How do I remove screw backs from silver earrings and change to posts for pierced ears?

Answer 1

I modified a couple pairs of my grandmother's earrings by snipping the screw posts off the back and attaching posts using jeweler's glue. I don't wear them very often but the glue has held for three years now.

Answer 2

As a student studying jewelry making, I'd saw off the back as close to the earring as possible, file and sand everything smooth, drill a tiny hole the hold the wire to be used as a post, and use easy solder to solder it in. This is assuming the earrings are completely silver.
On a side note, the screw back is very elegant in its own right, and you can wear such earrings even if you have pierced ears. (I've done it.)
