Abstract

An identification bracelet which is adjustable so as to allow the user to continue to use the bracelet even if his wrist size changes is provided. The present invention comprises a chain and a clasp. The clasp, which provides a panel for engraving a name or message, may be opened so that the chain may be adjusted to make the bracelet larger or smaller. The clasp provides a plurality of anchor locations so that numerous different sizes of bracelet may be made. The clasp is generally made in two sections which are rotatably connected so that they may pivot apart, to provide access to the anchor locations, and pivot together to lock the end of the chain within the clasp. The clasp may subsequently be pivoted open again to adjust the size of the chain or for removal of the bracelet.
