Hi Gang,

>     Another great idea for pearl posts is to take square gold wire and
>     twist it using a writing-pin style vise grips (sold through Rio). 

    There's really nod need to use a vise grips. A pin vise or regular
    pliers works just as well. Clamp one end of the wire in a vise &
    grasp the other end in your tool of choice, pull & twist.
