I bought mine pre-cut in Australia. So that won't help. There's got to be someone around. Have you checked out the tutorials on StewMac? That might just be for engraving.

use a jewelers saw, they make one with a spiral blade, then sand it. it is hard though. i hate cutting pearl.

oh, and where a mask cause the dust is pretty bad for you.
