To keep it from coming out you can always use the eraser from the end of a pencil. It won't show and will do in a pinch also the rubber backs from a pair of earrings will also work. Had to do the eraser thing once in an emergency. LOL great auction
Lovely! The other way to get the endpiece for the pin , is find a thrift shop/ flea market or Church sale and look for another stickpin and take it off that one. If you win this contact me , I probably even have one kicking around!(I can give you) and I'm going to post one soon on here((just gold filled not as beautiful as this!) but I think it's to nice to take it off!But you can buy a stickpin too and switch the the bottoms back and forth as you wear them. Some people also use cork, but it's pretty bulky
