| Thanks for the suggestions. I hadn't really been thinking of the leather-through-the-pearl style since I knew the drill hole would be too small, but I didn't consider trying to find someone to do it locally. Could I expect pretty much any fine jewelry shop to have a drill available? I was thinking of making a double wire loop through the pearl and attatching that to two short leather pieces (one on either side) which would then meet at a clasp opposite the pearl. Does that make sense? But then I wouldn't know how to attatch the leather cord to the wire loops, or to the clasp (at least without making big ugly knots). |
