Original Message:   I tend to agree with you!

In general terms I would not try to redrill a bead to enlarge the perforation. This causes breakage—particularly in crystalline minerals, like amethyst. Agate can be tougher. But my approach, when it is needed, is to abrade the perforation. I use a jewlery saw mounted with very fine blades, or with abrasive line. It is arduous work. But if you have to do it, it is possible. Jamey Copyright 2025 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
