Drilling


Drilling


Drill holes must be made with care and precision. An inexperienced operator can split or ruin the pearls with careless handling. A hole drilled even slightly off-center can ruin a necklace or piece of jewelry that depends upon the symmetrical assembly of it's pearls. This stage in preparation of cultured pearls for jewelry is a very delicate operation.
