Securing Half-Drilled Briolette?

by Autumn.
(North Carolina)

I purchased some beautiful top half-drilled briolette quartz beads today.

I want to make earrings from them, yet I do not want to use glue of any sort.

I personally just don’t like glue; and I had bad experiences using it with knotted pearls.

I’ve “screwed” a steel bail into a half-drilled quartz before and it broke a chip off at the hole, so I’m hesitant to go that route again without advice.
