curtain rings "with clips and eyelets"

What do you mean by "eyelet"?

eyelet: "a small round hole in leather or cloth for threading a lace, string, or rope through." Similar to a grommet.

In your Amazon link I see a ring, a hook and a spring loaded clip.

The hook could be removed from the ring which would also remove the clip or the clip could be removed from the hook. All you need is a pair of pliers to bend the hook. A decent pair or needle nose might be the best option, although removing just the clip will be more difficult due to the limited space.

Maybe you want something from this collection...

How about this:

If I use rings like that, I will have to reposition all of the existing hanger pins currently installed in the pinch pleats. If I can use the clip version and remove just the clip, then the hanger pins will be pretty much at the right place. I don't know the correct name for hanger pins, but they are stuck into each pleat, and then hang on the sliding eyelets in the curtain rod. The are positioned about an inch below the top of the curtain so the curtain will hide the curtain rod.

Anyway, thanks for the responses.

So the question is this:

Which is the better solution from both a look and from a work perspective?

IOW, which will be harder - repositioning the pin-in drapery hooks vs. removing the clips *and* when the work is done, which will look better - even if it was more work to accomplish?

I might as well add that drapery hooks (both pin-on and slip in) come in different lengths and styles.
