When I stumbled across something called a “Wish Pearl necklace” in a shop in Singapore earlier this year, I was so intrigued I brought one home.
If you too are wondering, what is a wish pearl necklace … well for starters it would make a great gift idea, as it’s much more than just a piece of jewellery, it’s a fun experience (just Google “wish pearl” and you can buy one online for around twenty bucks).
A wish pearl necklace comes in a kit: it includes a real oyster shell containing a pearl; the necklace; and a guide to the meanings of the different coloured pearls that you might find.
The idea is that the recipient makes a wish before opening the shell and removing the pearl (but I can’t remember what wish I made so can’t tell you if it works or not! Unless I wished for a better memory in which case it definitely didn’t work, LOL).
I took photos of each step of the process of creating my wish pearl necklace; the shell was quite tricky top open so the hubster had to do this for me!
Inside our Wish Pearl Necklace Kit
Inside we found a peach coloured pearl, meaning “health”. Miss 19 promptly absconded with it and the only time I’ve seen it since is when she wears it! I don’t know that it’s brought her health though, as she sliced a tendon in her left hand recently – maybe that’s because she nicked it 😉 ?!
Oh and she’ll probably kill me for sharing this photo as I don’t think she’s wearing any makeup – shock horror! 😉
Have you ever come across a wish pearl necklace before?!
These are beautiful. I’ve never seen them.
I hope her tendon has healed.
Come and link it up 🙂

Thanks Trish, it’s healing up slowly but surely and she’s getting movement back which is the main thing!
How lovely and it would make a perfect gift for Christmas.
I think they’re such a cute idea!
I’ve never heard of these before but it looks so cool! I might have to look them up because it would make the perfect birthday present for my sister.
I’m sure she’d love it 🙂
I wish I looked that good with out makeup! WOW!
This is such a pretty idea. I think maybe I should get my mum this for Christmas. Thank you!
Glad I could help!!!!
Wow, I loved reading that and seeing the pics. Not so good about Miss’ sliced tendon. Is she better now? Denyse
Thanks Denyse, yes doing well, it was so worrying when she couldn’t move her finger at all. She should be back at work after Christmas!
How interesting I have never seen this before would make a great gift too 🙂
Do you think Miss 19 wished she hadn’t borrowed it now heheh! although a sliced tendon isn’t much fun 🙁
Have a memorytastic week and thanks for pirouetting by 🙂
