does anyone have a trick for un-attaching pearl snaps?

i attached both sides of a pearl snap on a tote bag, as a finishing touch. and i didn't realize until it was too late that the stud and the socket are two different sizes! (note to self: do not keep "assorted" snap pieces in same bag.)

now i need to get one of the sides off, so i can put the correct size pieces in. they won't fit together as-is, and since i made this tote as a special order, i can't just scrap it.

any help or ideas are much appreciated!
