A jewelry clasp includes a female end component having a first push-button fastening means and a male end component that is releasably securable within the female end component. The male end component has a second push-button fastening means that engages a portion of the first push-button fastening means. The engaging portion of the first push-button fastening means is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. An ornamental component for jewelry that has an elongate member includes a housing, a channel passing through the housing, and a slot within the housing. The slot is substantially parallel to the channel and passes through a wall of the housing to the channel.

A customizable necklace comprising a necklace body, a first fastener and a second fastener. The necklace body forms a closed loop. The first fastener is configured to disconnectably and selectively secure to different positions along the necklace body. Similarly, the second fastener is configured to disconnectably and selectively secure to different positions along the necklace body. The customizable necklace system is configured to adopt multiple usage positions, in which the first and second fasteners are attached to the necklace body and to one another forming a first loop and a second loop, wherein the first loop has a different size in each usage position and the second loop has a different size in each usage position.

A method of making tennis bracelets includes coupling together collet elements (2) in a repetitive series, wherein an L-shaped lateral appendage (3) of a collet element is inserted into a through hole (6) of an immediately adjacent collet element and then bent against a face (7) of the collet element to which it belongs. The collet elements are inserted according to the repetitive series into an assembly template (10) implemented as a self-supporting unit provided with fasteners (16) for fastening the unit to first and second carriage supports (22, 36) of first and second machines (18, 19), which cause the assembly template to translate under a die block (26) of a press device (24) of the first machine. The lateral appendages (3) of the collet elements are bent in succession under a laser welding head (38) of the second machine, for welding the appendages (3) to their respective collet elements.

A jewelry link assembly and a method of assembling jewelry chain links are disclosed. The jewelry link assembly comprises a male member comprising a ball portion having two prongs at opposite ends. The jewelry link assembly comprises a female member having two wings. Each wing comprises a prong receiving section. The ball portion is received between the two wings such that the prongs are made to slide into the prong receiving sections provided at the two wings for interlocking the male and female members. The jewelry link assembly further comprises chain links connected at far ends of the male and female members for forming a two-piece design configuration of the chain links together with the male and female members. The chain links, and the male and female members, are connected alternatively and successively to form a jewelry link assembly.

A wearable decorative element comprises a ring-shaped elastic member (EM), supporting a plurality of female elements (FEs), wherein each FEs comprises a hollow body extended between a first and second through opening (TO) obtained between two lateral walls opposite each other for passage and sliding of the EM, a plurality of male elements (MEs) adapted to allow passage and sliding of the EM therein, each of the MEs inserting in a sliding manner partly inside one of the first TO and the second TO of one of the adjacent FEs to vary the mutual distance between the FEs along a direction of sliding, and a block element associated with one of either the FE or the male element transversely with respect to the direction of sliding to limit the mutual sliding between the FEs on the MEs and to cover the EM when distance between the adjacent FEs is maximum.

A modifiable jewelry system. The modifiable jewelry system may include a main jewelry body, wherein the main jewelry body may include a track along at least a portion of the main jewelry body and a securing component. The modifiable jewelry system may further include one or more attachable/detachable components, the one or more attachable/detachable components may include a decorative portion and a retaining body portion, wherein the retaining body portion may be configured to be received by the track of the main body, and wherein the received retaining body portion may be releasable retained within an internal portion of the track via the securing mechanism.

An apparatus, kit, and methods for forming a bead between bead-forming blocks having internal bead-forming channels are provided. The bead-forming channels of adjacent bead-forming blocks are slidably engaged to manipulate a measured amount of modeling compound between the bead-forming blocks and within an internal space between the opposing channels. In one embodiment, the bead-forming blocks maintain orientation with respect to an axis of travel based on a block guide. Further, the measured amount of modeling compound is determined using an integrated measuring feature coupled to at least one of the pair of bead-forming blocks. The internal volume of an integrated measuring feature corresponds to a threshold amount of modeling compound for manipulating between the pair of blocks and forming a bead while contacting at least a portion of the mated bead-forming channels. In further aspects, a molded bead may be coated with a multicomponent bead-coating mixture. Multi-component bead-coating mixtures and methods of using thereof are provided.
