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.

An ornament clasp and an ornament that can be easily attached and detached. The ornament clasp includes a holder (10) on a fixed side having a holding portion (20) where a personal ornament main body (2) is held via an opening (21), a closing member (12) on a movable side rotatably attached to the holder via a pivotal attaching portion (28) and locking form inside the opening to cause a closed state, a soft member attached to the closing member at least on a side of gripping the personal ornament main body, and a spring (13) attached in a repulsive state between the holder and the closing member and pressing the closing member in a direction of closing the opening. A grip space S where the personal ornament main body is gripped in a repulsive direction of the spring is provided between the soft member and the holding portion.

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.

Implementations of a personalized watch are provided. In some implementations, the personalized watch comprises a band having a plurality of removable ornamental links.

A jewelry item comprises an elastic element extending over the entire length of the item, a plurality of decorative elements threaded one after the other on the elastic element so as to be slidable with respect thereto, and a plurality of connection elements which are each threaded on the elastic element between a pair of adjacent decorative elements and connect the decorative elements to each other, whereby the adjacent decorative elements are displaceable with respect to each other, sliding on the connection element, between a position of minimum relative distance and a position of maximum relative distance. Each connection element is connected to a first decorative element of the pair of adjacent decorative elements by a first bayonet-type engaging device and to a second decorative element of the pair of adjacent decorative elements by a second bayonet-type engaging device.

Disclosed is a luminous necklace structure. The present invention adopts the following technical solution: A luminous necklace structure, comprising a battery case; a chain rope with both ends connected with the battery case; at least one pendant connected with the chain rope; so that the battery case can supply power to the chain rope and make the pendant luminous. The chain rope comprises two conductive wires which are fixedly connected in parallel. The battery case comprises a casing and a power supply assembly provided in the casing, with two ends of the two conductive wires connected to the casing and the conductive wires electrically connected to the power supply assembly.

Layout tools for making chainmaille. The tool has a substrate with grooves, cuts, or slots formed through a top surface thereof. Each pair of cuts forms a generally v-shaped pattern along a length of the top surface. Each of the pairs of the cuts are spaced apart, have a length, and form an angle that provides a straight line path that intersects at least four of the cuts configured to receive rings to form a chainmaille. Another tool also has a substrate with grooves, cuts, or slots formed through a top surface thereof. Each cut passes through a common point. Each cut has a length corresponding to a diameter of a ring, and each of the cuts has a depth that is a function of at least the number of rings and a wire diameter of the rings.

An article of chained jewelry may include a pod unit fitting into the body of each pod unit, both stacking up vertically and horizontally. Each pod unit is provided be so that the body of each pod unit is designed to have a protrusion extending out on one side, and an opening on the opposite side of body along an axis. In operation, when one pod unit is place next to another, the protrusion extending from the body mates or connects into the opening of the adjacent pod unit, to form a chain of pod units.

A technique for closing garments provides a flexible line and a take-up component. The flexible line has a first end and a second end. Each end of the flexible line is coupled to a respective fastener, and each fastener is configured to attach to a respective garment portion, such as portions of a sweater, prayer shawl, scarf, or the like. The take-up component contains a segment of the flexible line and is adjustable to vary the segment's length. In this manner, a person can attach the two fasteners and adjust the take-up component to vary a degree of closure between the garment portions.
