Am planning on making some turned earrings in the next week and will be
drilling a very small hole through to attach the ear hardware.

while the bit is stationary or turn the bit and hold the wood?

Owen,

I frequently make earrings and the like that require tiny holes, and
have honestly found that using a pin vise is more than adequate for
this size hole, in even the hardest of exotic hardwoods. Maple is no
problem at all, and using the pin vise gives you very precise control.
Takes literally seconds to drill holes even an inch deep.
