The present invention concerns a component (10; 110; 210) for a jewellery and/or costume jewellery item (1; 101; 201; 301), suited to be used for making chains, small chains, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and similar items. The component (10; 110; 210) comprises a first element (20; 120; 220) and a second element (40; 140; 240) connected together in such a way as to form a chain section. The first element (20; 120; 220) and the second element (40; 140; 240) can be coupled at the level of two contact areas (62, 64; 162, 164; 262, 264), wherein in at least one of the two contact areas (62, 64; 162, 164; 262, 264) the first element (20; 120; 220) comprises a first contact surface (22, 24; 122, 124; 222, 224) which is lowered with respect to the adjacent surfaces (22a, 22b; 24a, 24b) and wherein the first lowered contact surface (22, 24; 122, 124; 222, 224) is suited to receive a second contact surface (42, 44; 142, 144; 242, 244) of the second element (40; 140; 240). The component (10; 110; 210) comprises articulation means (12; 112; 212) for coupling the component (10; 110; 210) with another component (10; 110; 210) of the jewellery and/or costume jewellery item (1; 101; 201; 301).

The present disclosure provides a ringlike fabric belt traction chain and a manufacturing method of the ringlike fabric belt traction chain. A ringlike fabric belt traction chain includes several ringlike fabric belts which are fastened in sequence, wherein each ringlike fabric belt includes: a fabric layer, wherein the fabric layer has a first end and a second end, and the fabric layer is coiled and stacked to form a ringlike main body; and a first seam, wherein the first seam connects the first end and the second end of the fabric layer to the ringlike main body. During use, each fabric layer is repeatedly coiled and stacked, so that each position of the ringlike main body has a plurality of layers of portion fabric layers. The thickness of each position of the ringlike main body can be increased, thereby improving the strength of each position of the ringlike main body.

A textile connector comprises a woven element in the shape of a tubular ring and a yarn forming a plurality of loops arranged in the tubular ring. The loops provide a strength of the textile connector. A seam is formed by means of at least one yarn passing through the two ends of the woven element several times to close the tubular ring. The woven element is a tubular woven element defining a through hole from a first end to an opposite second end along a longitudinal axis. The first end is an outer end that overlaps the second end forming an inner end. The seam secures the outer end with the inner end and defines joins angularly offset from one another when observed in the longitudinal direction.
