How do I remove this earring post from the back of this type of earring?

A friend asked me to fix these little turquoise stud earrings (that were her grandmothers).

A friend asked me to fix these little turquoise stud earrings (that were her grandmothers).

One of the earrings was missing a post , so I need to replace both posts so they match.

It looks like the posts were glued /epoxied with some brown gooey stuff.

How can i remove the old post without hurting the turquoise? what should I use to adhere new posts?

Thank you for your help! Jennifer
