Functional jewelry is disclosed. A bracelet includes a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), a main control unit, and positional and situational sensors, typically including an accelerometer, as well as a decorative, interchangeable fascial layer. The bracelet may also include sensors such as capacitive touch sensors, a microphone, and a color sensor. A radio transceiver within the bracelet is adapted to implement a protocol such as BLUETOOTH® 4.0, and is adapted to allow the bracelet to communicate in peer-to-peer or master-slave mode. Two users can pair their bracelets in person, usually with a gestural trigger, for shared light displays, multi-player games, and other types of interactions. Larger groups can pair temporarily and contextually for multi-user displays and interactions, in an ad hoc network with distributed functions. Real-world interactions are communicated to a social network with profiles linked to the individual bracelets.

A versatile jewelry includes a main body having an inner surface arranged to be worn against the wrist and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. First and second end portions define a clearance sized to receive the wrist when the main body is donned by the user. At least one retaining feature comprises a plurality of hooks. A hair band is adapted to be selectively secured to the main body via the at least one retaining feature and to span the clearance at a height above the inner surface. The at least one retaining feature maintains the hair band in place on the main body and distributes pressure from the hair band away from the wrist. The hair band has an elasticity and the main body has a rigidity arranged to maintain the hair band at a height above the inner surface across the clearance.

A jewelry item comprises a ring-shaped spring; a ring-shaped chain comprising a plurality of chain links wherein each chain link is slidably attached to the support element; each chain link comprises a plate having a first surface facing the spring and a second surface opposite to the first surface; a seat and a hook opposite to each other, the hook is inserted into a seat of a subsequent chain link so as to lock the chain links to each other while allowing the chain links to reversibly slide from a contact position to a distanced position with respect to each other.

The present invention relates to accessories for which small gemstones can be utilized and a method for manufacturing same. The technical gist of the present invention is to firmly fix small gemstones, which are difficult to use due to the small size thereof, to accessories (rings, bracelets, or earrings) by a simple method, and minimize the deformation of earrings due to heat by welding a wire to the earrings with laser, thereby reducing manufacturing cost and increasing completeness of products (accessories).

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 first projection or the second projection is configured to produce a tactile indication when inserted into or removed from the first prong or the second prong.

A habit bracelet fabricated from a flexible material such as silicone or rubber. The bracelet has the a plurality of removable elements such as for example, break-off and/or punch-out elements. The removable elements can have a variety of shapes, such as, for example, triangular, square, rectangular, circular, semicircular, pentagonal, trapezoidal, star-shaped, and/or heart-shaped. In various embodiments, the bracelet has 21, 42, or 66 removable elements corresponding to a number of days a person wishes to perform a targeted behavior.

A wearable dispensing device includes a pouch made of a flexible material and having opposed first and second walls defining an interior configured for containing a fluid therein, the pouch further including an outlet port in fluid communication with the interior. A support has a first portion attached to the pouch and a second portion contiguous with the first portion, with the second portion being configured for attachment of the pouch to an outer surface of a human wearer. A dispensing tube has a first end in fluid communication with the outlet port and a second end configured for fluid dispensing. A kit for assembling the wearable dispensing device and a method of operating the wearable dispensing device are also disclosed.

A bracelet is described including a first compartment configured to store a mask and second compartment configured to store a flask for dispensing a solution, such as for example an antibacterial gel. In one embodiment, the flask compartment may be worn on the side of the wrist adjacent the palm, so that pressing on the compartment can dispense solution directly into the palm of the wearer. The bracelet may have a variety fashionable and ornamental appearances with the first and/or second compartments built into a front or rear of the bracelet.

An item of wearable jewelry, such as a bracelet, includes a support having an energizable indicator. A sensor detects a triggering event, and a control unit energizes the indicator to generate a default indicating condition by default, and to change the default indicating condition in response to detection of the triggering event.

A wearable or stationary cognitive reminder for mechanical and electronic tracking of highly repeatable actions represented by selectable indicia on a band performed by moving a slide-able “window” frame and a bezel ring slider. Examples of use are: pill dosage counter, golf bracelet scorer, and bracelet voting device. Chosen indicia position and clock time are recorded and transmitted to non-included electronic device for further characterization or action. Non-included data receivers include cell phones, data tracking devices, or electronic games. Transferred data is available for continuous tracking, compilation, additional action, and verification of selected indicia.
