Necklace/bracelet extender

Abstract

The invention includes easily manufactured and assembled parts which when arranged together, make accessible jewelry that ordinarily could not be worn. If the short chain is equipped with different sized o rings and findings on each end, then the necklace or bracelet now fits and becomes a useful piece of jewelry.

1 . What I claim as my invention is a system which uses a chain consisting of two halves. Each half is made up of graduated links. Each half has both a large finding on one end and a small finding on the other end. These findings fit into each other, and the findings of a bracelet or necklace, so that the wearer can close and wear a piece of jewelry which does not fit over his head or his wrist. 
 1. Bracelets vary in the designs which allow the wearer to place them on their wrist. A clasp closure can prove challenging to the wearer if it is close to or exactly the size of the wearer's wrist. The bracelet extender is designed to make closing the piece of jewelry easier.    I claim as the bracelet extender, the use of a chain about 1″ in length consisting of two halves made up of graduating links. The bracelet extender may be longer or shorter, than 1″ and packages can be marked so that a consumer can choose the desired size.    On the left end of the left half of the bracelet extender is a small finding (ie. small lobster or spring ring) which fits into the small O ring of the bracelet. The left half of the bracelet extender consists of two or more gradually larger links and it ends with a large finding (ie. lobster or spring ring). The right half of the bracelet extender has a large O ring into which its other half hooks. The right half of the bracelet extender has two or more links in the chain that gradually are smaller. The right half of the bracelet extender has at its end a small O ring into which the final at the end of the bracelet fits.    The halves of the bracelet extender are connected to each other and the bracelet by these different sized finals which make the bracelet easier to close and to wear.    2. Some necklace wearers have difficulty closing a necklace behind their neck when the necklace is too small to go over their head. Some persons say “If it doesn't go over my head, I don't wear it”. This eliminates beautiful neck pieces that are too short to pass over the wearer's head. I claim as the necklace extender, the use of a chain more than 1″ in length consisting of two halves made of graduating links. The necklace extender may be longer or shorter, and packages can be marked so that a consumer can choose the desired size.    On the left end of the left half of the necklace extender is a small finding (ie. small lobster ring or spring ring) which fits into the small O ring of the necklace. The left half of the necklace extender consists of two or more gradually larger links in the chain and it ends with a large finding (ie. lobster or spring ring). The right half of the necklace extender has at its left end, a large O ring into which its other half hooks. The right half of the necklace extender has several links that are gradually smaller. The right half of the necklace extender has at its right end a small O ring into which the final of the necklace hooks. The necklace extender is connected to each other, and by different sized finals to the necklace. The necklace extender makes the necklace easier to close and to wear.
