[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 9764902, member: 51"]Thank you, Mirana. :) It's a good suggestion to reverse the adapter, I actually tried it that way first but then reversed it for the following reason.

Now it is sticking up, but the bail from the adapter is next to it, so maybe will sort of block the pin. I didn't think about the C clasp being a danger of opening, but that's a very valid point. Hmmmm. Clever idea about using a rubber earring back. The gift recipient can play with this. She's pretty smart, and who knows may figure out a 3rd possibility. I am officially obsessed with moss agate now.
