Help with making a pair of earrings?

Question

I have two very nice looking black pearls that are tear shaped.  I've been looking for an earring finding (or posts) not sure what you call them that I can glue to cover the tip of the earrings so that they dangle down like chandlers.  Not the best description I know but if any earring experts are out there and could recommend a site that has such earring supplies I would appreciate it.  I've looked at a lot of websites and I can seem to find something like what I'm looking for.  Thanks.

Are the pearls half-drilled or fully drilled (aka the hole span the whole pearl from one end to the other) ? 
1. If half-drilled, then you need to buy a pair of bead cup with pegs, apply glue to the peg and insert into the half-drilled hole of pearl. then hang the cup(now attached to the pearl) on any earring component of your choice(post, lever, french earwire...etc).
2. If the pearls are fully drilled, buy a pair of headpins. String one of the pearls onto a headpin, make a wire-wrap loop with the protruding headpin. Again, dangle the finished pearl on earring component of your choice.
