Thanks, Annette, for sending this image! No matter how it was done, it was a huge amount of work. It's hard for me to imagine that this could be successfully set if all those points were stitched together at the start. (Does heat damage pearls? I suppose they could be fake ones made of glass.) So I would guess that these are either pearl-headed pins, or that the lady was willing to pay to have it stitched each time after it was set.
