Ask the Experts Earring Settings Q&A

What type of earring settings can I use for an undrilled pearl? I have a pair of perfectly matched pearls and I hate the setting they are in. I just want to reset them so I can wear them. They are approximately 4mm.

You can reset your pearls in a 4mm Bezelite earring setting. Place the pearl through the back of the setting and adjust the prongs with chain-nose pliers to keep the pearl in place. Learn more from this video with instructions: "How to Use Bezelite and Bezelite-Style Settings"

You can also glue the pearls to a 3mm earstud with cup using Loctite 454® Gel adhesive. This adhesive bonds instantly, dries clear and is extremely strong.
