Hi there experts!:) pendant addition to Akoya pearl necklace, help please

[Diamondsareforever]

Okay so I can only use solid gold material but I need a way to incorporate this pendant into the strand efficiently and safely. I just added it and already discolored thread so If any of you wise beaders have some advice for this newbie.

Why not squeeze the butterfly bale together so it becomes a single loop? It looks like there's a knot in the middle of the bail now that is also getting dirty. You could also set a 14k bead next to the pendant on either side to cover the knots.
