Springs wayyyyyyy to strong.
These are absolutely beautiful and I would love to wear them all the time.  My problem ..... I cannot open them.  Can you anyone suggest how to loosen the springs so that they can be used?  I was able to lift a large open umbrella ,that went airborne in our windstorm, over the top of the table, put it into the hole and crank the umbrella down and tie it!  AND I cannot open this little hair clip.
