Hi Preswine,

If your pearl is both prong-set and glued (without drillhole) the latter will only stabilize the pearl in its setting, i.e. prevent it from spinning in the mounting. The great difficulties of ungluing a pearl particularly refer to epoxy-glued drilled pearls. If you want to mount an undrilled pearl, prongs and glue will be the safest way.
