And how are they attached. I am again asking about not beads but a ribbon choker. I cannot figure out how to attach the centerpiece / pendant, or whatever it is called to the middle of the ribbon. Here is a stupid question / comment. I saw earrings that I would never buy as earrings, but thought the piece would be good as pendant, could even make two necklaces out of them, but can't think of how I would attach it to the necklace. Also didn't know about cutting the earpost wire off if that would look bad (could file it down I suppose). Just after comments here about this. Thanks.
