Might I suggest, as I have many times, using cotter keys or jewelery findings for a more delicate hold? I use a 3/32 hole, some CA, and a steel or brass key. Small enough it doesn't interfere with the piece itself.

Did you use a torch to heat it and bend it?

Noted and ignored, as I have many times

Yea, it's mild steel so it's pretty easy to do.

Like the cotter key idea. I have boxes of them.
