pick a pearl setting

[pta-mom]

I actually just had to comment on one of your tags... about the 3 sec rule not counting if the chocolate falls in the toilet. LOL

I have a 2 1/2 yr old DS... oh the fun I know I'm in for!

Had a busy day... this board is always good to put a smile on my face.

LOL!! Yup, it was pretty funny actually & yup, it was about my (then) almost three year old son!! I think only the day before he had dropped a cookie on the floor which I promptly grapped up & said that it was totally fine, 3 sec rule. So, of course, next day, chocolate falls into toilet bowel & son promptly reaches into toilet & says, 3 SEC RULE!!!

My sons are only 1 1/2 years apart so I had lots of "fun" in those early years!!! Seriously though Lighttech, it goes so fast, just enjoy it while you can & breath deeply on those "busy days"!!

Glad I made you smile!

Here are my new treasures Picked pearls in Japan and had set in DTD.

Wow!! Those pictures are gorgeous! Is the crab a pin and the lizard a pendant?

Does anyone have a picture of the Lucky Cat setting? My DD's birthstone is Pearl and my DW and I actually purchased a lucky cat in the Japan Pavilion last October (the cat was supposed to be for a healthy birth) so I'm thinking it might be a good present for my DW for Christmas this year.

After seeing this thread... I'm DEFINATELY interested in this! I do have a couple of questions though...

I'll admitt that I did read over the 7 pages (but in pieces) so if these questions have been answered already... please just direct me to the post

1) How much is it to "shuck" the oyster? I know "shuck" isn't the right word... but it's the only word I could think of. I remember that you have to pick the ugliest one though!

2) Once I have a pearl... how much is it to get it set in a pendant? As nice as those rings are... I'm more of a necklace girl! I'd like for my mom and I to get matching pendants... and if so... do we get a chain with it?

3) Has anyone checked on the Pick-a-pearl booth at Typhoon Lagoon? I was noticing that the Dis updated there photo page with some pics of the park... one of which being a pretty nice booth for this.

Any help would be appreciated!

Here are a few pictures I took when my DD8 did Pick a Pearl in Japan last September:

We didn't have time to chose a setting (had to get to the airport to catch our flight but didn't want to leave Epcot without doing this). My DD didn't mind, she proudly shows her friends her REAL PEARL which is still in the baggie they sent us home with. I plan on letting her do this again in November but next time, we'll have it set.

Hey Missy,
The crab is actually a pendant too...there's a little loop for a chain behind one of his claws. The lizard is a pendant and his tail forms the bail for the chain.

1) How much is it to "shuck" the oyster? I know "shuck" isn't the right word... but it's the only word I could think of. I remember that you have to pick the ugliest one though!

It's $14.98 to open an oyster.

2) Once I have a pearl... how much is it to get it set in a pendant? As nice as those rings are... I'm more of a necklace girl! I'd like for my mom and I to get matching pendants... and if so... do we get a chain with it?

The cost can vary greatly depending on what you pick. My sterling silver lizard was $39.99 whereas the 14K crab was $99 and those prices do NOT include chains. I didn't even ask about chains at DTD b/c I knew I had some at home, but did get my DD a chain w/her butterfly pendant in Japan and I think it was about $15 on top of the $19 for the butterfly.

3) Has anyone checked on the Pick-a-pearl booth at Typhoon Lagoon? I was noticing that the Dis updated there photo page with some pics of the park... one of which being a pretty nice booth for this.

I got a huge 8mm pearl during my honeymoon and I can't remember now (b/c it's been TEN years ), but I got it either at Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon and people were having fab luck. I got a biggie, another kid got twin pink pearls and another woman got a black pearl!!

Let me know if you have any other questions.

1. Does anyone know if they will set a pearl that was picked from a previous trip?

2. Could someone post a pic of the dolphin settings?

Thanks!!!

I don't think they would have a problem setting a pearl from a previous trip. My DDs picked out their pearls but waited several days to decide which setting to put it in. They didn't even ask when we got the pearls.

Here's mine:

It's hard to take photos of jewelry!! We are going back in 10 days and I can't wait to do it again!!

Very nice

So is Japan the only place you can get the Lucky Pendant? Can anyone post a pic of it?

 

[lyzziesmom]

kimbac3, your necklace looks just like mine! Does anyone know if they have a ring setting that is similar? I'd like to get a ring to match but it seems like the "cage" would not work on a ring. Maybe they have something a little simpler. Does anyone have any pictures of any rings? Or do they do bracelets? We are going in 2 days and I definitely want to get something else to go with my necklace!

Thanks.

Kay, do you remember what you paid for the crab? This would be a PERFECT birthday present for my mom!!!

I am loving this thread...bring on more pictures!! I am surprising my 16 year old with this on our next trip. She is going to love it!! I like the tip to bring our own chain, I have several just laying around in my jewlery box.

Yes, you can bring one back with you. My dd and I chose a total of 3 pearls earlier this month. I had my two put into a ring and a pendent, she had her's put into a pendent. I did ask the young lady there if I could bring one back that I had gotten several years ago and have it set. It's a black one and very pretty. she told me that as long as it was in the original baggie there would be no problem.

That's great to know, I'll be sure to bring my DD's back with us in November to have it set. Glad it's still in the baggie we took it home in last September!

Which pick a pearl location was this at? Hopefully Japan, as that's where we got hers.

KDK1188... Thank you so much for your informative response This is something I'm looking for my mom and I to both do together... but wanted to know how much to "budget" for it. Your pendants were absolutely amazing... the setting designs are so unique and different! I'm glad to hear "good things" about the location at TL. I don't think BB was open during your Honeymoon but I could be wrong! I remember a '99 opening date.

Do they make the same pendtants in different "karat" categories? For instance, could I get the crab at a "lower quality karat" and therefore a cheaper price?

 

[BabyPiglet]

Another question....

How much was that cage pendant?
