ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an interconnectable jewelry setting for connecting with other interconnectable jewelry settings to form a jewelry piece such as a bracelet, necklace, earrings, or other ornamental item. The jewelry setting comprises a frame formed from stamped sheet metal, in which a gemstone is mounted, a ball-link joint, which is connectable to similar jewelry settings to form the desired jewelry piece without the need for soldering or welding. The ball-link joint is held in place by a key-lock clip opening in the setting frame, and a spring insert attached to the internal end of the ball-link joint provides tension against the joint and allows for elasticity and flexibility of the jewelry piece. A snap-on cover on the base of the setting frame provides additional structural support to the frame.
