Portable decorative element with a metal structure (2) made from cutout metal plate with decorative openings, on the back face of which there is a lining forming a plate that can be seen through these openings, that can be elastically bent (4), the back face of the metal plate comprising attachment means (10, 12) holding the lining (4) in place and clamping this lining, pressing it into contact with the back face of the structure.

A jewelry apparatus can include a base member having a hippocrepiform configuration, the base member having a first prong and a second prong. The jewelry apparatus can include a coupling member operably configured for attachment to the base member. The coupling member can include a disk member having a first side and a second side, the first side having a first set of indicia depicting a first partial portion of a word, the second side having a second set of indicia depicting a second partial portion of the word, a first projection extending from the disk member operably configured for attachment to the first prong and a second projection extending from the disk member operably configured for attachment to the second prong. The coupling member is configured to rotate such that the first set of indicia and the second set of indicia create the visual appearance of the word.

Provided is a timepiece band that improves durability, water resistance, and fit. The timepiece band includes a first band, which is a single part, configured from metallic glass with an elastic modulus greater than or equal to 30 GPa and less than or equal to 70 GPa, and an elastic limit greater than or equal to 2% and less than or equal to 20%, and a second band, which is also a single part, configured from metallic glass with an elastic modulus greater than or equal to 30 GPa and less than or equal to 70 GPa, and an elastic limit greater than or equal to 2% and less than or equal to 20%.

A method for assembling at least a first element and a second element to form, once assembled, an external component for a portable device, including the steps of: a) making the first element; b) making the second element; c) arranging at least a first groove in the first element and at least a second groove in the second element; d) placing and holding the first and second element end-to-end with at least a third connecting element which is inserted and locked in the first and second grooves.

The invention relates to a decorative article with a system (7) for interlocking two portions (5, 6) of at least one part (3, 4), comprising a screw (8) and nut (9) assembly which passes through each portion (5, 6) and is intended to press the two portions (5, 6) against each other by screwing. According to the invention, the interlocking system (7) comprises a flexible safety device (13) so that the screw (8) and nut (9) assembly can continue to be screwed and unscrewed whilst elastically preventing relative displacement between the screw (8) and the nut (9) below a predetermined torque.

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.
