The partner of the earring on the right disappeared and I was asked to make an earring to match it.  The owner was happy with a standard pin and butterfy fitting.  It isn’t perhaps obvious from the picture but the tube is square section and I could only buy round tube.  The solution is to pull the tube through a square drawplate several times to convert the profile.  The match was good.
