Abstract
A jewelry clip is provided for clipping onto an elongated member of a bracelet and/or necklace. The jewelry clip includes first and second parts connected by a hinge and being rotatable between open and closed states. The clip in the closed state is adapted for gripping the elongated member and in the open state is adapted for being released from the elongated member. At least one discrete spring biases the clip toward the closed state when the clip is in the open state. The clip has, in the closed state, a through hole. At least one of the first and second parts includes at least one resilient element defining at least part of an inner surface of the jewelry clip defining the through hole. When the clip is clipped onto the elongated member, the resilient element provides a frictional resistance against movement of the elongated member through the through hole.
