I occasionally make beaded badge holders.  The girls that purchase them apparently are rather rough on them as I have had a few come back for repair (caught in drawer and broke wire, etc.).  I have heard of break-away-links and would like to try that so the neckwires would remain intact and break at a specific point.  However, I have no clue as to where to purchase such an item.  Your help would be appreciated.

Break-away chains are the chains that they use for dog tags or more specifically the tags that the military use with there id number on it. or the chain that stores attach a pen to so you can't take it. they are little balls that can be broken away.  You can buy them at most bead shops, or any where that sells jewelry making findings. But I dont think you could put beads on them, or maybe if they were large holed beads.
