Disclosed is a clip (100) for a bracelet and/or a necklace. The clip in a closed state having a through hole (102) allowing said clip to wreathe an elongated member (301) of a bracelet and/or necklace. The clip comprises: a first part (120) and a second part (130), the first and second parts being connected by a hinge (101); and a resilient element (150) arranged in the second part. The resilient element comprising a first gripping surface for frictionally gripping a surface (151) of the elongated member. The resilient element being spaced apart from the first part. The first part comprises a rigid second gripping surface (121, 122) for gripping a surface of the elongated member, and the resilient element and the rigid second gripping surface allows the clip to be releasably secured at selected positions along the elongated member and allows said clip in a closed state to be movable along the elongated member, on which it is positioned by exerting a force in the axial direction.

A device with lighting creating the appearance of animations is disclosed herein. The device includes: a first layer of translucent material and a second layer of translucent material, where the first and second layers of translucent material are attached to form a combined piece of translucent material, and where a first image is etched into the first layer and a second image is etched into the second layer; a housing unit including a first LED used solely with the first layer and a second LED used solely with the second layer; control circuitry connected to the first and the second LEDs; and a power source connected to the control circuitry.

A jewelry setting including a structure having an outer circumference in a round shape and setting a first set of stones, a second set of stones and a third set of stones, the first set of stones being set within the structure using a combination of prongs and a first set of mounting apertures, the second set of stones being set within the structure using a combination of the prongs and a second set of mounting apertures, the third set of stones being set within the structure using a friction setting and a third set of mounting apertures, the first set of stones, the second set of stones and the third set of stones being arranged so that the first set of stones, the second set of stones and the third set of stones appear to be a continuous, uninterrupted surface thus creating an illusion of a large stone in the round shape.

A jewel includes a bracelet and a pendant reversibly attachable to the bracelet at an end. The pendant includes an ornamental element connected to a pin at a first end, and an elongated coupling transversally connected to the pin at a second end. An O-ring is on the pin between the coupling and the ornamental element. The bracelet is integrally connected to a block, including a cavity accommodating the coupling, and an opening crossable by the coupling by inserting it into the cavity. The O-ring is compressed between the block and the ornamental element when the coupling is inserted into the cavity. One inserts the coupling into the cavity and rotates the pendant so the coupling is arranged transversally to the opening of the block. The O-ring keeps the coupling against the portion of block delimiting the opening, preventing relative rotation between the pendant and the block.

An apparatus used with a stud earring is presented. The apparatus has an elongate body having an upper end, a lower end, a front surface, and a back surface. The apparatus further has an attachment means having a front side and a back side. The attachment means is generally located at said upper end of the elongate body and the front side of the attachment means is removably coupled to a back end of the stud earring by a securing means. The securing means is removably coupled to the back side of the attachment means of the elongate body. The elongated body may have a design which can be easily removed and replaced. Further it may also or alternatively have coupling coupled to the lower end of the elongated body.

An interchangeable jewelry system or kit can include a jewelry base, one or more charms, and one or more keys. A manufacturer can configure the jewelry base so that a user can wear the jewelry system as a ring, necklace, bracelet, or any other type of jewelry. The jewelry base can include a recessed surround and a post recess. A manufacturer can size the charm to fit within the recessed surround and be configured in a variety of ways to lock into the recessed surround. A manufacturer can configure a key in a variety of ways so that a user can unlock the dot fitting from the recessed surround with the key. Once unlocked, the owner can remove the charm from the recessed surround of the jewelry base and can select an alternative dot fitting with a different design to lock into the recessed surround.

A wearable or ornamental item is made up of at least two layers of transparent plastic that are recessed to form, when joined together, an internal passage having dimensions sufficient to loosely accommodate decorative pieces such as confetti. The wearable or ornamental item may be an eyeglass frame, and may be illuminated by LEDs fixed within the passage and connected by wires to a battery power source also fixed within the passage.

A bezel setting comprises: a bezel body having a circumscribing wall with a given body thickness, an upper surface sized to enable a corresponding pavilion surface of a precious stone to rest thereon, and a bendable lip substantially surrounding the upper surface of the bezel body, the lip having an interior surface shaped to be substantially matched and complementary to an exterior surface defining a girdle surface of the precious stone, and the lip has a thickness dimension that is substantially smaller than said body thickness of said bezel body. The lip is made of a material that is compressible and bendable so it can be bent over to tightly wrap the girdle and slightly cover a crown region of the precious stone.

A jewelry apparatus comprises a chain and a decorative element having an opening disposed along an axis for slidably receiving the chain. The decorative element comprises a first portion, a second portion and at least two supporting members. The second portion is spaced in relation to the first portion on opposed sides of the opening. A first ornamental surface and a second ornamental surface are disposed in opposed outwardly facing directions relative to each other along a transverse axis. The two supporting members connect the first and second portions and are disposed on opposed sides of the longitudinal opening. The decorative element is free to rotate about the longitudinal axis between a first position in which the first ornamental surface faces outwardly from the user when worn by the user and a second position in which the second ornamental surface faces outwardly from the user.
