The present disclosure provides a secure yet easily adjustable link design for use in interconnected link jewelry and watches. A link for a bracelet is disclosed that allows for easy adjustment in the length of the bracelet, utilizing a bar and spring system. To remove a link from the bracelet, the links must be at approximately a right angle, force must be applied outwardly to the link with the spring from which a bar is to be removed, and the links easily separate. Similarly to couple links, the links must be at approximately a right angle. When the links are at approximately a right angle, the bar of the first link can enter the spring of the second link. When the links are at any other angle, the bar is secured in the spring and cannot be removed or dislodged. The disclosed bar and spring system allows for a secure yet easily adjustable link system.

Easy adjustable snap link

A link for a wristband for coupling with other like links comprises a link segment having a forward end and a rear end. The rear end defines a first slot and the forward end is minimally smaller than the first slot. The forward end further defines a second slot therein. At least one pin is retained by the rear end of the link segment and extends into the first slot. The at least one pin is positioned to be received in the second slot of the forward end of a like configured link. A door is selectively slidable over the second slot for capturing and retaining the at least one pin of the like configured link.
