What if the piece contains pearls or semi-precious stones. Can it still go in the tumbler?
yes, just be careful if the pearls are fragile, and what soap you use. Sometimes I put the piece in with the semi-precious stones alone first and then complete it with pearls or fragile beads after I tumbled it
