Hello,

Any advice on how to swap out the pearl retainer and pearl on a 16613/16808 insert? I want to change the gold retainer with a silver (Or white gold if that is what it is) along with a new pearl. Any insight on how to do this?

I know the pearl simply snaps in, and some use a but of glue to hold it, but does the retainer snap in place as well?

Thanks!

pretty much just be careful not to push too hard or you'll distort the bezel or crack it at the top. Rikki
