    Bradley, One possible solution, providing the drill-holes of the
    pearls are big enough, is to find a way to reduce the size of the
    holes by using something like wood, card or even metal (?) collars
    that slide into the drill-holes. Very labour intensive and probably
    not worth the time with many pearls, but this technique was and still
    is used in India and the Middle East to reduce the size of large
    drill-holes in natural pearls! Something to think about? 

Regards - Nick
