Hi Marianne,

    You can make one easily enough - just cut out the metal in the shape
    of a chevron, then roll up the "wings" tight enough to hold the cord
    but loose enough so the cord will slide when pulled. Solder the
    center to the center of the back of the bolo, up a bit so it will
    hang right. I do this with my silver bolos every time because I don't
    like the available spring gizmos which are usually made with base
    metal. I'll send a picture if my explanation leaves something to be
    desired - just let me know if you want one. 

    BTW, your jewelry is out of this world - I've long admired your
    work.
