Hi Terry,

This morning I nuked the pendant and earrings. One of the pearls from the earrings came off very easily but the other two did not budge.

I nuked them another time and no success either. On the pendant, the metal cap attached to the pearl got very dark, as if suffering from fire scale. After the third nuke, the pearl came off the pendant along with the metal post. I suspect the post was already broken and stuck in the pearl when glued. The pearl from the second earring will just not move.

At what power are you nuking and for how long? I used P100 for 49 seconds.

The nuked pearls are none the worse, from what I can see. They even have a bit more luster, if that's possible.
