pick a pearl setting

[mom2faith]

We just got back and did the PaP on Saturday August 29. We could not be happier with our experience.

Here is a video of our experience, and below is a photo of DD and I wearing out Pearls in our matching Coach cages.

***PLEASE use Clear Nail Polish on your cage!! I have only worn mine a few times and I see some wear in the spots I did not get that good with Nail Polish. Iam going to keep protecting them to ensure they last longer.

DD got a 6 3/4mm and I got a 7 1/2 mm (I did not know until I read the bag, it is so hard to understand her!!! LOL)

how much does a ring setting cost. i really really want a pearl ring!!!!

This was one of the first things my daughter wanted to do during our trip last week. The sterling silver ring setting she chose was $49 (just over $52 with tax).

Hold up. What is this Cinderella carriage pearl cage you speak of and where can I find one?

I ordered my coaches from here (for 90 cents each, but you pay big for shipping.) http://www.topearl.com/wg43-18kgp-wi...e-p-14044.html

See my posts #1010 & 1015

I also ordered other designs, so the total cost averaged out pretty cheap.

I then ordered silver chains from here: http://www.dreamlandjewelry.com/

I was happy with service and products from both companies.

I got my cage from Ebay for 3.50 each - shipping wasn't bad - of course I can't remember how much- LOL and they are NOT high quality of course - exactly what you'd expect for the $ - but they are DARN cute!

OK tell me one more time...there are 3 places to do this?

Japan
DTD
and Boardwalk?

Where exactly in DTD & Boardwalk? I wanna choose the best place- we won't be hitting Epcot this trip - so now gotta figure out which of the other 2 places is the best (most fun- best experience)

It's actually at the Beach Club not the Boardwalk, behind Stormalong Bay. I found that one to be very expensive. I looked there the last time, and I don't remember the exact costs, but the least expensive setting they had was well out of my price range.

Ok so I have read about putting the clear fingernail polish on the carriages to stop them from tarnishing but here's a question. Can you use clear paint, like the clear spray paint in a can? Does anyone know if this will work? I was thinking about this and thought that the paint would maybe stay on the carriage longer than the fingernail polish. I am a little hesitant to try without putting it out there first to see what people think.

previously on the 1000+ posts, but if you get the carriage off e-bay, your pearl may not fit in it. I purchased the Carriage Cage--so dang cute!!! Anyway, my pearl size was 8.5 and too big to fit in the carriage. The carriage would not close completely. The woman working at the pearl stand (DTD), said I would need a fairly small pearl to fit the cage. I ended up buying a stainless steel cage for $25.00..

Now I need DD to pick me out a small pearl next time. The lady at the stand said when you pick the pearl, and before they open it..to say the Hawaiin word for hello Hello....Aloha (sp?), and the louder you do, the bigger the pearl would be. Well, DD (6) yelled it, and go figure, we get a huge pearl. I told her next time she needs to whisper it into Mommy's ear so we can get a little one..

Hi Ladies! We leave in 5 days and I can't WAIT to do this......thinking of having each of my children pick a clam for me......that being said, are there any "double" charms/carriages that would hold 2 pearls??? Sure hope so.

What a great experience for you and your dd. My dd (17) and I want to do the PaP as well. Where did you get yours--Epcot?

Thanks!

We did this last week during our trip. It was a fun experience. I ended up picking a blue pearl - it is so pretty. I had it set in a silver ring. They drilled the pearl and glued it in. It is delicate and a wonderful memento of our time. We were in Epcot and the girls at the counter couldn't have been nicer. Fun!!!

When I picked my pearl this past May for my birthday I had already picked out a ring but ended up getting an oyster with TWO pearls. I changed my ring choice to a ring that held two pearls. I do not think there is a carriage that holds two pearls but there might be a charm that will hold two pearls. They suggested I make earings but I already have a pair of pearl studs so I did the ring.

Yes, it was Epcot Japan. They were great!!!

DD loved it (and I did too!!!)

 

[luvmyfam444]

[Kurby]

i did it at DTD at a location just outside Capt'n Jacks 5 or 6 years ago.

they didn't do the "ceremony" but it was still nice

I saw another PaP location in blizzard Beach, they have a pearl shack. there is a small bucket of ice that you choose your oyster from. They have some pretty things already put together for a pretty penny!

I picked a 7mm bright white and my DD choose a 7.5 slightly pink for our carriages. I think anything over 7.5 would be too large for the carriage in my opinion. I also had sterling cross cages and more like a 6.5 would look best in it.

My friend with us picked a light silver and a dark silver one!

Hi. I have a question... is the carriage pearl cage sold on ebay a suitable size to wear on a charm bracelet (with lots of other charms), or is it so large that it needs to be worn as a pendant on a necklace?

Thanks!

I went on a spontaneous trip last week and picked a pearl in Japan! Except, LOL, I was in China thinking I was in Japan at first, DOH - Bad me!

Finally, straightened myself out -

Picked a 8 1/4 pearl - white pearl, and put it in the silver slide necklace setting someone else had shown above. I'll toss a picture up later - about to run out the door.

Setting cost $30 plus tax - and yes, I picked the ugliest one I could find. Was completed in less than 20 minutes.

Cheers, Deb

I am looking at one now, I'd say it is 3/4" X 3/4". You'd need to find a little metal circle to close it and connect it to the bracelet. I think it would be cute!
