The Kanzashi (hair ornament not pictured) is a good example of an opportunity for adaptation. I have seen important ojime with the hole reconfigured to fit a hair pin.
And in your examples of the obidome for sale in an Antiques Show, I can see a multi metal menuki -sword decoration- as well. This adaptation I have seen many times.
Notice how all of the obidome ornaments and ribbons are in good condition -as if they were seldom worn
-perhaps they were put together for collectors after the fashion for wearing them became obsolete.
