Abstract:
A bracelet comprising:enveloping decorative elements mounted along a symmetry line on a non-extensible chain, wherein each element includes two through passages delimited by a cap, a bottom, two lateral edges, and separated by a central rib, the central rib being shorter than a depth of each through passage, wherein each lateral edge and the rib connect the cap to the bottom; and articulated links forming the non-extensible chain, wherein each link is hinged to an adjacent link by a hinge including a pivot pin, and each link comprises two symmetrical coupling elements joined together by a bridge to form both sides of a central slot, wherein the central slot is complementary to and receives the central rib of a respective decorative element, and each coupling element comprises a lateral arm at one end, an extension at an opposite end, and a main body connecting the lateral arm and the extension so that the bridge is formed between the two symmetrical coupling elements of the link, wherein each coupling element has a recess disposed between the lateral arm and the bridge, wherein the recess has edges so that the edges of the recess of the link and corresponding extension of the adjacent hinged link provides a blocking means that limits an angular range of movement between the link and the hinged adjacent link to an angle &agr; in a vertical plane passing through the symmetry line.
