<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 344602, member: 5833"]A jeweller will probably have other, maybe better ideas, but I am imagining something that is basically A-shaped, with little tubes on each foot to slide it onto the pin stem, a cross bar for stability/sturdiness. It would be sized so the apex could just slide under the upper rim as the pin was closed again.
