    I have to jump in here and agree. I have use marine epoxy to glue in
    pearls because so many women will get earrings and rings wet in the
    shower or pool. The marine epoxy takes longer to set but I haven't
    had any pearls come unglued. Five minute will definitely soften and
    let go when it gets wet. I also lightly score my posts with a pair
    of cutters to create a mechanical lock.
