    Sourcing replacement "vintage" pearls

    Hi Cathy! Seriously! I have asked her about his necklace for maybe a decade (perhaps a *slight* exaggeration - maybe its only been 8 years), and she has always said that the "pearls are unique," and so is the setting, and her advice always pretty much boils down to a "good luck with that" lol...

    Thank you for the response! That is very useful info. I am new to this and want to make an investment in a pearl drill, but I'm not ready to go all out with an expensive Japanese one. I am looking for a relatively inexpensive (so most likely Chinese from what I've read here) drill that will work...

    enlarging drillholes without breaking the pearls

    Hi Pearlescence, Thank you for all of your informative posts!
