Bezel set a diamond into a pearl

[chaplin37]

I was wondering if anyone knew the best/strongest glue to use to bezel set a diamond or gemstone into a pearl? Thanks

I just use jewellers epoxy. I think the trick is to drill a hole deep in the pearl and use a twisted wire post attached to the bezel.

Do you happen to have a link to this bezel with the twisted wire post so that i can buy one? Thanks so much for the info i do appreciate it

I would just make it. I dont think any suppliers carry it that I know of. You can just buy a bezel or make one, solder a cross bar inside the bezel, put some square wire in a vice and twist it with pliers. Alternatively I guess you could buy a bezel earring with a screw back post, it might work just as well.
