Abstract:
1. An accessory comprising: interconnected members, said interconnected members including an elastically deformable spacer mounted on said thread between two adjacent ones of said plural gems, said elastically deformable spacer having an outer dimension; a hook defining a passageway to receive said elastically deformable spacer, said passageway having opposite first and second ends and including another elastically deformable spacer mounted on said thread between another two adjacent ones of said plural gems, said another elastically deformable spacer having an outer dimension that is greater than said dimension of said opening at said first end of said passageway, wherein said elastically deformable spacer and said another elastically deformable spacer each have an external configuration, and said spacer fitting area has a configuration that matches said external configuration of each of said elastically deformable spacer and said another elastically deformable spacer, such that as one of said elastically deformable spacer and said another elastically deformable spacer is passed through said passageway from said first end toward said second end said one of said elastically deformable spacer and said another elastically deformable spacer is deformed and then returns to said external configuration within said spacer fitting area so as to lock said hook between said two adjacent ones of said plural gems or said another two adjacent ones of said plural gems.
