1. A connector for connecting both ends of an elongated linear ornamental accessory which is to be put to use in the form of an endless chain, the connector comprising a male part and a female part, which can be fitted into and separated from each other, and wherein magnets are provided in the male part and the female part in such a manner that when the male part is inserted into the female part through a fitting opening of the female part, magnetic attraction of the magnets causes a change in positional relationship between the male part and the female part so that the male part and the female part rotate relative to each other with the result that the male part cannot pass through the fitting opening of the female part without an external force. |
