pick a pearl setting

[dato63]

I went & am back. I'm glad I read the information/tips on this thread. I had bought 3 necklaces before I went from ebay. I bought two Cinderella pumpkin coaches for my DDs (the were about $5 each with chain), I bought one with two dolpins (about $10 w/chain) for them to make/give to my stepmother for Christmas. I also bought a tie tac setting from the Japan store for a Christmas gift for my father.

The only downfall to my plan was that the Cinderella coaches did not hold large pearls. My DD Makayla got one that was pink, but it was too big for her necklace. Thankfully that didn't bother her at all - she loved the pumpkin coach, and she made a tie tac for my father with the pink pearl. And my DH smiled at the thought of giving my father a pink pearl (inside family joke).

They have two tie tac settings. One is just the pearl on a pin, and it was $9.95. The one we got was a tie tac bar - and the setting was $59.95. So I spent about $120 for one tie tac setting ($60) & 4 oyster/pearls ($60).

The women there couldn't have been nicer if they tried. And they made the occasion very special. They even helped get the pearls into the necklaces we brought with us - and gave us gift boxes for them. They ooh and aah'd over the pumpkin coaches. I thought it was very sweet.

The Coach necklaces are adorable. That's so nice that they helped you with them and gave you gift boxes for them. I leave on Friday and pick a pearl in Japan is on my list of things to do

I have a saved search on ebay entitled "Pearl Cages", and so every few days I get an updated listing of what is available. I plan to leave my search out there in case different ones come up - I'd love to find more Disney looking ones for our next trip. Make it a tradition. The women in the Japan store told me they are not owned by Disney, so can not sell Disney looking jewelry. Made sense, a shame - but made sense.

I can IM you the seller information where I got the pumpkin coaches if you'd like. Again, the only downfall was that they do not hold large pearls. The ones that the girls did put in there were 7 1/4 mm. They fit, but the cage isn't closed 100%. Since the chain keeps the cage closed, they won't lose their pearl & it looks great. The pink pearl was 7 3/4s - so we didn't use it in them.

That would be great if you could PM me with the seller info. I tried multiple searches and no luck. We are leaving on 12/5 and that would be a wonderful surprise for our girls. Thank you so much. Those are so awesome!!!

I have not posted pics before, but I think "most" people use photobucket. I hope you find out because I'd love to see them.

It took me a bit to figure it out. But I uploaded the pics to photobucket - and then used the icon that looks like a postcard to link it.

I think my DD would get a HUGE kick out of this. We are going to WDW and on the Disney Cruise. We will be going to Epcot. Looking at these pics the settings look great. But I'm thinking it would be nice to have a more disney like setting. Do they have those in Japan?

thanks!

I have a silver "cage" necklace with the pearl I got.

I'm definitely going to be picking 2 to 3 pearls on my upcoming trip. One for me, one for mom, and one for Dbro's gf. I'm hoping one out of the three is a blue/silver kind of pearl. I love those and I think they look great in the silver setting! Will post pics upon my return (12/20).

 

[TeamTinkerbell]

okay, so mine and DD11's plans have changed. We were going to WDW next October, but now we've decided to take Disney cruise instead at that time. I believe I've seen that this is available on the cruise or at least during the cruise. Can someone tell me about it? How is it set up and where do you have this done????

 

[disfamily5]

it's a sad day today...The pearl fell out of my ring and it is lost forever...I had only had that ring since May and it was ectremely special to me...I am going back to Disney in January and I am debating on getting another one

We went this past monday and got one oyster which had twin pearls inside. I thought this was rare, but just in the time we stood there and picked things out 4 other oysters had "rare" twin pearls inside. Oh well.....it was fun to get 2 pearls. We picked out earings for my MIL.

We went 2 summers ago before we got married and my DW picked out 3 oysters and used them as the earings and necklace for our wedding. She got lucky and got 3 really large sizes. They turned out beautiful!
