[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9763492, member: 79705"]I have seen a handful of early 20th c brooches where the tiny ring does have a tiny bail attached, so it is sometimes a possiblity, but with orientation of this one getting "on bottom" compared to the pin hinge, I'll agree this one is for a safety chain. I love the different varieties of agate. I want a moss at some point. This one is beautiful! The pin adapter is a fantastic solution. For max safety, I would slide it so the hinge is on top, and then get one of those rubber earring backs to slide up the pin needle after the converter.
