Abstract

A bracelet comprises a plurality of interengaging pivotally-connected flat links. Each link has an elliptical contour and a central diamond-shaped opening, a first channel in the upper face and a second channel in the lower face, the channels crossing each other so that the sides of the channels coincide with the pairs of opposed edges of the opening. One end of the first channel has a slot extending from the edge to the opening for the passage of another link during assembly. This other link is turned through 90.degree. to lie in the same plane after passing through the slot and the links are pivotally connected by pivot pins which pass through apexes of the diamond-shaped opening lying on the center line of the bracelet and are received in holes extending within the thickness of the links.
