1. An adjustable jewelry article, comprising:
a flexible band having a first end and a dangling, second end; a connector, the first end of the flexible band being fixedly secured to the connector at a fixed connection, a portion of the flexible band also being slidably secured through the connector at a slidable connection to define a variably sized wearable loop of the flexible band that extends between the fixed connection and the slidable connection; an adjustment device defining a channel through which both the variably sized wearable loop and a portion of the flexible band proximal of the dangling, second end are both slidable; and a frictional material disposed within the channel, the channel and the frictional material being adapted and configured for frictionally restraining movement of the flexible band within the channel, wherein pulling of the dangling, second end away from the adjustment device reduces the size of the variably sized wearable loop.
