ABSTRACT:
An interlocking link chain for use in jewelry and other decorative items. The interlocking links can be assembled and disassembled by the wearer without special tools and without an unusual degree of dexterity. The wearer can assemble a chain of any length for use as a bracelet, a necklace, a belt, or other decorative items. Each link has a tab portion and a slot portion. Each link may also have a body portion which expresses an artistic or decorative motif. In some embodiments, the tab and the slot may be made an integral part of the decorative motif. The links are arranged in a linear chain so that the tab portion of each link interlocks with the slot portion of the adjacent link. The links are made in a generally planar configuration that lends itself to low cost manufacturing methods, such as sheet metal forming techniques or injection molding.
