But, it's a bit late. I _thought_ I had figured out what I needed to do. I needed to mold a piece of wire or head pin and squish the little metal holder tight enough to keep it in place and let it twirl. Then it happened! I broke the metal holder off! So.. now I KNOW there is nothing I can do. Fortunately I warned the owner that I might do additional damage if I fiddled with it and she still gave me permission. :-)

Lucky ya warned her... I was about to say, looks like it would cost more to fix it than replace it.

Tell her to take it back to the store. I had the same thing happen to a pair of white gold hoops I bought from Wally World, and I took them back and got my $$$. Didn't see any use in getting another pair just like them. Besides I had broken up w/the guy that bought them anyway. LOL
