was just about 6 or 7 bucks.

I have a dumb question that has probably been answered already (I've been trying to keep up!).

Are the pearls fresh or salt water? For $17, I'd do the saltwater one, but maybe not for fresh. I bought 30+freshwater strands in China for just $3 for every 16 inches, I don't know if cheapo-kim can pay $17 for something I've already paid pennies for.

I have to second that about Asian stores. I have had excellent luck with Deal Extreme and Arts Cow. Also Oriental Trading company gets a lot of stuff sent from China.

I found that the price is low enough that you can afford to take that first chance - when it works ou, you spend a little more the next time, KWIM?

Spelling is odd and shipping is so low you fear it is a scam, but honestly, I have had tremendous luck!!!

Oh - and to you for spreading some Disney Magic!!!

We needed 5 carriages and 2 sterling ones so I went ahead and ordered them from China. It was over $100 but I plan to sell the extras on Ebay.

Has anyone put a round pearl in the carriage? It advertised that it holds an oval pearl. For my 2 year old, I might bring an oval one from home, it can be her practice pearl

I can't wait to pick a pearl, I so hope I get a black one!

 

[Disney-Kim]

I ordered the carriages day before yesterday from Ebay...that site I found here got them in stock.

so they only hold oval pearls??

I got 2 black pearls when I did pick a pearl at Hilo Hatties in Maui a few years ago. really pretty !

 

[Disney-Kim]

I am so bummed...I just realized the carriage cages I just ordered are for oval pearls...oh well

maybe the 2 black pearls I have will fit...they are small.

ok...what should I get for round pearls??

 

[allshookup]

There have been posts here that as long as the round pearl is small, it should fit the carriage cage no problem. A PP also stated that if your pearl is too large, they will exchange it for you.

 

[pixleyyy]

I tried the carriages with a 7.2mm round pearl that I had sitting around and it fit very well with room to spare. It's said that these will fit up to an 8.0mm round pearl. So no worries, your carriages will work!

Where are the carriage cages sold and do they tarnish?

I am so excited about this! I had no idea that it even existed (saw nothing about it on the sites I'd been looking at...or might've missed it) so thank you all!

Is the location for the Pick a Pearl in DTD still the same as it has been reported from other years? Since that seems to be variety of settings. And I believe it has been asked before in this thread - but I can't seem to find the answer, so I apologize for asking it again. Are you able to pick the pearl itself in Epcot, and then bring it to DTD for a setting?

I'm loving the carriage setting, and I'll definately be buying one before our next trip. I asked my mom to let me pick a pearl and setting instead of getting a class ring. I'm so excited, they're beautiful! Thanks for all the info!

A lot of Ebay listings say it holds an oval. I guess I'll know in a couple of weeks
