Clasp Options - Twist Chain Necklace

Hello,

I am trying to come up with a clasp for a 24" heavy steel chain. It's a
twist chain, a big version of what is commonly used for wallets and keys and
that sort of thing. The links are about 1/2" wide and about 3/4" long. The
chain weighs about 5 1/2 ounces.

Any suggestions? Also on how to attach the clasp? Thanks!

In case anyone was interested, I found what is the perfect "clasp" for this
type of necklace - I pickup up a stainless steel "quick link" from a local
hardware store for just a couple of dollars. It looks like a normal chain
link, except it has a small threaded nut-like thing that screws open.

Just thought I'd offer that up in case anyone else was making jewelry for
rock-band types or other folks like that.
