Jewelry clip

Claim 1

Jewelry accessory clips, used in pairs in combination with two or more ornamental chains, each said clip is comprised of a pair of members, connected at one end by pivot means, which means is a hinge and movable from an open position, each member having opposing flat surfaces and made of material of proper tensile strength and elasticity having the ends, opposite the pivoting means, formed so that the upper member snaps over and is captured by the similarity formed and opposing end of the lower member, the upper member having a slight angled protrusion at the tip providing both enough pressure so that a wearer can use a fingernail to unsnap the ends of the two members, and sufficient protrusion to guide said upper member over the lower member, the dimensions and fabrication of the ends of two members when snapped closed orient the opposing flat surfaces parallel to one another; affixed to one of the paralleled opposing surfaces is a filler of non-absorbent resilient material of sufficient length to fit entirely between the pivot and the formed ends of the lower member, of sufficient width to be affixed stably to its surface and high enough to just approach but not touch the opposing surface when the clip is snapped closed, so that any ornamental chain placed between the members will be pressed into the resilient material of said filler by the pressure of the opposing member when the members are snapped closed.
