    Beachstone jewelry
    I am looking for someone who can create some casual jewelry from beachstone I have. My current issue is that most jewelry drilling tools are not able to drill stone of this composition. I know the stones could be wrapped but I am thinking of configurations which would require drilling.

    Does anyone know of a jeweler who has worked with this type of stone before ?

    Scott...

    Would a drimmel drill not work?

    If not, then how about a bench press drill with smaller, tougher drill bits?

    I was able to find a local jeweller with a hobby of lapidary who had the tools at home to work with the stone. Most jewellers will not want to use their normal tools on this type of stone.
