what's the process of aging a pearl without reluming it?...

the insert was aged via the bleach method?...what's the proper mix of bleach and water?

Torch it a bit. Just a tiny bit

That might be a little too much torch

I use a burning cigarette held close to the pearl. Works well for me...

As for the insert: I have had good results with 50/50 water and bleach. That way you have a bit more control over how much paint you bleach off at each go.

But I have found out that different inserts react differently and that not all brands of bleach are equally strong (my preferred bleach is Magica Blanca, but it might only be sold in Latin America...
