Abstract: A locking ring for necklaces and the like comprises a locking ring (1) and a second smaller ring (2) intended for fastening a necklace or the like, which rings prior to the attachment on a necklace include a slit (7) between the openings of the two rings, so that a necklace or the like is threaded through the slit on the smaller ring through the detachable opening of the circlip (1). After the necklace or the like has been threaded on, the two parts are pressed together, and in the slit centering and snap-in means are located, so that the two rings do not spring apart after the mounting.
