[QUOTE="quirkygirl, post: 314766, member: 106"]Those are pretty, Chris. I especially like how the tiny silver beads (that are scattered around the marcasites), look to be functional - holding the small stones in place - and not just decorative. I wonder if the author of what you were reading was perhaps referring to pierced earrings with a threaded post and a screw back, which were/are sometimes used on small high value earrings (e.g. diamond studs) as a safety measure to prevent losing them.

I do :) ... although the non-pierced varieties come with a time limit ... after which, my lobes start yelling at me.[/QUOTE]
