  • the invention provides a jewellery clasp for securing an ornamental item to a continuous chain comprising a pair of oppositely oriented decorative potions hinged on one side of a tubular member extending circumferentially around the clasp and terminating in a short gap at the opposite side of the hinged portion, a gap closure member extending from one of the decorative portions adapted to releasably secure the decorative potions in a closed position thereby closing the gap, wherein the gap closure member is a tongue portion extending inwardly from one of the decorative elements.
  • the invention provides a jewellery clasp for securing an ornamental item to a continuous chain comprising a pair of oppositely oriented decorative portions hinged on one side of a tubular member extending circumferentially around the clasp and terminating in a short gap at the opposite side of the hinged portion, a gap closure member extending from one of the decorative portions adapted to releasably secure the decorative potions in a closed position thereby closing the gap, wherein the gap closure member is tongue portion extending inwardly from one of the decorative elements and the tongue portion is press fitted to secure the decorative portions together.
  • a jewellery clasp for securing an ornamental item to a continuous chain comprising a pair of oppositely oriented decorative portions hinged on one side of a tubular member extending circumferentially around the clasp and terminating in a short gap at the opposite side of the hinged portion, a gap closure member extending from one of the decorative portions adapted to releasably secure the decorative portions in a closed position thereby closing the gap, wherein the gap closure member is tongue portion extending inwardly from one of the decorative elements and the tongue portion is press fitted to secure the decorative portions together, wherein the tubular member is a continuous member extending through a channel attached to the two decorative portions thereby allowing the decorative portions to he swung away from each other.
  • the pendant comprises an ornamental portion 2 on its front 4 and on its rear surface 6 (not shown in figure 1 ).

  • the tubular member 9 carries a hinge portion or connector 8 at the mid-point of first side of the pendant which allows ornamental portions 4.6 to swing away and pivot from each other as shown in figure 2 .
  • tubular member 9 extends upwardly from connector 8 and back down the opposite side terminating at end portion 12. In the opposite direction, tubular member extends in the opposite direction from the connector 8 terminating in an end portion 16 leaving a short gap 20 between end portion 12 and end portion 16. This gap 20 is sufficiently wide to allow a standard chain to be inserted through the gap and attached to either element 10 or element 14.
  • the tubular member may be a continuous member or may be two separate members welded or otherwise secured at each end of connector 8.
  • One of the ornamental portions 4.6 carries a locking element 22 which is adapted to lock the clasp in a closed and locked position as shown in figure 1 when the two ornamental portions 4.6 are pivoted towards the gap 20.
  • the locking element 22 is a short rectangular tongue 26 affixed to the ornamental portion 4 which extends over the gap 20 and press fits closed with the opposite element 6.
  • each ornamental portion 4.6 is swung away from the tubular member 9.
  • each ornamental portion 4.6 is swung to the closed position and the tongue 26 is press litted to the opposite ornamental portion thereby closing the gap 20 and preventing the charm from falling off the chain.
  • the pendant may be placed on the chain without opening the chain and possibly losing the other pendants which may be attached to the chain.
