    Dear Karen, Thanks ever so much for taking the time to relay your
    experience with Byzantine chain. I have had some really insightful
    responses and the consensus is that Byzantines are virtually
    impossible to repair and the tendency to breakdown is exacerbated
    with age. The chain in question is approximately five mm. square and
    is 14 K yellow gold. Since I used the vibratory machine with ceramic
    media it is logical to asume that some work hardening had occurred.
    On the other hand, how much harder can a gold wire get after being
    worn 24/7 for twenty years ? I f I am lucky, the small claims court
    will take into consideration the inherent design flaws and the 
    considerable age of the chain.    Thanks again,  Ron
