    Robyn, I had the same problem with attaching clasps to some sterling
    beaded chain which I had purchased in bulk form. I finally got some
    some tubing from Rio, which fit the beaded chain. I cut little pieces
    (about 1/2 in length). Soldered a disc on one end of each to which I
    soldered a jump ring. I then inserted some tiny bits of extra easy
    solder into the tubes pushed in the chain, and soldered them
    together. It worked fine. The only problem I had was finding a tube
    that fit the chain.
