The pearl kit includes the mollusk in a can. The 18″ sterling silver plated pendant cage and chain. A spatula. A small sheet of easy to follow instructions and safety guidelines. A plastic baggie. And a small wish pearl booklet. Grab the tab (shown below) in the center of the loop and open the pendant. The pendant unhinges like the picture shows. I’ve been selling pearls for over 20 years and I have never seen a pearl come out of a shell before. Let alone, being able to remove one myself.

Finally it emerged from the mollusk. How cool. I was smiling from ear to ear (the open mollusk actually looks like ears doesn’t it?). I ran the mollusk under tap water carefully. It was so cool… Like a seashell on the beach. The markings and color were incredible. The sterling silver plated chain is 18″ long. The pendant measures 22mm high by 12mm wide. Not too big, not too small. Just perfect.I tried to push the pearl out with the spatula. No go. It only rolled around inside the insides. :) I grabbed a knife and like a surgeon, spatula in one hand, knife in the other, I cut a small sliver and pushed the pearl free ( don’t slice the pearl surface). Grab the pendant from the wish pearl box. Remove the sterling silver plated chain from the loop before you do anything. You can’t open the pendant while the chain is still on. The booklet is fun all by itself. It talks about the different colors of pearls and their meanings. Read more: Pearl color meanings. Included in the kit is a little plastic spatula (see picture above). Grab it and push it into the gap. Pry the mollusk open. It looked so cool and creepy at the same time. I loved it. I’ve never seen the inside of a mollusk before and I found it fascinating. It was like something straight out of a horror movie.

I was expecting a horrible fishy smell to overpower me, but actually I didn’t smell a thing (I didn’t put my nose that close to it…) It’s worth every penny. The experience is priceless. Adults will love it. Kids will absolutely adore it.The Wish Pearl Pendant Kit makes the perfect gift for Graduation, Mother’s Day, Birthdays, Anniversaries or any special occasion.

The instructions tell you to drain the liquid out, but don’t discard. The mollusk may have naturally opened and the pearl may be in the liquid. It also talks about pearl wisdom with different cultures; Dravidians, Hindu, Chinese, Israelites, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Christians and Royalty. Pretty cool stuff.

Success!
