ABSTRACT:
A brooch comprising two parts (1, 2) is provided with a hinge (4) and a hinge pin (3). Pocket-like cavities (5, 6) are provided in the brooch parts (1, 2) diametrically opposite the hinge (4). A spring pin (7) is soldered in one of the pockets (5) which locks positively in the pocket in the other part of the brooch when it is closed. A pin (10) is affixed to one part of the brooch and extends across the brooch from an area remote from the hinge to an area adjacent the hinge on the other part of the brooch (2) where an eye (11) is provided. As the two parts (1, 2) of the brooch are swung open or shut, the tip of the pin (10) moves into or out of the eye (11). A notch (12) is provided at the joint between the two parts of the brooch (1, 2). The fastener according to the present invention is particularly compact, hardly increases the thickness of the piece of jewelry concerned and makes possible the creation of a number of new designs of jewelry.
