Abstract
An invisible connector assembly for a beaded strand of jewelry includes solid connector posts mounted in through-bores in the end beads of the strand. One post is provided with a threaded stud extending axially from the bead, and the other post is tapped within the bore of the bead to receive the threaded stud. The opposite end of each connection post is provided with a swiveling eye for connection to one end of the string mounting the remaining beads of the strand.
