Freshwater Cultured Pearl in Oyster Kit

There has been so much hype around opening oysters to find the pearl and place it in a beautiful pendant that you can keep with you forever. I was so excited to get this package and be able to see what all the fuss was about.



In the package I got a canned oyster and a really cute pendant and chain to put the pearl into. When I opened the can with the oyster...the smell...ugh. Ok...it wasn't really that bad, but it was not the best. The oyster is preserved in water an alcohol so you do not get that dead fish smell which is a good thing...trust me.



The oyster was really easy to open. I just used a butter knife and it popped open with ease. The pearl was right in the center so it was very easy to spot. I instantly noticed that it was not round, but tear drop shaped I guess is how I would describe it. I was confused because I thought all pearls were round, but I guess it is just Akoya pearls which are round and this one was a fresh water pearl. No biggie!




Now, let's talk about the chain and pendant. I absolutely love this setting. It is a cage setting so there is no need to drill the pearl to put it onto a setting. It is made of .925 sterling silver so it will not rust. The cage was easy to open and the pearl fits in there nicely. I really do love this set and would consider buying from this company again.
