ABSTRACT:
The invention is a unitary component that may be substituted intermittently for portions of a jewelry rope chain. The unitary component has connecting means that promotes the integration of the component with the conventional rope chain by receiving onto the component the individual links of the rope chain in their ordinary sequence and position as those links are sequentially and positionally comprised on a conventional rope chain. The use of the component with conventional rope chain segments results in savings of precious metal and labor costs while retaining many of the flexibility and aesthetic advantages of the conventional rope chain. The preferred embodiment of the rope chain is spiral in shape but may take on various other configurations.
