Oh have I got something for you! I have a lot of them without the holes. And some are really beautiful and to big and thick to drill with a Dremel. I will try and scan them to show what I mean. Harry New Zealand Paua Shell at

Thank you very much. :) Harry New Zealand Paua Shell at

OK... these really thick pieces I have to break and do again, because they have fracture cracks in them. Grrrr. But here is 17 pieces I scanned for you to look at:

Gorgeous! And they have holes - they're beads. :) I think the shells would make really nice chandelier (sp?) earrings, which are really big right now.

I have scads of sea glass and have yet to do more than wrap some. Can we see some of what you do with yours?

I just did these a short while ago and wanted everyone to see them. I tumbled these myself and have a ton more but without holes>

whooooaaa! those are cool!

the beach glass are neat too --- drilling holes in glass is no easy feat either - how in the world did you manage those tiny holes?

your glass that yoiu put on the page. I am guessing beach glass? You had the paua first, then 2 pics of glass that was drilled. Either that or it was *extremely* clear Paua?

I like that sea glass A LOT!!

I am wondering what the limits will be with my shells as far as how thin and how many holes before they would break. Never gave that much thought, but I know they would weaken just an an egg shell would if to much support was removed. I will have to experiment.

I hope I don't burn it up before I can find more. I have a link to a site to buy some, but not really sure what size. lol I am going to try and measure this one so I can get the same thing back. I agree... drilling glass is not easy, but I will admit... it was a very rewarding challenge I gave myself to proform.
