What is this component called?

Hi all,

I am new here, and found my way here because I am looking to repair an earring. I am looking for a piece like in the attached photo, that is connecting the two jump rings. I don't know what this piece is called so I cannot search for vendors online. Thank you in advance! This is my favorite pair of earrings so I would love for them to be wearable again!

I haven't actually seen those components available for sale on their own -- I've only seen them as the "bar" part of bar chain.  We did stock a few styles of bar chain, but they were about $50/spool and weren't quite the right size/shape bar as you have on that pair of earrings.

You might be able to find some by searching for things like "bar connector link" with the metal or metal color name too - "white," "silver plate," "nickel silver," "sterling silver," etc.

Something like this:

or this: http://shop.rings-things.com/cart/pc/showsearchresultsCustom.asp?keyword=silver+bar+connector
might work.

Thank you so much! Now I have a starting point for my search. If I can't find the exact piece, I may just have to replace all of them with new ones.
