An adjustable necklace of a type in which a length of chain has first and second ends which are each anchored in one of a pair of adjustment elements with a segment adjacent the other end passing through the adjustment element to be resiliently held in position to effect a given adjustment. The adjustment elements each include first and second mating members which enclose an anchor for one end of the chain, a resilient frictional member, and first and second mating housing members having mutually interlocking means permitting rapid assembly with an absence of a soldering operation.
