pick a pearl setting

[allshookup]

Where are the carriage cages sold and do they tarnish?

I don't know, but I heard if you put clear nail polish on them it keeps them from tarnishing so that's what I did. Didn't seem to hurt so maybe it will help? I also bought a real white gold chain to go with the carriage because the one it came with was too short & I was afraid that definitely would tarnish, especially wearing all day around my neck in Florida. Also I will be doing the pick a pearl next week, so I'll let ya'll know how it fit in the carriage cage.

YAY ordered my carriages today!

I tried the carriages with a 7.2mm round pearl that I had sitting around and it fit very well with room to spare. It's said that these will fit up to an 8.0mm round pearl. So no worries, your carriages will work!

thanks...I tried my Maui pearls tonight and they fit fine. I am excited to pick a pearl at WDW now...I bought 2 sets and am doing it with my Sister.

I just sent the seller of the carriages a message to see if he will ship to the UK. I really want to do pick a pearl this year and love the carriages. I want two, one for me and one for a friend.

If the seller doesn't ship to the UK you could ship it to your resort & have it there waiting for you

I would love to get twin pearls in an oyster to set as earrings, but the odds on that seem high. Has anyone here ever gotten them?

We bought pearls for our Daughter In Law and two Grand Daughters in June at Japan in Epcot. I repeated what I had read on the Disboards. Choose the hairest, ugliest oyster in the tank. They all did. 1 was 7.5 mm, one was 8mm, one was doubles (twins) 6.5 mm each. Beautiful pearls. They set them in necklaces and all loved them. One of the girls said she was going to keep hers forever. It touched my heart. I consider the pearls the best thing we bought our entire trip.

Got my carriages today!! LOVE THEM!!!

The EBay seller was amazing!! I tried to order matching chains and misread the description. I accidentally ordered Gold chains for my White Gold Carriage Cages, she was going to do an exchange for me at no charge. For $1.50 per chain, I said no that is OK. I just bought the right ones and will keep the others - you never know when a chain will come in handy .

Anyhoo, I highy recommend this seller!! 2 weeks shipping to Canada, great customer service and I love the carriages!!

Here is her store link: http://stores.shop.ebay.ca/CjS-Jewelry-Design__W0QQ_armrsZ1

This site has the coach cages for cheap, but you have to buy 50 of them @ 90 cents each. If you sell on eBay, I would buy 50, keep some and sell the rest.

I bit the bullet and ordered from here. Will let you know what I think when I get them. Even though the site says min qty of 50, I tried a lower amt and it was processed with no problem. I ordered 10 of the carriages, and some other designs.

I ordered on Sunday, it was shipped out on Monday. They gave me a UPS tracking number. It arrived in Alaska this afternoon. I guess I should be getting it in a couple of days.

I bought the carriages (6 of them!). They are ABSOLUTELY adorable and insanely affordable.

I am using one of the carriages for a 2.5 year old. This will be her second necklace, the first one she pulled on and stretched out the wire under the pearls.

Any suggestions on how to string hers? Would a cord be weird?

I am so excited about this! I had no idea that it even existed (saw nothing about it on the sites I'd been looking at...or might've missed it) so thank you all!

Is the location for the Pick a Pearl in DTD still the same as it has been reported from other years? Since that seems to be variety of settings. And I believe it has been asked before in this thread - but I can't seem to find the answer, so I apologize for asking it again. Are you able to pick the pearl itself in Epcot, and then bring it to DTD for a setting?

You can go to Downtown Disney for the pendant setting, they have beautiful hawaiian settings in 14K white or yellow gold starting @ 29.99 and they give a lifetime warranty on all their jewelry.

Got my cages today. (Ordered them Sunday night,they shipped from China, received them Wednesday.)

They are really nice looking. I have to go find loose pearls that I got in the past and try them out. They are gold plated, so not sure how long they will last. I do need to find a good source for silver necklaces now. I could have gotten a chain for 50 cents each, but I didn't want a GP necklace.

Most of the items were 90 cents, I got a couple that were $2.80. Shipping was about $17 from China to California. I got 20 cages for $38. They updated me at every stage of the order/shipping process, so I can say that I was very happy with this company. I paid with Paypal.

I am thinking of bringing my own setting for when I pick my pearl. Will they use my setting (I didn't know if you must purchase one from them for it to be set).

I have been looking at settings. How exactly do they do the setting? Is it glued, do they drill, etc.

When a pearl is properly mounted it must be drilled and sits on the post. You can take it to Downtown Disney and pick a pearl to go on it but it must have 1 post in the middle of the setting! Hope this helps you!

We just returned from Disney World and picked a pearl in both Japan and the Pearl Factory in Downtown Disney. I found that the pearls at the Pearl Factory had more luster and the presentation between the buyer and the sales people (Laura and Pam) was more personal and fun! In fact, we went back and picked two more pearls from Downtown Disney because of the quality and service!

Thanks Diane I absolutely love my job and creating those special memories! Pamela

OK, I have looked at the last few pages, but my eyes are going buggy, I'll never make it through 68 pages. Can someone take pity on me and answer a couple questions? 2 years ago, we were there, and since we stay at BWV, I walked past the kiosk by Stormalong Bay numerous times. It seemed to me all their settings were quite expensive. Do you know, are there more affordable selections in Japan or DTD? I seem to recall reading that after we got home.

Thanks!!!

Which shipping method did you choose? I am still waiting for mine, hopefully they will arrive next week.

I could only afford the "around $20 price point" and at Japan I got a SS heart pendant - with the pearl drilled and glued in the center - I LOVE my necklace!

Like I said earlier - I went to JC Penney's and got a SS necklace (one that doesnt tarnish!) and brought it with me to Disney!

I need to take a picture of it - but its been awhile so I'm really not sure of how much I paid for it!! (3 - 4 years - but I found more SS choices - less expensive - at Japan than the others - DTD was beautiful, but limited, as was BC area... ) There's just a higher turnover in Japan! imho Definately more space for more options!
