How Much does it cost to Pick a Pearl?

Last week, when I bought my pearl voucher to pick a pearl it was $17 ($15.95 + tax).

This is the bracelet setting I had mine put into at the Maui Divers pick a pearl in Maui. My son picked the oyster and it had a beautiful pink pearl. They also let him pick another one for free since I bought the setting and it had 2 white pearls in it, but we didn't have them set yet. Last year when we where here I picked one at the Hilo Hatties here in Maui and it also had 2 white pearls.

This bracelet is so pretty and the pearl is just gorgeous.

Here are the pendants I got for my mother and I.
Hers is the white one and mine is the purple one.

The purple pearls are really unusual.

My son and I went to Maui Divers again and picked a few more pearls, so I could get a ring for Valentines day. I ended up getting 2 rings and lots of extra pearls.

We did this last Monday (11/15), DS and DD picked an oyster for Grandma, and I picked one for myself.

The one DS and DD picked revealed a 8mm silvery-blue pearl. The CM's made a BIG deal over this.

I got a plain 7.5mm cream pearl, which I choose not to set. I think I was a little jealous of Grandma's pearl.

GORGEOUS! Can I ask how much the ring setting was?

I bought 2 of the Carriage necklaces off Ebay last week! I bought one for my mom and one for myself. It took us a while to figure out how to get them opened but my mom finally figured it out!

I ended up buying 3 more last night for 3 friends of mine that have birthdays in Feb. One lives/works at WDW and the other 2 go to WDW at least once a year so I thought the necklace and a gift card would be a great gift and they can use the rest of the gift card for food or other souvenirs!

I'm glad to see that they were $17 because I didn't know how much of a gift card to get but $25 should be good IMO!


DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE CMS WILL PUT YOUR PEARL IN THE CARRIAGE FOR YOU OR WILL YOU HAVE TO DO THAT YOURSELF??

The other 2 pearls I have I made into a ring and necklace so they of course did all the setting work + the special flower bag to put it in when you don't wear it.

Just open the cage and drop them in, then put the cage on the chain. There's no need for the CM to do it.

I'm pretty sure I read on this thread that taking your own mounting wasn't possible. Something about liability issues?

Have fun!

I don't know about the rules at Japan in Epcot...but you can definitely bring your own setting to the Pearl Factory. DD had lost the pearl from her gold ring and we brought it along on purpose. She picked a pearl (which we paid for) and they set it in her ring at no charge. This was at the Beach Club location.

I've always wanted to do this and definitely will next time I go back I will probably make a ring and necklace for myself, and something for my mother, but I'm not sure what yet..

The Cinderella Coach ones? They are not sterling silver... just "silvertone" or "silver-plated". I tried finding sterling silver as well and couldn't.

I did find posts last year from people who said they coated the Cinderella Coach with clear nail polish before using them.

The ones I got were white gold plated. *

This is from the listing:


These* are*ADORABLE*18K WHITE GOLD PLATE**CARRIAGE PEARL CAGE

*These are really great to show case that special pearl, crystal *or bead.*

Will hold 8X10mm oval pearl, crystal or gemstone.

I see a lot of talk here about the various settings available where you get the pearl but (so far....I haven't read all 105+ pages) I haven't seen any prices for the settings that they sell. Does anyone have any info on this?

I just purchased the carriage on ebay...looking forward to getting it! But now I'm worried...what if I pick a pearl that is too big for it?? That would be a bummer...

When I picked my one pearl at Typhoon Lagoon, my friend thought hers was really small and the CM offered her to trade it up for another one but my friend declined (and made it into a ring) so I guess if you really wanted to "trade it up" for a smaller one to fit inside the cage you could (at TL at least). I think hers was a 6. Both the ones I have picked in the past have been 8s+ so I'm a little worried too but we shall see I guess! Some one else posted that even if they don't fit inside the cage perfectly, it's attached to the chain so it shouldn't fall out.

Has anyone gotten any of the other pearl cages (besides the carriage) from the eBay seller? I would love to see pics of others!

 

[PiperPizzaz]

can u use your disney rewards card to do this in epcot?

I am pretty sure we used ours when we did this.

When I was little my family made some trips to Sea World, and I still have a little box with 12 pearls, one is in a silver cage (that's not really my style). I wonder if I could look at mountings for any of my pearls I already have and get some jewelry made at Disney.

I loved doing this as a kid (surprised that my parents let me do it that much!) and I think this would be a ton of fun to do on our family trip.

Thanks for this thread! I only surfed to page 5 but love the pics!!

My original post #1508 is on page 101 of this thread with a photo of the settings we bought and their prices. I think $9.50 is the cheapest setting they do and that was for the plain setting I chose, or for mobile phone charms. All of the settings we bought were sterling silver.
