With gravity the loop holds the bottom section and there is even that little broken lip that keeps the ring in pretty well. I can even giggle it a bit and it holds.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, since that back section<i> is missing</i>, there is a danger that if they caught in your hair or similar, and pulled upwards bringing the loop to the opening, well the bottom sections could fall off. So something needs to happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>Closing that gap is the ticket.. but there isn't pressure on that area. You'd just be creating a fail-safe to close that opening.

[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 4497297, member: 51"]I'm positive some fix is doable. The Jade loop hooks in nicely in it's current state, and technically, one could wear the earrings already. With gravity the loop holds the bottom section and there is even that little broken lip that keeps the ring in pretty well. I can even giggle it a bit and it holds. However, since that back section[I] is missing[/I], there is a danger that if they caught in your hair or similar, and pulled upwards bringing the loop to the opening, well the bottom sections could fall off. So something needs to happen. Closing that gap is the ticket.. but there isn't pressure on that area. You'd just be creating a fail-safe to close that opening.
