    After scratching a large blister pearl while setting it, I took a
    (oh, what the hell)! chance and used ZAM on a felt buff with a light
    hand, and the result was as good as new. The surface was not even
    dulled! I doubt that this would work with lesser quality pearls with
    thin nacre as one would probably polish right through it, but with
    Fresh Water, and thick nacred pearls, one would no doubt have good
    success.

    visitors...
