What is a half drilled pearl?
Half drilled pearls have a hole running through the pearl stops at the centre, so it has been drilled only halfway through. This means that the pearl can be set onto a peg or piece of wire from the bottom, where the hole cannot be seen and you get a nice clean, smooth finish.
How can they be used?
Half-drilled round pearls are most often used in jewellery making, for pearl stud earrings or rings. In appearance they are identical to a full-drilled pearl, however they are missing the hole on the other side. To set a half-drilled pearl onto a wire piece or peg, squeeze a tiny amount of E6000+ glue into the hole if you can, or dab it onto the peg, then push the pearl onto the sticky peg until you reach the centre where the hole ends. The half-drilled hole offers a nice neat finish as it is concealed by the jewellery finding.
