A jewelry item, in particular a bracelet, a necklace or a ring, comprising an elastic element extending along an extension direction of the jewelry item over an entire length of the jewelry item, and a plurality of decorative elements which are threaded one after the other on the elastic element so as to be slidable with respect to the elastic element and are non-releasably connected to each other,
- wherein each decorative element of said plurality of decorative elements comprises a hollow body having a pair of longitudinally opposite first faces, that is, a right face and a left face, respectively, and a pair of radially opposite second faces, that is, an internal face and an external face, respectively,
- wherein the right face and the left face of each decorative element have a first through opening and a second through opening, respectively, said first through opening and second through opening communicating with an internal cavity of the decorative element, and
- wherein the jewelry item further comprises, for each pair of adjacent decorative elements, a connection element, which is threaded on the elastic element and is connected on one side to a first decorative element of said pair of adjacent decorative elements and on a longitudinally opposite side with a second decorative element of said pair of adjacent decorative elements, whereby said first decorative element and said second decorative element are movable relative to each other, sliding on the connection element, between a position of minimum relative distance and a position of maximum relative distance,
- wherein each connection element is connected to a respective first decorative element of said plurality of decorative elements by a respective first bayonet engaging device comprising a first male engaging part formed by a first enlarged-section head portion of the connection element and a first female engaging part formed by said first through opening and by the internal cavity of the hollow body of said first decorative element,
- wherein each connection element is connected to a respective second decorative element of said plurality of decorative elements by a respective second bayonet engaging device comprising a second male engaging part formed by a second enlarged-section head portion of the connection element, on an opposite side to said first enlarged-section head portion, and a second female engaging part formed by said second through opening and by the internal cavity of the hollow body of said second decorative element, and
- wherein said first bayonet engaging device and said second bayonet engaging device are configured in such a way that coupling between the connection element and the respective first decorative element and coupling between the connection element and the respective second decorative element are obtained through insertion of the first male engaging part of the connection element into the first female engaging part of the first decorative element and through insertion of the second male engaging part of the connection element into the second female engaging part of the second decorative element, with the connection element being placed in a given first angular position relative to the first decorative element and the second decorative element, and then through rotation by a given angle of the connection element relative to the first decorative element and the second decorative element, so as to place the connection element in a given second angular position relative to the first decorative element and the second decorative element, rotated with respect to said first angular position, in which second angular position the first male engaging part of the connection element is secured in the hollow body of the first decorative element and the second male engaging part of the connection element is secured in the hollow body of the second decorative element and thus prevent the connection element from disengaging from the first decorative element and the second decorative element.
