Hi Mike! You mentioned making a bracelet for a man that included a pearl. Couldn't you mount a pearl on gold or titanium, or use rubber? It could be a wide band or cuff. I did a google search for images of mens bracelets. I thought these two sites had some interesting bracelets. There were many other sites.
