Hiya, So, I've been playing around with my new pearl drill today (one of the cheap chinese made ones that drills from one side and 'flips' the pearl 180 degrees in a clamp) and need a bit of advice on technique please! Before I started, I read through every thread on drilling I could find, but...

Hiya, I've been reading a bit about the Hong Kong shows and was wondering if anyone can answer a few questions for me about attending these? I really am a novice in this field so apologies if the answers to these should be obvious to me! 1) Can I attend if I don't own a business? If not...

Hiya, Just wondered if anyone has purchased from the above? I'm hoping to be purchasing one of their cheap pearl drills for a bit of drilling experimentation and fun, and noticed that they do lots of 50 undrilled pearls which I thought might be good for drilling practice so was wondering if...

Hiya, Well, I'm very new to the world of pearls and have just started knotting some freshies to gain some experience. I fancy having a go at a tin cup style necklace and saw these on e-bay - thought they might do for a necklace / bracelet first endeavour, but I have no experience of keshis, so...

Hiya folks, I'm new (as demonstrated by my post count!). Hello everyone! I've always wanted a pearl necklace and bracelet, but could never justify buying them. However, I'm off on a Cunard cruise later in the year and thought that might be the justification I was looking for, so I started...
