An interchangeable decorative element system includes a decorative portion and a base portion. The decorative portion holds a decorative element and includes a plurality of studs. The base portion has a plurality of tracks, each of which has a guiding portion configured to be engaged by a respective stud of the decorative portion. In a first configuration, the decorative portion is aligned with the base portion, such that each of the decorative portion is received within the first end of the guiding portion of a respective track of the base portion. Rotation of the decorative portion in a first direction relative to the base portion causes each stud received within the first end of the guiding portion of each track to move along the guiding portion until the stud engages the respective catch, thereby transitioning the interchangeable decorative element system from the first position to a second, assembled position.

A jewelry item which includes sliding collets is disclosed. The collets may slide along first and second elongated collet mounting structures, such as a wire, recess or flange. The covets may have one or more wings and/or one or more bosses which are received by the first and second elongated collet mounting structures.
