Hi all!

    I have got a question concerning a very special earring I saw
    recently. This earring was basically made of metal sheet (gold) and
    a wire for holding the piece in place at the ear. To make it clear I
    have made a small sketch of it. Please take a look at:
    http://www.sabinea.com/ohrring/ohrring.html 

    What I would like to know is, how is this earring closed. I looked
    at it from front and back and there only was the sheet and the wire
    through the ear hole. At least I did not see anything else... The
    problem was, that the earring was worn by a lady on an exhibition and
    I did not want to bother her with asking after her jewelry. So, does
    anyone have an idea, how one could make something like this? Or has
    anybody made a earring like that and would let me know how the clasp
    works? 

Thanks in advance!
