Glueing diamond to watch face by [email protected]

Could I simply super-glue a spare, low quality diamond in the missing space? There's probably a "correct" way to affix a diamond to a watch...

Niobium Wire by Charlie
I'm after Niobium wire (1mm round) but the only source I've found so far wants £70 a metre for it. Is this what I'll have to pay for it? Or is there a cheaper source? I've never worked with Niobium before but I love that bluish colour! Also, can you solder Niobium? Charlie.
