pick a pearl setting

[ducky_love]

My ODS can't wait to do this & take home to his girlfriend after our trip. He wants me to order one of the Cinderella Carriage cage. But I know his GF loves horses. Anyone ever seen one that's a horse of some sort?

At Epcot they have a horse shoe design. I belive pics are on page 116? (Or close to page 116... )

Question for those of you that have picked a pearl:

Can you get the pearls with a hole drilled completely through without purchasing a setting? I have a local craftsman that makes her own pearl rings. I would like to pick a pearl and have her mount it, but the pearl must come to her with a hole drilled completely through. Any ideas?

I think they would do it if you asked - tell them you want to think about it, or get it set later, can they please just drill the hole?

DD has picked several pearls, and hasn't had any of them put into settings, I wished she had the holes in them tho...

JC Penneys - Chains Just thought I'd add that I was at the mall yesterday and JC Penney's has chains that are silver that wont tarnish, 50% off I believe - - and I'd get 18" for an adult, 16" for a child

for those looking for a simple sterling silver cage. I bought 2 from thebeadhouse.com. look under silver beads. 2 sizes. My 16 yr old daughter loved hers and wears it all the time. Nice cage

I asked last year about drilling completely through so I could have them strung like a traditional string of pearls and they said they could not do it. I believe the machine they have is set to only drill to a certain depth in the pearls so they can't get put on anything other than a straight pin setting. Only other option would be no drilling and tucking into a cage. I was really bummed because I love doing this but am running out of settings there that I like!

Thank you for sharing your experience... it makes sense... to have the drill set at a certain depth to fit their settings.

Does anyone have any experience with ordering a setting off ebay? I'd love to pick-a-pearl as a birthday gift to myself this year but am unsure if I'm willing to pay full Disney price for the setting. Could anyone recommend a seller or ebay experience?

I don't - but FYI I put pics & prices on page 116. They aren't really "Disney" prices.

Oh, I love the Pick-a-pearl in Japan! I've gotten a ring and a necklace and am hoping I'll be back soon for more! I know that they glued my ring and necklace, but I'm not sure if they drill or not. Also, I don't know if they'll use your own setting; I would bring it just in case, and ask them when you get there! The last time I went, the price was around $15-$16 for the pearl, but it could've changed since then. Plus, a good tid-bit that helped me pick a good pearl was that you have to pick the ugliest, hairyest, ickyest oyster and the prettiest pearl will be inside! Hope you have a great time!

I originally mentioned this. As the cages come from China and they are still allowed to use Nickel in jewellery, I do this to make my cage safe for me to wear as I have a Nickel allergy. It also has the added advantage that it protects the plating.

I got a size 8 ring when I was there in November. I have fat fingers too!

 

[travelcharm]

Both Japan and DTD carry ring settings in a size 8. Japan also has them in a size 9. I have big fingers too.
