[Jewelry making - Article 00159] - [Orchid] Correct way to put a pearl on a ring

[JSEllington]

    I have made a couple of rings that seem, in principle, and to the
    eye, correct. I want to ask though because I don't want to sell a
    ring and have the pearl come off. I used a cup and peg that is meant
    for an ear stud. I drilled a hole in the table of the ring and
    soldered the ear post into the hole and then cut it off on the back
    side, leaving the cup and peg on the top of the ring. I used Epoxy
    330 to secure. Is there a better way? Will these pearls be apt to be
    stable on the ring?
