Abstract
Abstract A wrist encircling one-piece discontinuous flexible bracelet has a recessed outside surface protected by an upstanding ridge on each edge and a thin flexible decorative cover which fits between the upstanding ridges around the bracelet with the cover attached to the bracelet at spaced locations so that when the bracelet is sprung open to slip it onto the wrist to wear it or remove it from the wrist, the cover is free between attachments to bend away from the bracelet to relieve it and the attachments from the compressive loads on the decorative cover.
