    I thought they looked familiar! Check out my John Milner Redwedge in the custom builts and restorations! I really like Hobby Lobby! Just me and lots of women in there!

    A quick check w/ the lovely bride, and my hand now holds perfectly suitable examples. I checked Hobby Lobby, but would have to order online or drive 168 miles. Bride says she got them at the jewelry and bead shows. They're sterling. I'll have to figure out how to peen w/out smashing the decor. Thanks again, Mastershake.

    Those "beads" work well for a decorative third pin as well...just ensure your monkey tail will clear.
