  sorry it's broken

  I have a couple ideas if you get desperate, but I'm sure you can find the same thing near you.

  If you take it to a bead shop, they may be able to walk you through how to fix it.

  Would the string-like piece, if it hadn't been bent open, be a round link?  If so, you just need a new one and a pair of needlenose pliers.  I don't think it'll be hard to fix, or hard to explain how to fix...can you take a picture?

  the piece that broke is a curled up end - like a loop, then the extra coiled around it - then the straight piece where the bead used to be strung thru, then another curled up end.  the ends link it to the clasp and the chain. 

  It would need this whole piece replaced, and a new bead.

  I think the hardest part will be getting the bead onto something like that.  It wouldn't be hard to do it yourself if you switched to a different construction (closed loop to link the clasp and chain and, attached to that closed loop, a straight piece with the bead on it, so if you held the chain in both hands the bead would dangle from the closed loop).  Hard to picture, I think, if you don't know what I'm talking about.  If there's a bead store somewhere near you, they should be able to hook you up with the parts and tell you what to do - it shouldn't be difficult, even if you haven't really done this kind of thing before.
