Ask the Experts Pendants Q&A

If the half-drilled pendant findings or screw eyes are too large, what is a good substitute?

- Katie, WV

Eye pins or short lengths of wire with a loop formed on one end are good substitutes when glued into place. To find the right glue for your project refer to the ''Glue Types and Information'' chart with video, as well as the ''Gluing a Half-Drilled Gemstone or Pearl onto a Peg Earstud'' FREE video how-to and illustrated instructions.

Also, consider that holes can be enlarged using a bead reamer or pearl reamer.
