Ok, so I've managed to get the pearl off pretty easily by soaking for about a minute in very hot water, but now I'm left with the problem of quite a bit of excess glue stuck to the post as well as the cup that won't seem to come off. I'm guessing I have to soak it in something now, but don't...

No...definately not fully drilled, it's sitting in a "cup" and I'm assuming it's drilled on the bottom. Will remove the pearl to verify for sure!

Here are some pics: The diamonds aren't of good quality, but they are so small it looks nice from a distance. I really like the overall look, I just hate the pearl! Strange shape, blemishes, squashed look, and Blah color. I'm thinking of replacing with a Freshadama pearl. No movement with...

Thank you for the response! Any tips for removing the existing pearl? Also, the current pearl is about 9-9.5 mm but button shaped, I would like to replace with a round pearl, should I err on the smaller or larger side to have it fit in the setting do you think?

I have a pearl ring and I really like the setting but hate the pearl (button shaped, blemishes on the lower half,etc). I'm thinking of taking the pearl off and replacing it with a nicer pearl. Any tips/tricks for me here? I have read about heat methods for removing the existing pearl and...

I love that bracelet too! The design is simple and elegant, I have always wondered what one of those looked like on! Thanks for sharing :)

Wowee wow. Those earrings are stunners! Love SoC pearls :)

Wow, that is one stunning ring!!! Gorgeous!!!!

^^Well, pics please! There aren't enough SoC photos around here!!! :)

My avatar is a SoC mabe ring, and I understand what you are saying about the "mother of pearl" look. (my picture really doesn't do the SoC mabe justice, I was wearing it again this week and almost rear-ended someone while staring at the color changes while I was driving!) A bit more satiny and...

^^I saw this on the designers thread and wondered what it would look like on...even better than I imagined!!! Just beautiful :)

Gorgeous~~~I would love to see how this looks when worn :)

I concur, looks good!!! I think either size chain works too :) Pretty tahitians!

I did this with a tahitian pearl, 24g wire and cable chain, it turned out looking nice! I would suggest the finer wire?

What a great idea!!! I love the design of these earrings, very clever way to set them! They look great on you, not-quite-straight or not :)

Ohhhh, beautiful! I love this!

It is so thoughtful of you to take the time to put so much research into a gift for your wife, lucky lady :) I am sure she will love them!

These are so beautiful, I really gravitate towards lavender/purplish pearls. I would love to see a shot of how this looks on! (pretty please :))

Wowzers!!! That is one stunning necklace!!! I too often wonder why I don't see many others wearing pearls!

Oh, and only a very few left, so there's that anyway! I'm guessing some fellow beaders here grabbed them up!
