ABSTRACT:
A device for removably attaching a pendant to a decorative chain is disclosed. The device comprises two arcuate latching elements. The first latching element receives the chain and has an arm swivably attached to one end, which engages the other end when it is swiveled to a closed position, thereby creating a closed, locked loop around the chain. The second latching element receives a connecting loop on the pendant to be attached to the chain. The second element has a locking bar swivably attached adjacent to an eyelet on one end. The eyelet is adapted for receiving the first latching element. The locking bar has a longitudinal opening through which the eyelet protrudes when the locking bar is swiveled to a closed position, the locking bar thereby creating a closed, locked loop around the connectinhg loop on the pendant. When the two elements are interlocked in this manner, they are oriented at right angles to each other. The device of the present invention allows the attachment of substantially flat pendants to chains so that the front face of the pendant can be seen.
