Abstract: An element (10) of amusement articles includes: a flat body with two opposite faces (10a, 10b), a hub region (12), and a contour region (14) around the hub region (12), a plurality of coupling elements arranged facing one another along the contour region (14) in an alternating sequence of first coupling elements (18) and second coupling elements (16, 28), wherein the first coupling elements are in the form of swivel-coupling recesses (18) and the second coupling elements are chosen from between: a) toothed coupling sectors (16); and b) swivel-engagement heads (28) complementary to said swivel-coupling recesses (18), and complementary axial-engagement formations (20a, 20b) provided on one (10a) and the other (10b) of said opposite faces. The element (10) may be used as pendant or necklace, as component of a modular construction toy, possibly with different possibilities of connection, such as (e.g., radial and axial) coupling and swivel connection, as wheel (e.g.
