[Jewelry making - Article 00206] - Re: [Orchid] Position for clip-on earring backs

    When I make an earring, a large circle of sterling, I position the
    earring back from the center of the circle (the solder spot) and the
    top of the clip-on is level with the top of the earring. This
    prevents the droop. Secondly, I open the spring very slightly so that
    the ears do not get pinched with the pressure of the clip. Imagine
    just a breath of space between the top of the circle and the actual
    clip-on. Works every time. No padding needed. If the earring is
    small, the whole clip-on uses the whole back of the earring. 

Good Luck.
