Abstract:

A system of jewelry intended primarily though not exclusively for children incorporating an improved interconnectable bead. The improved interconnectable bead consists of a bead body having a male and a female connector and an opening through the bead body which is substantially perpendicular to an axis drawn through the male and female connectors. The bead body is strung on a string passed through the opening. The string ends are passed through a ring opening larger than the male connector and secured. The bead body may swivel freely until the male connector abuts the outer wall of the ring. If tension is applied to the string, the male connector will slip into the opening in the ring and thereby will be partially concealed. The improved bead may be used with hats and hair attachments and means for suspending it therefrom may be hook and loop fastening means.
