Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021038395A1] The invention relates to an article of jewellery (10) comprising a first and a second curved branch (12a, 12b) which each include an outer curved surface (20a, 20b), an inner curved surface and side edges (21a, 21b). The first curved branch (12a) comprises an end (13a) which is juxtaposed with an end (13b) of the second curved branch (12b) to form an interface (15). The article of jewellery (10) further comprises a flexible blade (16) arranged in a housing (17) to hold the article of jewellery in a closed configuration in which a free end (14a, 14b) of the first and second curved branches (12a, 12b) are arranged facing one another. The two free ends (14a, 14b) can be spaced apart from each other so as to be separated by a certain distance when a stress is exerted on each branch in an opposite direction. The first and second curved branches (12a, 12b) each comprise, on the inner curved surface thereof, a first and a second portion (17a, 17b), respectively, of the housing (17), inside which the flexible blade (16) is attached. The flexible blade extends continuously in the first and second portion (17a, 17b) of the housing (17) thus covering the interface (15).
