Project achieved :-)
A thick silver thread was cut, shaped (grossly!) as a C clasp, then soldered with the "solder it" paste.
I had to redo it because I didn't hold it correctly while paste solder fused, which caused it to lay down, Grrrr!
For the enamel, pearlized nail polish applied with a tooth pick, covered when dry with top coat nail polish.
Colored with permanent marker then matted with fiberglass brush!
Last, set a tiny red stone for the eye ; -)
Wow -- You are the Miracle Worker !!!!
I'll be sending along some of my jewelry for repair - how are at fixing enamel?

It was my first clasp making and soldering, so Rose, I'm very proud of your wow :-))
