Not the bag reveal yet but needed something to hold me over

If you don't want to risk breaking the post, take it to either a jewelry store or an eyeglass place. They warm/heat the metal (they do this with the parts of glasses that need to be bent back in place) and the heat allows the metal to move without as much force.

Great idea! Believe it or not since I have been wearing them they are doing it by themselves. If they don't go exactly like it's partner I will do that.
