    I have a few pieces of jewelry made with irregular stones as you
    describe. Some are Afghan and one is American Indian. The stones are
    set in bezels, more or less. Trick seems to be that the bezels are
    done in fairly thin metal -- even serrated in a couple of cases --
    to make pushing it around the irregular stone more easily
    accomplished. The bezels aren't really clean and neat and this
    setting technique probably wouldn't work too well on a ring but
    should be okay for a pendant.
