Thanks to everyone who posted! You all have been very helpful. I think I will check out my local ACE hardware in the morning and see what they have. If not all the links will come in handy i'm sure!
I just bought these in both gold & silver.. 10 per pkg.

I found this ebayer who sells ball chains and connectors that work really well and are super cheap. 12 feet w/24 connectors will last a lifetime. Also they sell brass...

I got one of brass and one nickle plated b/c sometimes the trigger snaps I'm about to post link to are too small for some 0 - rings on some coach bags. Not all, but some.
For the fobs I order this size, in brass PLATE (not the brass--it won't match your bag hardware at ALL) and in nickel plate:

10 NP Round Snap Hooks 1/2
Item # NRS 12-10 which on the web page is:
1/2" Snap Hook-2 1/4" long
nickel plate
Also I have ordered
10 BRASS PLATE Round Snap Hooks 1/2
Item # BPRS 12-10
which on the 'Brass Menu" web page is:
1/2" BRASS PLATE Snap Hook-2 1/4" long
brass plate
AVOID these--I just ordered thinking they would be ok for the bags with the larger o-rings but they are way too big to use for fob decorating:
5/8" Snap Hook-3 1/4" long
nickel plate
3/4" Snap Hook-3 1/2" long
nickel plate
Thanks katev! I ordered these. They just came today and I am adding them to all my keychains.
I had the same problem! I searched hi and lo and never found anything suitable so I had to take drastic action, lol!
I bought 3 tassel fobs and removed the clasps and placed them on my other fobs.

my first order,i ordered a few of several different sizes because what i ran into with the hooks i found in stores was they were never large enough to snap onto the metal rings of my purses. this is the one that has worked best to just snap onto any purse for me: http://www.usalanyards.com/framed-gold-bolt-snap-hm-603.aspx

Ok,FYI These DO NOT FIT. Unless I am tryng to put them in the wrong spot. They won't close around the metal rings
and you have them already? Did you order them before me .. Cuz i'm still waiting for mine....I ordered thoses exact ones. Metal SWIVEL CLIPS SNAP Hook TRIGGER Lanyard Lobster Clasp 2/4" 12mm
Think what I will do is find big jump rings or washers to put around the purse rings then I can use the clips that came in. It really shouldn't be this difficult-lol
