Adhering Pearls To Earring Posts - Which Glue To Use?

I need to replace the earring posts on a pair of pearl earrings (flat back pearls). I'm wondering what is the best glue to use for this? I haven't glued pearls before, so I'm not sure what is usually used.

I'm hoping I can use a glue that I already have, since I do not live in an area where I can buy specialty glue.

Here's what I have:

2 part epoxy
E6000
Weldbond
Tacky glue
(I think I also have some krazy glue)

Thanks for any advice! :)

For pearls I would use the two-part epoxy. Just make sure your mix is perfect.

Thanks, lifeart. :)

I used the 2 part epoxy, and it seems to have worked fine!
