    I have some small (5-8mm), mostly ovoid but irregular, naturally
    tumbled stones from a creek bed that I want to include on a silver
    pendant for a clan / tribal look, but I am having trouble finding a
    good way to mount them. I want something that is, or at least looks,
    primitive or ancient. I do not want to wire wrap the stones, nor to
    change their shape in any way. I've looked around but cannot find any
    detailed, applicable information on how clan / tribal cultures may
    have mounted stones to metal, especially irregular stones. Does
    anyone know where I might find such info? If you know offhand how
    they did it or have some suggestions, great! I also don't mind at all
    doing the research if all you have is a source. 

Thanks for your help!
TC
