An ornament for being strung on an elongated member includes a shell having a cavity and a first friction element. The ornament may be arranged in an un-assembled configuration, in which the first friction element is un-attached to the shell, and an assembled configuration, in which the first friction element is attached to the shell. The first friction element has a first retaining part, arranged in the cavity when the ornament is in the assembled configuration, and a first friction part attached to the first retaining part and comprising a first gripping surface for frictionally gripping a surface of the elongated member. The ornament, in the assembled configuration, is strung on the elongated member, and is releasably secured in a first location on the elongated member. The first friction part and the first retaining part have different material and/or mechanical properties in the unassembled configuration.

The closure mechanism may or may not include a hinge. In some implementations, a locking pin may extend from the second arm and be inserted into a locking receptacle formed in a second arm to lock the two components together. The locking receptacle may include one or more wires (e.g., spring and/or precast) that extend transversely to the direction of the locking receptacle. The closure mechanism may be used as a general jewelry closure device and/or to couple segments of j ewelry together.

Jewelry that includes a topographical feature of a selected geographic location is made by obtaining topographic data for a geographic area around the selected location. The data is then used to create a topographic surface that is representative of the topography of the area and the 3D surface is adjusted for scale, viewpoint, and other features and merged with a template for a piece of jewelry. The resulting merged object is printed and the printed object is cast to produce a piece of jewelry that includes a topographic representation of the selected location.

A jewelry product the form of an annular copper ring having a receiving passage through-hole. The annular copper ring shank includes a through-bore extending from an outer circumferential surface to an inner circumferential surface in a radial direction of the copper ring. The annular copper ring shank has a flattened area on the outer circumferential surface to facilitate engagement with an inner surface of the head of an ornament. The ornament includes a threaded shaft extending from the inner surface of the head. The threaded shaft engages the through-bore and terminates at a flanged end to make a secured connection between the screw and the inner circumferential surface of the ring shank. The flanged end is flush with the inner circumferential surface of the ring shank to provide a continuous, smooth transition between the inner circumferential surface and the flange.

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.
