Abstract: A pendant jewel chain is provided which includes a conventional link chain, a clasp means in the form of a spring ring and a connection member, including first and second parts, disposed between the spring ring and the outermost link of the jewel chain. The first part of the connection member is disposed adjacent the spring ring and is of large size so to permit attachment thereof to the spring ring. The second part is disposed adjacent to the chain and is of small enough size to be inserted into the outermost chain link. The two parts are rigidly connected to one another and the second part is freely deflectable so as enable insertion of a chain link therein.
