pick a pearl setting

Gorgeous pearls That second setting is just beautiful

 

[dolphingirl47]

I was at WDW in June and pickED 2 pearls and had them set. Overall it was really fun. I think it's more fun to do it in Japan than DTD.

This is my first one. It's a cream 8 1/4mm in a cage setting. I had the prices written down somewhere but lost it. This setting was around $20. I also bought a chain because I didn't have a chain I liked.

This is the second one. It's a 7mm pinkish pearl. You can't really tell the picture but it does have a pink color. This setting was more expensive it was $30 - $35.

Gorgeous pearls and settings

We stayed at the BC in March and never saw a pick a pearl place. Can someone tell me where it is located. We want to pick a pearl twice in Oct and the BC/YC might be a good choice for one of the picks.

TIA

I have those two settings as well. I thought they were really pretty.

I am wondering, my dd got silver twins last year. If I bring them back in the same bag will they set them in earrings? How much are earrings? Thanks

Never thought I would say this about pearls, but WOW!!! I like the look of what I am seeing.

I think I might get my DH to buy me one when we are there in December.

Just one quick question, can you get settings made in yellow gold?

Is there a pick a pearl place at DTD or just at the Japan pavilion? TIA

 

[PatRin]

There is one in DTD too, but according to earlier posts Ive read they have less of a selection of settings and they dont have a little show when they open the pearls. My friend and I are definitely going to go to the one in Japan.

It's outside in a kiosk behind the hotel.

I'm pretty sure they do. They have a wide selection of jewelry. I stayed in the sterling silver because it's what I could afford but also what I liked the best.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has posted about this. Even though I was only able to read the last 10 or so pages of this thread! I did order two carriages for my dds and one ball one for a pearl I've had for over 10 years when I went to Sea World here in Ohio (which is now gone ).

These are wonderful ideas and I can't wait to get my daughters' their pearls and then put them in their necklaces!! they are 7 & 5 yrs old (and a 1 yr old...but she can wait for hers until she is older) and will just absolutely love this!

This is our first trip for our family and I'm so very very excited!! We are keeping it a secret until the plane ride (October) and this is the only place I can talk openly!!! Well except with my dh...who is tired of hearing me talk about it every second we get alone!

Thanks a bunch for spreading your advice! Much appreciated!

This has probably been asked on this thread but has anyone ordered a cage from outside of Disney (ebay or somewhere else) and the pearl you picked didn't fit? I would love for my DD's and myself to get to do this when we are there next month.

Do you remember about how much it was?

I already bought both my DDs and myself the carriage cages, but my one DD's birthday is St. Patrick's Day, so she might prefer something like yours-- or maybe we might pick an extra.

I don't remember the exact price but it wasn't expensive...we were on a budget lol, it was about $20-$30

 

[mistee]

my pearl is a little big for my carriage but still works!!!!

I thought DTD had a nic selection of settings but the lady doing it had the personality of a slug!!!!

We did it at Epcot and it was a blast,, we also did it outside beach club and that lady was soooo nice.. She went into deptail w/ Us about pearls , how to tell real from fake,, we were there a long time talking to her..

the pearls were the hightlight of my last trip

Tip for picking a pearl....

Several years ago, we were in DTD for an all girls trip. I decided to do this and was told by a bystander to pick the ugliest one. I did. My pearl was 9 mm. It's beautiful. The person who shucked it did this whole birth ceremony and told us that this pearl was from a boy oyster. Don't know if this is really true but here's the sentimental part. I had been an infertility patient for a loooong time and had given up. Three months after this trip, I found out I was pregnant with a little boy! I love that ring and will always remember my "special moment"

I know this is SO old, but it made me tear up! What a beautiful story! We are headed to WDW in less than 2 weeks and I can't wait to take my kids to pick a pearl!

You can get the oysters on ebay if you need a fix inbetween WDW trips too. I'm always over there looking for new cages because I;m on a mission to get a pearl from every place in the Orlando area and I prefer cages (although I've had a few set). I found a really cool cage that lets you stack four pearls, but it actually comes with three different colored pearls already, plus an oyster in a can that you open yourself at home. Should be interesting to see what I get. It was $16.99 which is cheaper than just the pearl at Japan and the other places.

Just so I am clear on what to expect money-wise. You pay the $17 for the pearl and then pay for your choice of setting (if you choose to have it set there). Is there also a fee for them to actually do the setting/drilling/glueing or is that included in the cost of the piece that you choose for your setting?

Thank you!

No, the cost of setting it is included in the price of the piece.
