At Custom Pearl Inlay you will meet David & Nadine Nichols and right behind them, you will be greeted by the smiling face their close friend, Lee Mulverhill and their inlay artist, Kief Sloate-Dowden. You will also meet many "drop-in" friends and past students of David's. Old friends and new friends alike drop in from all over Canada as well as the United States.
