Abstract: A jewelry clasp includes respective first and second clasp parts and a slider. At least part of the first clasp part in an attached position thereof is received in a housing of the second clasp part. At least one of the first and second clasp parts includes a magnet, and the other of the first and second parts includes a part magnetically attractable by the magnet so that the first clasp part in its attached position is held to the second clasp part by magnetic attraction. The slider is attached to and slideable in relation to the housing of the second clasp part, and is slideable between a releasing state and a locking state. In the releasing state, the first clasp part may be detached from the second clasp part, and in the locking state the first clasp part is prevented from being detached from the second clasp part.

Abstract: A jewelry clasp includes a clasp shell enclosing a spacing, the clasp shell having a first opening for slidably receiving a first end of an elongated member; and a spring-biased push button slidably received in the spacing through a second opening, the button being slidable between a releasing state and a locking state, wherein the button has a hole for receiving the first end of the elongated member when the first end is received through the first opening of the clasp shell, wherein the push button further comprises a stopper, the stopper releasing the first end of the elongated member when the button is in the releasing state; and a magnet exerting a magnetic force which, when the first end of the elongated member includes a magnetic material, acts to pull said first end of the elongated member through the first opening and into the hole of the button.

Abstract: A clip (100) for being strung on a bracelet and/or a necklace, said bracelet or necklace comprising an elongate member with a flat cross-sectional shape and with a first substantially flat major surface and a second substantially flat major surface.

Abstract: A jewelry clasp for securing a first end of an elongated member of a bracelet or a necklace to a second end of the elongated member includes a female part and a male part. One of the female and male parts includes a first magnet and the other of the female and male parts includes a part magnetically attractable by the first magnet. The female part includes a housing and a hinged lid, the hinged lid being pivotable between a locking state and a releasing state and including the first magnet or the part magnetically attractable by the first magnet. When the female part is open, the male part can be inserted in an axial direction into the housing, and when the female part is closed and the male part is inserted into the housing, the male part is locked to the female part.

Abstract: An ornament for being strung on an elongated member includes a shell having a cavity and a first friction element. The ornament may be arranged in an un-assembled configuration, in which the first friction element is un-attached to the shell, and an assembled configuration, in which the first friction element is attached to the shell. The first friction element has a first retaining part, arranged in the cavity when the ornament is in the assembled configuration, and a first friction part attached to the first retaining part and comprising a first gripping surface for frictionally gripping a surface of the elongated member. The ornament, in the assembled configuration, is strung on the elongated member, and is releasably secured in a first location on the elongated member. The first friction part and the first retaining part have different material and/or mechanical properties in the unassembled configuration.

Abstract: A jewelry clip is provided for clipping onto an elongated member of a bracelet and/or necklace. The jewelry clip includes first and second parts connected by a hinge and being rotatable between open and closed states. The clip in the closed state is adapted for gripping the elongated member and in the open state is adapted for being released from the elongated member. At least one discrete spring biases the clip toward the closed state when the clip is in the open state. The clip has, in the closed state, a through hole. At least one of the first and second parts includes at least one resilient element defining at least part of an inner surface of the jewelry clip defining the through hole. When the clip is clipped onto the elongated member, the resilient element provides a frictional resistance against movement of the elongated member through the through hole.

Abstract: Disclosed is a clip for a bracelet and/or a necklace. The clip in a closed state having a through hole (402) allowing the clip to wreathe an elongated member of a bracelet and/or necklace. The clip comprises: a first part (420) and a second part (430), the first and second parts being connected by a hinge (401); and a first resilient element (460) arranged in the second part. The first resilient element comprising a first gripping surface (451) for frictionally gripping a surface of the elongated member. The second part comprises a cavity (443) extending in the radial direction, the first resilient element comprises a first resilient part (460) arranged inside the cavity and a second resilient part (470) arranged outside the cavity and extending in the radial direction from the cavity into the through hole. The cavity is configured to secure the first resilient element in said second part.

Abstract: Disclosed is a clip (100) for a bracelet and/or a necklace. The clip in a closed state having a through hole (102) allowing said clip to wreathe an elongated member (301) of a bracelet and/or necklace. The clip comprises: a first part (120) and a second part (130), the first and second parts being connected by a hinge (101); and a resilient element (150) arranged in the second part. The resilient element comprising a first gripping surface for frictionally gripping a surface (151) of the elongated member. The resilient element being spaced apart from the first part. The first part comprises a rigid second gripping surface (121, 122) for gripping a surface of the elongated member, and the resilient element and the rigid second gripping surface allows the clip to be releasably secured at selected positions along the elongated member and allows said clip in a closed state to be movable along the elongated member, on which it is positioned by exerting a force in the axial direction.
