I have a load of fresh water pearls with tiny holes. I want to be able to thread them with .8 or .9 mm silver wire. How can i enlarge the hole wthout breaking them. I dont have a pendant drill just a dremel with the usual attachments
thanks

You can get a drill bit specially for pearls on Cookies. It works a treat.
