    Sadie, First, remove the pin the holds the clip to the base and
    remove the clip from the base. Next silver solder the base to the
    back of the earring. Then re-insert the clip into the base and then
    push the pin through the holes in the base. Usually this pin has been
    crimped on each end when it was manufactured. You will have to
    re-crimp one end to hold it in place. Another technique, if you have
    a Little Torch or similar, is to use a #2 or #3 tip and with a small
    oxidizing flame, bead up the ends of the pin. This give you a
    cleaner, smoother finish. Joel
