As the name might have suggested, once you have located a Pick-a-Pearl station, you will definitely be amazed by the large tank where you can see several oysters at the bottom. Here, you can then pick an oyster to purchase and the staff will open it up and allow you to bring it home. As with what you can do with the pearl, you can choose to keep it as it is, or you could mount it onto a piece of jewelry, either it can be a ring or a necklace.
