Dremel? Thanks for being brave enough to to attempt. Very tough to get the Pam pearls right.

Yes, it was mini-Dremel rotary tool and the "white thing" was one of felt polishing bits. I assumed that the pearl is luminova mixed with a resin so I will be able to flatten it and felt tool will matte it the same time and I was right

Very good result mate. Maybe you can protect the luminova with a matt acrylic enamel

Probably no need to - the pearl insert is just luminova powder mixed with some resin glue (like two-components glue or something). Removing / matting a top of it did not changed anything except the look. Most of cured epoxy resins are doing just fine when contacted with water.

For the Dremel, what RPM setting did you use? I have to imagine it was low but....

did you use the tip pointed straight down or the side of the felt buff pressed against the pearl?

Tip pointed straight down, little force.
