20180020787 · 2018-01-25 · ·

A jewelry item has a ring part pivotally attached to a closure at one end, the closure comprising a ring continuation arm pivotally attached to the ring part, and a bias arm which in turn has a spring part and a lever pivotally attached to each other, the bias arm being rigidly attached to the ring part, so that as the ring part is opened, the lever rotates inwardly, pulling the pivoted end of the spring part, the spring part having a natural shape of smaller circumference than the ring itself so that once a certain extent is reached, the spring part pulls the lever to allow the spring part to attain its smaller diameter and thus establishes a stable open position. On closure of the ring part, the lever pushes the spring part outwardly towards the ring continuation arm to establish a second stable position to close the earring.

Methods, systems, and devices for ring sizing devices are described. A first ring sizing device may include a ring-shaped housing defined by a fixed ring size and including a first housing component and a second housing component connected at a first connection point via a hinge assembly and at a second connection point via a locking assembly. The hinge assembly may enable the second housing component to move relative to the first housing component to transition the ring-shaped housing between a closed configuration and an open configuration based on exertion of a force. A second ring sizing device may include a body and a gate movably coupled to the body via a hinge assembly. The body and the gate may form a first opening corresponding to a fixed ring size when they are aligned and may form a second opening, larger than the first opening, when they are mis-aligned.
