Drilling pearls
Article Abstract:
Methods of drilling pearls are discussed. A piece of suede leather is usually used to help in cushioning, and fingers are used to grip the pearl. The best spot to drill the pearl must also be determined, since this will depend on its shape, type, and quality. A jar of cooling water is also needed for dipping the pearl and drill bit. Other details of the process are also presented.
