Abstract
A decoration for a bracelet or a watchband, such as an expansion watchband, is characterized by a decorative chip and a bracket for attaching the chip to the watchband. The bracket is generally U-shaped and has a bottom wall on which a bottom surface of the watchband rests, side walls extending from opposite sides of the bottom wall upwardly past opposite sides of the watchband to above an upper surface of the watchband, and flanges extending inwardly in facing relationship from upper ends of the side walls. The chip has a pair of opposite sides in parallel relationship and a channel extends in and along the length of each opposite side. The chip is slid onto the bracket with the facing side wall flanges being received in the channels in the sides of the chip and with the watchband being captured between the chip and the bracket. The bracket is made of a relatively rigid yet flexible material and its dimensions are such that the watchband is gripped between the bracket and the chip, so that the bracket attaches the decorative chip to the watchband.
