Abstract
An improved jewelry finding (20) has a first member (21) provided with a first opening (24) therethrough, and a second member (22) provided with a second opening (25) therethrough. The two members are fixed to one another such that the axes (y1—y1, y2—y2) of the first and second openings are oriented at an acute included angle (&thgr;) with respect to one another when seen along a line joining the center of these members. The finding may include a third member (e.g., 33 or 43). The center of the third member may be on this imaginary line, or the center of the three members may be arranged at the apices of an imaginary triangle. A multi-strand necklace formed by passing stylets through the member openings will have a generally twisted or intertwined appearance.
