ABSTRACT:
A closed loop connector for jewelry includes a first U-shaped connector half formed from a flat strip of metal and a second U-shaped connector half formed from a piece of metal wire. The connector half formed form the flat strip of metal includes tubular cylindrical end portions. The second U-shaped connector half is formed from a piece of metal wire having headed end portions, one of the headed end portions being captured in one of the cylindrical end portions and held therein for rotation on the axis thereof. The other of the headed end portions is captured in the other cylindrical end portion by lateral movement through an open slot in response to resilient deflection of the edges of the end portion forming the slot. The metal strips forming one of the U-shaped connector halves may be formed from stampings of different configurations.
