1. A jewelry article, in particular a bracelet, comprising two branches and a clasp comprising a lock pivotally mounted on a pivot integral with or rigidly connected to one end of one of the two branches, wherein the lock comprises a central passage extending along an axis of the pivot such that the pivot is arranged inside said central passage and a cavity communicating with the central passage and opening onto one of two lateral sides of the lock, the clasp further comprising a connecting member integral with or connected to one end of the other of the two branches and intended to be fitted into the central passage and the cavity of the lock, the connecting member and the cavity being shaped so as to make it possible, on one hand, to bring the jewelry article from an unlocked configuration to a locked configuration by rotating the lock about the pivot in one direction after the connecting member has been fitted into the lock and, on the other hand, to bring the jewelry article from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration by rotating the lock about the pivot in an opposite direction so that the connecting member can be removed from the lock.
