Article of jewellery

An article of jewellery, especially in the shape of a butterfly or insect has two attachments, one for each end of a chain or a string. The attachments are fixed to the free ends of inherently rigid wires, the other ends of said wires being fastened to a body of said article of jewellery in such a way that they articulate freely with said body. An eye or sleeve encircling each one of said wires and being slideable along these wires is fixed to one end of an elongated part of a pair of such elongated parts, the other ends of the latter being fastened to the body of the article of jewellery in such a way that they articulate freely with said body, the points of attachment of said elongated parts on said body being spaced apart from the points of attachment of said wires on said body. This construction allows a movement between different parts of the article of jewellery when the wearer of the article of jewellery moves, creating interesting changes in the contour of the article of jewellery.
