The pearl is held within a groove by the tension of the metal. I based my measurements off the pearl which is about 6.5mm wide.

First I marked the pipe with marker. I followed that mark by scoring a line with a pipe cutter. Next I used a carbide bit to cut the initial groove. I expanded the groove with a round hobby file.
