pick a pearl setting

[Procrastinate]

I checked the pearl factory website and the lowest priced settings that they had available at DTD the day I was there are the gold lava flow pendant at $40, gold drop pendant with diamond at $90, and gold wire shell pendant at $119. The online prices are the same as DTD. There are a lot more on the website than what they had at DTD, so I don't know if they were sold out or they don't carry them. I don't know how many they had above the $119 pendant. After viewing everything online, I am still happiest with the one I got. Unfortunately, I am not seeing the pictures on everyone else's posts. I sure wish I could!

DTD does sell chains, in yellow gold. I did the pick a pearl in the first week of July. We received a large gold pearl. (3rd rarest to find) We picked out a heart shaped cage pendent and a gold chain, all yellow gold. It was/is beautiful. We gave it to my sister for her b-day.

That sounds nice. Do you mind sharing an approximate cost for the whole thing?

Does anyone have a photo of one of the Cinderella Carriage Cage pendants to share? It seems like these are really hard to find these days so I want to be sure it is worth the search. Thanks.

Thank you so much! That is totally different (and cuter) than the other ones I had found.

I saw those on ebay but was wondering about how big of a pearl it would fit. The listing only mentions "oval shaped" pearls, while the ones at WDW are round pearls. I just want to make sure that if I buy them for DD and I that our pearls will actually fit in them!

I think DD would love to do this when we go.

Really stupid question...but are the oysters alive when they pry them open? Eating them is OK, but I kinda feel bad sending someone to his/her shucking demise! It's sort of like picking a lobster from the tank at Red Lobster - can't do it!

I thought they were pretty awesome!! They are what changes my mind about doing it at all!!

When I get them I will post info about them. I have a friend who works in a Jewellery store so maybe she could help figure out what would fit.

I will keep you posted!!

Here is the same seller with an active link - there are "more than 10 available".

**Please note I can not attest to the integrity of this seller I have not received my items yet**

Also, I realize they say oval - but I figure for $3, I can give it a try - LOL!!! It ust mught be worth it

I leave in just under 2 months and can't wait to do this. We where in Disney 2 yrs ago and saw a stand/kiosk at the Kingdom over between Splash mountain and The tree house but it was crowded so I didn't do it and then forgot.

Then when in vegas last August we saw this going on too but it was to dang hot to stand out in 110 degrees for about 30 min. still waiting your turn. Now it will mean more in Disney.

Our total cost for picking the pearl, the heart cage and the long chain (I think it was a 22" - 24" chain - for a Pooh sized girl) came to $188.00. They are yellow gold and just a FYI the gold chain is warrantied for life. If it breaks bring it back and they will fix it. The lady who helped us was named Jen, and she was great.

Just got my Cinderella carriage pendants today from ebay and I LOVE THEM!! My DD loved it too. I got matching ones for the two of us. We can't wait to do the pick-a-pearl now!

I bought them last year, from the exact seller. My DDs did 4 pearls between them - 3 pearls were 7mm and one was 7.5 mm. We didn't even try to put the 7.5 mm pearl in the cage, as they are small (the coaches). With the 7 mm pearls, it was a tight fit. However, the way the cage is done the pearls can get in there. The cage may not close all the way - but you really can't tell. And as the chain goes through where the cage opens, you don't lose the pearl.

I hope that makes sense.

I know I posted pics last year of what ours looked like - but here it is again. The pink pearl on the tie tac was the largest of the 4. But I don't think you can tell that the coaches are not closed all the way.

Thanks for the photo again

The first time you posted it I could not figure out why you would put a pearl on Nail Clippers - man am I having a "dumb" day!!!

(Can't believe I just admitted that - hope the Tag Fairy does not come on this thread - LOL!!)

These are great! Where did you get the chains and are they silver or gold? Thanks

That is hilarious! I am sitting at work goofing off - just laughed loud. I never thought about it looking like nail clippers. LOL.

My DD wanted to make something for grandpa. And that tie tac was $60 all by itself. That made up 1/2 our Pick a Pearl bill, just for that setting.

The chains came with the coaches - from ebay.

I was at JC Penny's last week, and they have some silver necklaces that are guaranteed not to tarnish -for 50% off etc - really great prices - (around $25 I believe - I went to jcp.com and couldnt find them!)

Thanks for posting the links and pictures!! $12 for 10 Mickey cages?!!
