pick a pearl setting

[kycanonist]

I looked on page 100 and I saw a lot of ring settings for two pearls, but does anyone who has been recently know if there are settings for a pendant with two pearls?

For those who got twins - where they very large, ugly, hairy oysters, or just ugly hairy?

For those who got colored pearls, what was your secret - ugly? hairy? beauty spots? A combo of the above?

I know nothing is guarenteed, but DD will be turning 13 at WDW & she has asked to do this & I know she would LOVE one which was colored.

Not sure if anyone has posted a picture of this one yet, but I got a 6 3/4mm last month and had it mounted into the oyster charm. We did have an 8mm that my DD had received but it was really too large in the pendant.

I already had a silver chain with me.

I have this one.. It's really pretty.

That is soooo pretty! How much was that setting?

I want to say around $20ish? If you get a small pearl, it looks better... The setting is not very large.

We did this last week. I bought two Cinderella carriage necklaces off the internet for about $9 total. Had them hidden in my suitcase and on Epcot day took the family there to do this as a surprise. The necklaces were meant for my wife and daughter but my mom was there so wife told me to give it to my mom and get her another one. It was a great moment and meant a lot to my mom and daughter. We also got a pearl for MIL so we ended up buying 4. Got 3 whites in the 7-7.5 mm range and my wife got the biggie - 8mm silver pearl. It's beautiful.

I am soooo excited to do this with my DD3 next month.

I've ordered the carriage cage (one for her and one for me!) and plan to protect them with a coat of clear nail polish as recommended here.

For those of you who have done this, do you coat the entire cage -- inside and out? Any other tips would be great!

TIA!!!!

Page 56 posts 837 and 838 shows two of my double settings. I have another one that I'll try to photograph and post for you as well.

Karen - How much was the one with the leaf and two pearls? The one you said was your favorite? Because I LOVE it!

DD chose the one on the left, and it truly looks very nice.

I've been reading through a few pages of this and it got me really excited to possibly get one on my next trip. However, I really don't think I'd be able to go through with it if they kill the oyster just so I can have a ring.

Its been dead for a long long time.

What do you mean by that?

 

[fakereadhed]

Oh here we go...

Oh, I guess I see where this is going. I saw earlier in the thread someone mentioned that they heard that the oysters were all dead and they placed pearls in them. I thought she meant something like that.

Na I just meant that you can order vacuum sealed bags of oysters with pearls in them from China. I've seen one of the bags and the oysters were closed shut and put into some sort of clear liquid that kind of smelled like alcohol.

I'm assuming they know there is something in them, I don't think they place pearls in them. (I mean they could, I don't know). It's just that you aren't killing it when it is pried open you know?

Yes, it kills the oyster.

This is not correct. The oysters are alive and you can clearly see that when the shells are cut. It is also obvious by where the pearl is located in the oyster that it isn't "added" but actually grows in the oyster.

some of the things you read on the DisBoards......don't know if I should or

Okay I pulled out my receipts from that trip. The one with the leaves (my fav!!!) was $49 and the other one was $44. They were purchased in September of 2008 on our trip for our 25th anniversary!

And let me add that I also bought a chain there that day for $15.50 but when I came home I also bought another small box style chain so there was no chance of losing those pearls!
