flist, please to be helping me
Okay, so, it is harder to find someone who will do bronze jewelry repair than one might think. Does anyone have any suggestions? The clasp thing is broken and needs to be replaced.
Picture below the cut, in case you need a visual.
Apparently, the magic word is 'vintage bronze' - the second I say that, everyone starts sounding wary. Currently bidding on the necklace, as there are three on ebay. And a really hideous ring that matches. I'm weirded out though that I can't find another bracelet like this though.
Added picture of clasp. Yes, I should have added a pic of the clasp. I blame the universe.

Broken Clasp The clasp part is at the top and was a bent piece of metal. It snapped off at the bend |

I can't tell if bent piece of metal bit is directly attached to one of the links or if it is separate (all on its own and linked to the rest of the bracelet).
If it is separate you might have more options such as swapping it for a part that isn't broken as it can't be seen when the bracelet is in use.
ETA: If you have bead shops/jewelery supply places anywhere near where you live walk on in and ask. You may be able to find an alternate piece for a clasp. They may also be able to tell you where to find your elusive bronze specialist.
