If you have never done the Pick a Pearl, then Yes, you are missing something. It is a lot of fun.

Hi!

Actually I was looking at some of the older posts in this thread and quite a few people did submit photos of their treasure! Very cool, I may have to try that out! I never gave it much thought while in the Japan area in Epcot, but I will certainly make a trip of it this year.

When you come back, post and let us know how you liked it. Maybe we will get this thread to 3000.

I just came across this thread and was wondering the same thing. It is all cool, though. We are planning on picking 2 when we go in Feb. one for DW and DD. Hopefully we get some big ones!!

Can anyone tell me how much it is just to pick the pearl, both in Japan and at DTD? I am thinking about getting the carriage cages off ebay but don't want to if it's going to end up being a ton of money (I am getting them for other people in our party, without them knowing).

For the newbies to the thread, here is the link to my post with my necklaces. I got two more new ones this trip but haven't had time to photo them and put them up. I simply love doing this! lol

I went in September, and it was somewhere around $17 to pick the pearl...(in Japan)

There was no pressure to buy a setting, but I chose one I liked, and it was probably somewhere in the $30-40 range. It took them about 20 mins to set it...it wasn't crowded at the time

Hopefully someone else will chime in with DTD info.

In August it was exactly $17.00 in Epcot Japan--I just looked it up on my credit card statement where it's listed as "Mitsukoshi Orlando".
If you're getting the pearls for others in your party without their knowing does that mean that you're bringing the others to Epcot and surprising them there? Or are you picking the pearls for them? A big part of the fun is the whole process of picking the oyster and watching the opening.

Yes you are! Go take a look at it next time you're in Epcot and enjoy!

We're all going to Epcot together. I just didn't want to get the cages and give them to them and then make them feel obligated to spend an arm and a leg to pick the pearls.

I would love to see pics of everyone's pearls. I am still trying to figure out how to post mine on here.

I'll post one when I get a pic. I may have one somewhere on the internet

How is the selectin of yellow and white gold rings at EPCOT?

Personally, I wouldn't put a pearl in a ring. Pearls are a very soft stone, and crack and scratch easily.

I can't wait!! We have been so many times and are always looking for something new to try. this Feb we are doing this! How special-going to do it for my DD's birthday!!

It is $17 to pick a pearl. You are not obligated to get a setting if you don't want one. The people in the Japan Pavillion didn't say anything about us bringing our own cage with us.

 

[Princess Bling]

In the Japan Pavillion at Epcot they seemed to have several choices of both sterling silver and gold settings. The Pearl Factory in Downtown Disney has more gold choices.

Here are the pearls that we got in Epcot at the Japan Pavillion. Both pearls are 7mm. I got the Cinderella cage off ebay and the other setting is white gold.

You do have to be careful with pearls but I have two pearl rings that I got at Epcot some years ago, and they're both fine.

I don't wear them when I do dishes, or at work-more for weekends and special occasions.
