Hi folks,

    I have a pair of broken amethyst briolettes. They're broken at the
    tip where the drill hole was, so most of the stones are still
    intact.  I'm thinking of fabricating a little cone to cover the
    broken part with a jump ring soldered to the top - would glue hold
    these together well for say a pair of earings?  What glue would
    ya'll recommend, or would epoxy be better? 

    Thanks from Dawn in an unusually chilly April morning in central
    Texas.
