Do It Yourself Pearl Necklace in a Tin Kit

If you’re looking for a romantic gift for your loved one that’s a little more original than your average gift and is sure to make a lasting impression, what about this make your own pearl necklace kit?

The kit comes complete with the necklace and a tin containing a single oyster which must be removed and dissected in order for the pearl to be gained and the item of jewellery duly completed. Quite whether oyster dissection will set the scene for a passionate evening of frolics is quite another question, however.

The type of pearl your tinned oyster provides could be one of five colours, from white, though beige and purple to black with each type symbolising luck in a particular aspect of life with black, for instance, symbolising love.

Certainly a gift that offers something a little more original than a wilting bunch of flowers from a petrol station, this Do It Yourself Pearl Necklace retails for ¥2604 excluding tax and shipping (roughly $21 / €16 / £10) and can be purchased via this Japanese outlet (link provided is to English translation for your convenience).

Incidentally, if you’re looking for a unique gift but this item does not appeal, then you may be interested in this Silver Earth Worm Bracelet or any one of these particular items.
