Method for assembling tennis bracelets and necklaces

Abstract

A bracelet or necklace link and method for facilitating the assembling of tennis bracelets (gold links set with diamonds), other bracelets and necklaces. A wire or rail or cable is used to assemble the links to form a bracelet or necklace. In this manner, the links do not need to be connected one by one, and soldered one by one, but rather they are threaded together on a wire that runs through openings in the links. The soldering is performed only at the beginning and end of the assembling of the bracelet or necklace, at the first and last links, with no need to solder each and every link at the joint.

 at least two holes each adapted to receive a flexible cable or wire.    
   
   
       2 . The links defined by  claim 1  wherein each of said links has an identical shape.  
   
   
       3 . A bracelet or necklace including a plurality of links, each link comprising: 
 at least two holes each adapted to receive a flexible cable or wire.    
   
   
       4 . The bracelet defined by  claim 3  wherein each of said links has an identical shape.  
   
   
       5 . A method for making a jewelry bracelet or necklace comprising: 
 a) molding or casting a plurality of links;    b) drilling at least two holes in each link;    c) threading a wire or cable through each of the at least two holes to form a complete bracelet or necklace;    d) affixing a first link and a last link to the wire or cable by applying solder.    
   
   
       6 . The method defined by  claim 5  wherein each of said links is identically shaped.
