Default Sail pendant using dyneema

I need to attach a 15" pendant to the head of a jib. I thought I would use dyneema rather than wire. If I used say 1/4" dyneema, would a "ring hitch" (occasionally called a luggage tag hitch) work for the attachment through the sail head ring if the loop is sufficiently long? The other end of the pendant would have a standard thimble for dyneema. I'm concerned about wear and strength. I considered using a thimble on the sail ring but for smallish line can't find a thimble that would go over the ring. Any ideas and recommendations? Thanks
