Repair suggestion for a pearl earring?

[secretagentlaura]

Not particularly expensive, but my 20YO daughter has a very cute pair of earrings with keshi pearls from Monica Vinader (these ones). The pearl and the earring post have become unbonded recently, and I was wondering if anyone here could recommend an adhesive product that she could use a drop of to bond them back together?

She's looking for a DIY solution as she doesn't live somewhere with a Monica Vinader boutique nor does she think she speaks the local language well enough where she goes to uni to approach a jewelry repair person. She still wears these earrings out, which makes me nervous!

Thank you for any suggestions!

This is the glue that is recommended by jewellers.

Concur with @Bron357's recommendation.

I would recommend having some tooth picks/needle/sharp object to hand, and low lint wipes such as those for cleaning glasses, to wipe away any excess glue before it hardens.

Good luck with the repair!

Great suggestions - thank you! I would not have thought of them all!

I know! I'm sure that I visibly paled when she pointed to the earring in her ear when she was visiting last week and explained that it fell out often!
