I'm going to be setting some rather large teardrop pearls with a 14K gold eyelet to attach to some leverback earrings. Found some nice weighty ones from Stuller's.

Prior to making pearl stud earrings, I investigated glue and settled on a two-part epoxy that takes 24 hours to set. If I don't have a glue board around, I'll set the pearls in a little cup of salt to hold them upright.

I've seen jewelers use a drop of super glue....and I've had those super-glued pearls pop off their posts in my own personal use.

What have yall found to be the glue of choice for holding power?
