<p>An improved jewelry chain (30) of a type having a plurality of links (32). Each link (32) resembles a fish hook (34) and has a shank (36) with one end thereof having a barbed hook (40) thereon and an opposite end (42) thereof having an eyelet (44) thereon which engages the barbed hook (40) of an adjacent link. The eyelet (44) lies in a first plane and the shank (36) and barbed hook (40) lie in a second plane that is perpendicular to the first plane. The improvements include the barbed hook (40) not touching the shank (36), the eyelet (44) being so sized so as not to allow the barbed hook (40) of an adjacent link to pass therethrough, except for the eyelet (44) of one terminal link being large enough to allow the barbed hook (40) of the other terminal link to selectively disengage therefrom, and the second plane being arcuate so as to allow each link (32) to lie flat on the skin of the user.</p> |
