ABSTRACT:
A device for maintaining a plurality of jewelry neck chains, arm or wrist chains and the like in a predetermined relationship in order to retain the jewelry chains in generally parallel, side-by-side relation thereby reducing the tendency of adjacent jewelry chains from becoming entangled with each other when being worn. In one embodiment of the invention, the device is in the form of an elongated flat bar having a plurality of apertures therein with each aperture adapted to receive a split ring clasp used to secure the ends of jewelry chains together in order to maintain the clasp and thus the ends of the jewelry chain in spaced relation to each other with the jewelry chains being maintained generally in parallel relation to each other. In another embodiment of the invention, the device is in the form of a clamp having two elongated leg portions for clampingly engaging jewelry chains therebetween adjacent the clasps which secure the chains together in order to retain the chains in spaced generally parallel relation. Another embodiment of the device is in the form of a ring structure having a diameter sufficient for the ring to extend through split ring-type clasps of a plurality of jewelry chains. The device may be constructed in the form of a plurality of loops, chain links or the like, and may be constructed of various materials including precious metals, plated metals, plastics, plated plastics and the like with the organizer being associated with a plurality of existng complete jewelry items and serving to keep the chains in somewhat parallel arrangement to reduce their tendency to become entangled and to serve as a safety device in that if one of the chains breaks the broken chain will be retained by the organizer rather than falling unnoticed from the wearer's neck, arm or the like.
