Gee, I don't know, Jeremy - maybe if you guys were more experienced, I'd take the chance, but I spent a whole 30 cents on this pearl, and I'm just not sure I could risk something happening to it....
Honestly, though, if I do decide to go that route with it, I'll probably just look for someone here to do it. These are supposed to be quick little token gifts and I'm not sure it's worth the time or postage to send it out your way. Worst case scenario, Dave gets a box of candy instead of a bracelet.
