A spring ring clasp, with a closed state in which the spring ring clasp (1) forms a closed ring (2), and with an opened state in which the ring (2) is opened, having an external tube (3), an internal tube (4) which in an overlap region (5) protrudes into the external tube (3), and a spring (6) which is disposed in a cavity (7) configured by the external tube (3) and the internal tube (4). For opening the spring ring clasp (1), the external tube being displaceable relative to the internal tube (4) counter to a spring force caused by the spring (6), and the spring (6) at least in the closed state protruding from the internal tube (4) and protruding into the external tube (3). The use of such a spring ring clasp (1) is in the jewelry industry but is not limited to this sector.

A clasp and connection to an opposing ring. Although applicable to any clasp system, it is especially relevant to jewelry connections in necklaces or bracelets whereby the connecting rings are quite small requiring visual acuity and manual dexterity to operate. The user pulls back the plunger within the clasp ring and sets it in a locked and open position allowing the user to gain manual dexterity for guiding the clasp towards the opposing ring. A feature in which a magnetic portion of the clasp and opposing ring allows the two rings to be guided towards each other and position them for connection and further ensure tight closure. Since visual acuity is not always possible, this magnetic guide is critical.

A small and handheld tool for opening small clasps and other closures. More specifically, the tool features an elongated handle, having a slider mechanism and a push button. The slider mechanism operates a slider or positioning arm and the spring-loaded push button operates a pair of clamps to hold the clasp in position. The slider arm and the pair of clamps extend from one end of the elongated handle. The pair of clamps secure the clasp between their rubber-tipped ends and the slider arm opens the clasp by moving a tab of the clasp radially along the surface of the clasp.

An ornamental article includes a single piece of metal wire. The ornamental article includes a single piece of organic fiber twine knotted around the metal wire to produce an elongate member with first and second ends. The ornamental article further include at least one crimp connector located on at least one of the first and second ends. The ornamental article further includes a clasp located on one of the first and second ends for connecting to the other of the first and second ends.

The invention has two primary claims which in manipulating a clasp and connection to an opposing ring. Although applicable to any clasp system, it is especially relevant to jewelry connections in necklaces or bracelets whereby the connecting rings are quite small requiring visual acuity and manual dexterity to operate. This invention builds upon prior art described in the Spring Ring Patent No 267,112, Nov. 7, 1882. The first claim of this invention allows the user to pull back the plunger within the clasp ring and set it in a locked and open position allowing the user to gain manual dexterity for guiding the clasp towards the opposing ring. The second claim adds a feature in which a magnetic portion of the clasp and opposing ring allows the two rings to be guided towards each other and position them for connection. Since visual acuity is necessary, this magnetic guide is critical.

A necklace keeper or clasp for securing a jewelry item and for receiving one or more charms. The clasp includes a support member constructed of a support ring that extends less than a full circle so as to define a support ring gap, and a top head piece that extends upwardly from the support ring. A sliding lock pad engages with the top head piece and is normally biased to an extended position. A guide ring is providing having a channel for receiving a support ring and extending less than a full circle so as define a guide ring gap. The sliding lock pad has a lock position in which it engages the support ring to inhibit relative rotation between the support ring and the guide ring; and has a release position in which there is relative rotation between the support ring and the guide ring so that the respective supporting ring gap and guide ring gap each align.

The present invention relates to a small and handheld tool for opening small clasps and other closures. More specifically, the tool features an elongated handle, having a slider mechanism and a push button. The slider mechanism operates a slider or positioning arm and the spring-loaded push button operates a pair of clamps to hold the clasp in position. The slider arm and the pair of clamps extend from one end of the elongated handle. The pair of clamps secure the clasp between their rubber-tipped ends and the slider arm opens the clasp by moving a tab of the clasp radially along the surface of the clasp.

The jewelry system of the present invention is used for easily layering jewelry by connecting strands of similar types of jewelry, such as necklace strands, into a layered jewelry piece (e.g. multi-strand necklace), and which prevents tangling and provides a distinctive presentation of each layer. The present invention allows for variety in the combining and re-arranging of individual strands in any desired order, by the use of end couplers on the ends of each strand and one or more connector pairs disposed on one or more of strands. This allows for the creation of customized layered jewelry pieces that can be adjusted to suit a variety of styles. The design of the present invention allows for the use of singular strands to form into a layered jewelry piece that is distinctively presented in a symmetrical, cascading arrangement, which moves uniformly as one piece with the weight of gravity, virtually eliminating the risk of tangling. An additional purpose of this system is to have more versatility for the user's jewelry and increase the convenience of wearing fully constructed, customizable, layered jewelry pieces which can be put on and removed as one piece.

An exemplary jewelry spring ring clasp assembly includes a ring element and a setting element. The ring element extends circumferentially about a main axis to define a ring aperture therethrough. A static segment of the ring element has an inboard face and an outboard face disposed opposingly along the main axis. A door segment of the ring element is actuatable between closed and open positions. The setting element is in fixed engagement with the static segment, and is configured to retain an ornamental element in a fixed position along the main axis so that the ornamental element visually obscures the ring aperture and the ring element from a viewpoint defined outward of the outboard face. The visual obscurement may apply to at least a circumferentially-continuous portion of the ring element, and may be due in part to optical refraction through the ornamental element or optical opacity of the ornamental element.
