Hi Noel;

>     I haven't seen omega-screws, but I have seen screw-clips 

    These I know about, but this customer claims these are for pierced
    ears, have threaded posts, but the nut is on a hinged part that clips
    down like an omega. Again, my first thought is, this is a jewelry
    customer, not a jeweler, and it's likely they can't describe what
    they have. Of course, what makes this worse is that it's coming to me
    through a third party, a jewelry seller, also not a jeweler. I'll
    keep looking, and I appreciate suggestions from Orchidians, but I'm
    very close to the point where I'm not going to expend any more energy
    on this. Thanks all. 

David L. Huffman
