Pendants are safer than rings, regarding coming free from the post. Rings get bumped more. And, because they project from the ear, stud pearl earrings can get worked off the post by holding the telephone between your ear and shoulder. That's why I like dangle earrings for pearls.
Rings that have metal coming up the sides of the pearl are much safer than rings that have the pearl perched on top of the ring. I hope this makes sense.
