Piece of jewellery comprising a chain with clip(s) for making a versatile adornment

A piece of jewelry comprising at least one chain having two opposite ends, at least one of the two opposite ends of the chain comprising a hollow clip fixed removably or irremovably to said at least one of the two opposite ends by a fixing device, the chain being made up of links articulated together, the links being separated from each other by connections forming articulations between the links, said hollow clip being made up of two half-shells, each half-shell comprising an edge extent, forming two edges of said hollow clip, one on each half shell, each of the two edges delimiting a hollow internal space of the half-shell, each of the two edges comprising at least three notches, said at least three notches on a first of the two edges being opposite to and facing said at least three notches on a second of the two edges, each opposite and facing notches form a pair of notches defining a chain passage, the half-shells being hinged together by a hinge between a closed position in which the two respective edges of the two half-shells are brought together to close the hollow clip and an open position in which the two edges of the two half-shells are separated from each other over at least part of the edge extents of the two edges in order to allow a portion of the chain to be introduced between the two edges and through the hollow internal space and so that the portion of the chain is retained in the hollow clip by being blocked as to extraction and translation when the hollow clip is in the closed position, the portion of the chain corresponding to a part of the chain which is gripped in the hollow clip and which enters or leaves the hollow clip through the chain passage,

• wherein each link has a determined maximum transverse dimension, each connection has a determined maximum transverse dimension, and in the closed position of the hollow clip, the chain passage has a determined minimum transverse dimension and a determined maximum transverse dimension, the piece of jewelry being configured so that in the closed position of the hollow clip, the minimum transverse dimension of the chain passage is substantially equal to the maximum transverse dimension of each connection and the maximum transverse dimension of the chain passage is less than the maximum transverse dimensions of the links, and
• wherein the hollow clip is configured such that the closed position constitutes a rest position, the two respective edges of the two half-shells being constrained by a resilient clipping device for closing the hollow clip, the open position having to be obtained by a manual action countering an action of the resilient clipping device.
