Hi Laurie,

    I would suggest soaking the bracelet in acetone to remove the epoxy.
    It should loosen the stones enough that you can safely pull them off
    and then remove any excess epoxy carefully with a soldering pick or
    other sharp object. This is how we remove pearls from gold rings in
    our repair shop.
