    There are long ear wires (not posts) available for Sparkie. I
    sometimes weld them very near the top of an earring's back, and then
    bend them up and forward to make a well-balanced ear hook. You could
    do that for a direct hook earring, or form the ear wire top into a
    loop, for a linkage attachment to a separate ear wire. I have retro-
    fit many earrings with this type of attachment.
