Abstract
A flexible metal strip for making bracelets made up of a plurality of identical elements of hexagonal section arranged side by side and interconnected by link devices. Each element comprises a bottom piece and a top piece superposed thereon. The top piece is annular and surrounds a sleeve which extends axially from the top face of the bottom piece and which is used for crimping the top piece on the bottom piece. Each link device is constituted by a triangularly-shaped ring which links together three adjacent elements. The link element is received in radial grooves formed in the top faces of the bottom pieces of said three adjacent elements.
