I considered making them open at the top, annealing them, and then using an adhesive to attach a silversmithed cap with a ring attached, but I do love the sealed capsules.
If I were to do something like that in the future, what would be the best glue to use? Is there anything out there that really lasts?
And what type of glue would you guys recommend for glass-glass contact for such a stressed part of a pendant as the top ring?
Thanks!

I have used a UV cure Loctite product for this in the past. These can just be left in the sun so no special equipment is needed. Cures water clear so you cant tell it isnt done hot. I will check the Part number when I get home tonight and post it.
