Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any advice about where I could find rivets (or better yet, Chicago screws) with attached swivel rings with diameters of 3/4" or more, preferably in a bright brass color. I'd also appreciate any feedback on if this hardware would be durable, or if it would degrade/stress the leather it is attached to.

I've attached a visual example of what sort of hardware I am after.

Might consider a swivel with 2 rings or squares. More to choose from at Weaver, Buckle Guy, Batz Corp, Bieler's Manufacturing.  Could attach one ring to the project with a leather chape or loop. Stohlman shows examples for attaching buckles and rings in volume 1 of his case making books.

They don't degrade the leather or do it any harm. But they're not suitable for heavy use, only for the likes of a wrist-strap on a purse

I use these and I find I have to replace the screw with a longer one and use a plastic washer under the screw

Had to dig but I knew I had some of these somewhere  but can't remember where from. If you don't have any joy, come back and I'll find em.

These would be perfect! I would love to know where you got them, especially those that I've circled below:

I had mine custom made , the o ring is about 1.5in  and they are screw back . I used them exclusively for dog collars . Anyone with a machine shop can make them for you

No photo description available.

This is my use for them as well haha. Could I ask what the price point of that was for you? I'm not looking to go into mass production so I'd be buying less than 15 of them, which may get expensive with a custom order.
