Abstract (en)

A clasp (1) for a bracelet, a necklace or any similar article of goldsmithery or costume jewelry, comprising two elements (1, 2) capable of being fixed to the respective ends of an elongated, flexible or articulated body forming the article, to reversibly connect the ends along a common longitudinal axis. The elements (1, 2) comprise respective magnetic coupling pads (5, 6) that keep said elements interlocked in a coaxial position. The clasp further comprises male-female engagement means (3, 4) between the elements (1, 2) that are fit for being connected to each other transversally with respect to the longitudinal axis. The pads (5, 6) are associated with the engagement means (3, 4) in such a way that the magnetic attraction there between will oppose the transverse disengagement of the elements. <IMAGE>
