    I am not an authority on pearls, but what I like to do is make the
    pearl peg out of square wire that I have twisted. This turns it
    into, in effect, a screw. If the fit is snug, you can screw the
    pearl onto it, and the "threads" leave room for the glue so it isn't
    all squeezed out when you put the pearl on the peg.
