| Re: Pearls in Japan? I'm not sure about the place in Mitsutoki in Japan....but the other Pearl "factories" around WDW charge $12.99 for "pick a pearl". We did them at Typhoon Lagoon and had a wonderful experience. A fellow from Hawaii really played it up with our kids. We ended up spending quite a bit more by purchasing settings for the pearls afterward. -HiddenMickey     |

| Re: Pearls in Japan? It's also $12.99 in the dept. store in Japan. The lady doing it really made a big deal with the kids - she measured each one and rang some kind of gong if it was a really big one. The real money comes into play if you want to have it mounted in a ring or necklace setting. |

| Re: Pearls in Japan? <font color="blue"> This sounds like fun! I didn't know they did this. My niece just loves my pearl necklace. She keeps asking me if she can borrow it. She's five and my answer to her is when she's older.  </font> |

| Re: Pearls in Japan? In May, my DD got a large pearl and they made a big deal about it in the Japan store. We went to a jeweler here and had it set. He appraised the pearl for about $90. If we do this next time, how much are the settings at WDW? We paid a lot at the jewelry store. Thanks! Atotty |

| Re: Pearls in Japan? I wish I could remember exactly what the entire cost for getting the girls necklaces was, but I remember it was one of the most reasonable trinkets we bought on our trip. I want to say for "diving for the pearl", a simple setting and gold chain it was less than $30. My dds had such a good time doing this! Their necklaces have become a cherished reminder of their trip....much more than a Mickey t-shirt!!! karen |

| Re: Pearls in Japan? I got my Pearls in Waikiki(in 2001) for $12.99 also. They also did the clanging of the bell. I was lucky, my pearl is a black/purplish-grey color. Definitely not white! It's so neat!!! I was tempted to check out the Pearl Factories while at WDW(they seem to be everywhere) but didn't want to spend more money on something that wasn't Disney! LOL!! Wendy |
