A method of producing a jewelry item. The method comprises producing an annular or partially annular substrate formed with a plurality of slots extending from its inner periphery towards its outer periphery. A plurality of insert members are produced each formed with a slot and at least two bordered openings one to each side of the slot. The insert members are located in turn into the slots of the annular or partially annular substrate with the slots of the substrate and the insert members inter-engaging whereby each insert member is positioned generally normal to the annular or partially annular substrate. Gemstones are then located between each pair of neighboring insert members above with edges of each gem stone or the like located in the openings formed in the insert members.

The jewellery item comprises an elastic element, which extends along an extension direction of the item through the entire length of the item, and a plurality of ornamental elements, which are threaded one after the other on the elastic element so as to be slidable relative to the elastic element and are non-releasably connected in twos to one another. Each ornamental element comprises a hollow body having a pair of longitudinally opposite first faces, namely a right-hand face and a left-hand face, respectively, and a pair of radially opposite second faces, namely an inner face and an outer face, respectively. The right-hand face of each ornamental element has a through opening communicating with an inner cavity of the ornamental element.

A necklace layering and detangling apparatus with an integrated clasp that allows the wearing of multiple necklaces without overlapping, tangling, or otherwise moving relative to one another, and methods using the same, are presented. The necklace layering and detangling apparatus includes a first necklace attachment member having two or more necklace clasps, each clasp configured to be attached to a first end of a necklace chain or cord, and a second necklace attachment member having two or more loops, each loop configured to be attached to the opposite end of each necklace chain or cord. The necklace attachment members are separably attached using an integrated magnetic clasp. Thus, the wearer may put multiple necklaces on simultaneously by attaching the first necklace attachment member to the second necklace attachment member behind the wearer's neck using the integrated magnetic clasp.

A Brunnian link is a link formed from a closed loop doubled over itself to capture another closed loop to form a chain. One or more beads may be assembled to a linked item formed with Brunnian links. The beads include tapered sides to provide a curved interface that corresponds with the shape of a completed linked item.

A jewelry product comprising an ornamental element having a front side, a rear side, a first opening defined in the ornamental element between the front side and the rear side, a second opening defined in the ornamental element between the front side and the rear side, a support structure configured to enable a user to wear the ornamental element, the support structure appearing to extend away from the rear side from the first and second openings, and a connecting piece that extends along the front side from the first opening to the second opening and appearing to be connected to the support structure.

A jewelry clasp includes a lower arm and an upper arm that are hingedly joined to each other at one respective ends thereof. A locking pin is provided adjacent a second end of the upper arm and the locking pin extends toward the respective second end of the lower arm and locked inside a locking receptacle formed adjacent a second distal end of the lower arm. The locking receptacle contains two spring wires that extend transversely to the direction of the locking receptacle, the spring wires being spaced from each other at a distance slightly smaller than the diametrical size of a pin head of the locking pin. The clasp can be used as a general jewelry closure device.

A modular accessory apparatus includes a body component and a housing component. The body component has a first end and a second end, wherein the body component has a curvature such that a cap forms between the first end and the second end along the direction of extension of the curvature, and the first end has a connector. The housing component modularly couples to the connector. The housing component has a housing body, a coupler component, and a gateway block. The housing body has an opening, and the coupler component is disposed in the housing body. The gateway block is disposed in the opening, wherein the gateway block has a through-hole corresponding to the coupler component. The coupler component receives the connector via the through-hole, and the through-hole of the gateway block limits the displacement movement of the connector along a coplanar direction to the direction through the through-hole.

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.
