    Old fashioned pearl setting according to the books, I have never
    tried it, uses a pin split down the middle with a wedge just pushed
    into the end,the hole in the pearl is tapered wider towards the end
    so when you push the pearl in it pushes the wedge into the slot. 

    No chance to get it off though! 

Tim.
