Abstract
The bracelet of this invention includes an inner chain (1) formed from links (2,3) articulated in succession to one another by means of connecting pins (10). The chain is at least partially surrounded by decorative elements (11) formed for example of ceramic. The connecting pins exhibit projections (19, 20) from both lateral sides (13,14) of the inner chain and serve as retaining means for the decorative elements on the inner chain. In one embodiment of the invention the pin projections penetrate into slideways (17, 18) formed in the lateral portions (15,16) of the decorative element. Such bracelet is intended for horological applications.
