Oldie but goodie from @maxwellharrisonjewellery: use a wooden clothespin as a gentle clamp to hold a pearl earring in place while the epoxy cures. A hole was drilled to insert the earring post into one side of the clothes pin, it's soft wood and light pressure help keep everything secure while the epoxy sets.
