<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marie Forjan, post: 642991, member: 147&quot;]If the converter is shorter than the pin stem you can thread beads on the pin stem either side of the converter so it stays in the center. </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as flopping over, it may when the pin stem is in the middle of the back rather than the top of the back.

The problem with attaching a bail is that whoever does it has to know what temperature will attach the bail and not ruin the costume metal. Also, the heat would damage the stones so it is best to remove them and place them back in once the bail is in place. This is all time consuming and probably would cost more than the value of the pin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why not revive a trend and wear it as a pin?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
