Mary,

Maybe you already know it, but there's a Wichard snap shackle that is so tiny that it could probably be used as a bijouterie (or jewelry). It can be found in their website: Wichard part Nr 2470

Ronstan makes (or used to make) a similar one in bronze (# RF6000), but although it is for sale in West Marine, I did not find it in Ronstan's catalog.

The bronze version would be very easy and relatively inexpensive to gold plate and sell as a fashion item, for key chains, earrings or whatever. I always wondered why the manufacturers don't do it by themselves.

Cheers,
