    Thanks Ray and others who emailed with this suggestion Re:
    jumpringer. I'll try this, maybe even toothpicks for the tiniest
    rings? 

    the next question: Can someone tell me the difference between
    titanium and niobium as far a metal sensitivity? I have a customer
    who has found that she can wear titanium without skin reaction, and I
    was wondering if the same would hold true with niobium. I know of a
    source where I can buy niobium earwires, but can't seem to find a
    source for titanium. (Google comes up with finished jewelry sources,
    but no findings sources.) Any suggestions or information on thes two
    products would be appreciated.
