    Elizabeth, I would get some nails of the appropriate diameter to
    super glue your stones on to.  First find the right size nail. 
    Second grind the head of the nail flat and grind off the point of the
    nail.  A silicon grinding wheel in your flex shaft will do the
    grinding.  Super glue the stone to the nail.  I would glue the top of
    the stone to the nail so that I could fit the stone into the bezel. 
    After the grinding is complete put the stone and nail in acetone and
    in a couple of hours the stone will be loose.
