    Easy question --  how do you know exactly where to solder the post
    for an earring concerning weight distribution, etc.  I have had the
    occasion, especially on earrings with stones or heavier metal
    designs where the customer tries them on and they droop. I do offer
    the plastic washer backs to customers but usually if there is any
    extra effort involved the sale is lost.  Is there some way before
    soldering to test out how the earring is going to hang?? 

Thanks,  G. Cleveland
