If you don's have a Dremel tool, you can use a very small regular drill bit. Just be sure you have it flat against a firm surface (wood block) when you begin to drill or it will crack the shell. I did this for many years until I discovered the Dremel tool.

you can pierce a shell with a fine solder iron or wire .
Also a fine drill or awl can be used
with the smaller shells the solder iron usually does the job
i love shells and they look great in a necklace
I use the tiniest shells as spacers.,
though pearls or glass beads are nice too

A dremmel type hand drill with either a carbide (grinding) tip, and a high speed, or a very fine Glass/tile drill will work.
I have heard you can "burn" a hole into them using a fine pointed soldering Iron, but don't know how well it works, or the smell.

get a small power tool made by dremel or something similar. they have small diameter diamond carbide drill tips and a 10,000 RPM motor. it will drill through a beer bottle if you want to, and is very handy for small repairs and crafts.well worth the 50 dollar price tag.

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/zxv1W
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.
