[QUOTE="stracci, post: 2702652, member: 13814"]Yes, check etsy. If there is a gem/mineral store in your vicinity, try there, too. You need a "half drilled" pearl. There are several pearls choices. Akoya pearls are from salt water, and will be a bit more expensive. Freshwater pearls are much more common, and you can probably get several for only a few dollars. If the width of the cup shaped recess is 5mm, then I would say to get a 5mm and a 6mm pearl. Freshwater pearls are cheap. Get both, just to see which one will look right.
