A link component (10A-10D) is described for assembling a jewelery item featuring a chain-link structure. Each link component consists of an internally hollow body comprising a pair of side surfaces (12, 14) substantially opposed to and spaced from each other, one or more junction elements (28, 30) for connecting the side surfaces, at least one connecting arm (16; 18), which projects outwards from one of the side surfaces, and at least one through opening (20; 22), obtained on the opposed side surface. The connecting arm of a first link component is designed to be inserted into a corresponding through opening of a second adjacent link component to connect these two link components. At least one pin (24) having a substantially polyhedral shape and having overall dimensions smaller than the overall dimensions of such connecting arm is provided on one of the side surfaces, in addition to the connecting arm, whereas a corresponding connecting through hole (26) having shape and dimensions substantially equal to those of the pin is provided on the opposed side surface. The pin of a link component is designed to be inserted into a corresponding connecting through hole of an adjacent link component, so as to prevent a relative movement of rotation around the axis of the pin, between such adjacent link components in an assembled configuration of a jewelery item.

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.

The present invention is directed to a holder for a chain and in particular a jewelry chain, such as a neck chain. The holder includes a spool and a clip. The spool includes a core body having an outer surface, a proximal end, and a distal end. A first flange extends upwards from the proximal end of the core body, the first flange having an inner side and an outer side. A second flange extends upwards from the distal end of the core body, the second flange having an inner side and an outer side. A pin upstands from the outer surface of the core body, wherein, the inner side of the first flange and the inner side of the second flange are in face to face relation. The outer surface of the core body, the inner side of the first flange, and the inner side of the second flange are continuous and form a spooling region. The clip configured to fit onto the spoon and prevent slipping of the clip from the edges of the flanges.

The jewelry system of the present invention is used for easily layering jewelry by connecting strands of similar types of jewelry, such as necklace strands, into a layered jewelry piece (multi-strand necklace), and which prevents tangling and provides a distinctive presentation of each layer. The present invention allows for variety in the combining and re-arranging of individual strands in any desired order, by the use of end couplers on the ends of each strand and one or more connector pairs disposed on one or more of strands. This allows for the creation of customized layered jewelry pieces that can be adjusted to suit a variety of styles. The design of the present invention allows for the use of singular strands to form into a layered jewelry piece that is distinctively presented in a symmetrical, cascading arrangement, which moves uniformly as one piece with the weight of gravity, virtually eliminating the risk of tangling. An additional purpose of this system is to have more versatility for the user's jewelry and increase the convenience of wearing fully constructed, customizable, layered jewelry pieces which can be put on and removed as one piece.

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.

A jewelry chain having a plurality of links including a plurality of connecting links and one or a plurality of decorative links. Each decorative link comprises an outline of an alphanumeric character and becomes part of the chain by connection from at least two connecting links. The connecting links can easily pass through open sections of the alphanumeric character outline to allow rotation and sliding movement in at least two different directions so that the alphanumeric character can provide different appearances when the jewelry chain is worn. The chain can form or be incorporated in necklaces, bracelets or earrings.
