Definitions

• the present invention refers to a link or collet element for producing jewellery products, costume jewellery products and the like, such as bracelets, rings and necklaces.
• the present invention further refers to jewellery products such as, for example, bracelets, rings and necklaces made through such link or collet element.
• object of the present invention is providing a link or collet element which can be operatively coupled with an adjacent link or collet element in an unmovable and sturdy way, but however simultaneously allows a wide rotation bewteen the the two coupled links, in order to adapt the end product to the round shape of the wrist or neck around which it is resting.
• a further object of the present invention is providing a jewellery product, costume jewellery product and the like by mutually operatively coupling a plurality of links or collet elements as mentioned above.
• Figure 1 shows a partial perspective view of a first embodiment of a jewellery product made with links or collet elements of the present invention
• Figure 2 shows a side view of a link of the product in Figure 1;
• Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the link of Figure 2;
• Figure 4 shows another perspective view of the link of Figure 2 coupled with two flexible cables
• Figure 5 shows another perspective view of the link of Figure 2
• Figure 6 shows a perspective view of a second preferred embodiment of a jewellery product composed of a series of links or collet elements according to the present inventions-
• Figure 7 shows a perspective view of one of the links of Figure 6;
• Figure 8 shows a perspective view of a third preferred embodiment of a jewellery product composed of a series of links or collet elements according to the present invention.
• Figure 9 shows a perspective view of one of the links of Figure 8.
• links or collet elements 1 of the present invention adapted to be mutually joined in order to form respective jewellery products, costume jewellery products 3 and the like, obtained through a plurality of links or of collet elements 1 as described below, namely products 3 composed of a succession of links or collet elements 1 mutually connected through at least one flexible wire 5 passing inside the respective through-hole 15 of each link or collet element 1, in general each link or collet element 1 having its own hinging surface 7 engaging the respective hinging surface 7 of an adjacent and successive link or collet element 1.
• each link or collet element 1 is equipped with two parallel through-holes 15, it is possibile to use both two different flexible cables 5, each of which passing in a respective series of corresponding through-holes 15, and a single flexible wire 5 bent as a U and/or closed as a ring in its ends in order to pass in each series of corresponding through- holes 15.
• the jewellery product 3 can clearly be composed of a plurality of links or collet elements 1, each of which has a differently ornated upper surface.
• the product 3 can be composed of a succession of links or collet elements 1 of the invention, in which the mounting elements 9 allow placing therein and fastening at least one precious stone (not shown) .
• the mounting elements 9 allow placing therein and fastening at least one precious stone (not shown) .
• the link or collet element 1 of the invention is used for producing jewellery products, costume jewellery products 3 and the like, such as bracelets, rings and necklaces, and comprises:
• a supporting body 7 equipped on at least one first side thereof with a plurality of mounting elements 9 and equipped with at least one through- hole 15 adapted to contain therein a flexible joining wire 5;
• the supporting body 7 is further equipped with a recess 12 adapted to receive the engaging element 11 of another link or collet element 1 before its insertion in the hole 16 and adapted, when operating, to allow the mutual articulated rotation of the two, mutually joined links or collet elements 1.
• the through- holes 15 are two, mutually parallel, for inserting two respective flexible cables 5.
• the axis of every through-hole 15 is parallel to the rotation axis of the link or collet element 1.
• the mounting elements 9 are preferably four and are adapted to contain therein and to unmovably fasten at least one precious stone to the link or collet element 1.
• link or collet element 1 it is therefore possible to make a jewellery product, a costume jewellery product 3 and the like, comprising a plurality in succession of links or of collet elements 1, wherein such links or collet elements 1 are mutually connected through at least one of the flexible cables 5 passing inside a respective one of the through- holes 15 of each of the links or collet elements 1.
