pick a pearl setting

[Ppufi]

Could someone pretty please post a picture of their Lucky Cat setting, the price, and where they got it? This sounds like fun, and this setting sounds adorable.

Oooh, I'd like to see a picture too...

I think the Lucky Cat setting would be in Japan's pearl picking spot. They sell alot of Lucky Cat stuff there.

Ppufi, I remember seeing a picture like that on one of the posts. I know there are a lot of pages on this thread, but I thought there was on one in this thread.

I looked at all the pages on this thread and couldn't find it.

Sorry, I know I saw a pic somewhere on the boards.

Here is my ring....


My 2 dd's each picked a pearl and had this ring made at DTD. Cost was around $400. Posted a couple of pictures to show a different angle. Don't remember the color of the one pearl... not sure if it is blue or black. Maybe gray (if there is such a color)?

That is a beautiful ring. My pearl was similar in color maybe a bit darker to your's and they called it blue/silver/grey.

Yes, very very pretty.

This has been a great thread to read through. I'm pretty excited about DH buying me a late birthday gift in January. I do have a few questions for those experienced pearl pickers...

How does the process work? Do I need to pay at a register, then go to the oyster counter with a ticket or something? Or can I walk up to the oysters and just start there? Someone mentioned you have to stand out as a buyer from the lookers, but I don't know what that really entails.

How long does the pearl birth actually take? From picking to leaving it to be set? 10 minutes? Half an hour?

Settings...should I pick one out before I pick my pearl?

I think someone has said that you leave for about an hour to have the pearl set. Is that correct?

Thanks in advance to anyone who has any answers!

You will go to the registar (near the pearl stand, but not at the pearl stand) and pay. They will give you a ticket. We were number 3, so I don't know how it is handled when it gets more crowded...and it does get crowded. When they call your number, you select your oyster. Then they shuck it and present you with your pearl. The pearl gets bagged and I believe it was given to us. We went to the side of the stand and were helped by another girl to select our jewelry. We did three oysters/pearls and in total from pick to paying for our pendants, it took about 15 minutes. But, we had already figured out which oysters we wanted and the girls had pretty much decided which pendants they wanted. We were told that our jewelry would be ready in an hour, but they were already working on them when we were leaving.

I would go as early as possible. I can get really, really crowded and I'm sure the wait can be quite long.

Thanks Jaci! That is very helpful! I want to make sure I know what I'm doing when I get there, so I don't waste time. I feel much more prepared, and DH will appreciate the details for planning!

I have not done this yet, but I think we'll go ahead of time and pick out what setting(s) we want and then go back later.

can you buy your pearl in one location (say, japan) then take it to another location (like DTD) to have it set in a necklace? (if the selection there is more appealing to you)

according to responses earlier in the thread, yes you can do this!

thanks - good to know for the planning!

Do they by any chance have a setting that is male-ish? I ask as I have twin daughters, and I had wanted to let them each get something for themselves. But, I was also thinking of letting them pick an extra pearl and have something made that they pick out themselves for their Nana for Christmas. Knowing them, they'll ask about grandpa too. So, I was curious if they had tie tacks, or money clips or something?

Thanks in advance.

I tried to scan through this long thread to find some answers, but I gave up!

1. Does anyone know if you can bring your own setting? I lost a pearl a few years ago out of a setting that I love!

2. Are there loose pearls too, or just ones still in the oysters?

3. How can I get my hubby to surprise me with a new ring?? haha We are going to WDW on my birthday next year and I just so happen to be a Gemini and pearl is my birthstone! Anyone wanna email him for me? lol

I'd love to know as well, my boyfriend just got a job that requires him to wear a tie most days, and I'd love to get him a tie tack if they have something like that!

i get a pearl every time i go to wdw. i think what they drill a small whole where the belly button of the pearl is then glue it to a small peg on the setting. i love them and always enjoy picking a pearl even though the wait can be a little long i think it is worth it

I am so excited to pick a pearl for my mom...she's not into disney all that much but this will be the perfect gift for her, a memory for me to have picking the pearl and her being able to wear it and think of me!
