    Don Friedlich's pin design, which uses a double pin and a tube
    hinge, is described both in Alan Revere's The Art of Jewelry Making
    (not currently available through Ganoksin/Amazon) and in a fairly
    recent issue of Art Jewelry magazine (my stuff is still in storage,
    so I don't know the date). This design enables you to use the the
    pins as a built-in display stand, too. Extremely cool. 

    For a more archaic look, you could try a fibula--Tim McCreight has
    popularized this style and variations are used by several metal clay
    people. See one of Tim's here:
