DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0024] In the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and within which are shown by way of illustration specific embodiments by which the invention may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.

[0025] In a general embodiment the novel removable jewelry stability apparatus is a length of material including, but not limited to, foam, plastic, rubber, or any pliable material capable of conforming to a surface of a piece of jewelry and conforming to a user. The length of material is connected to the rear surface of a piece of jewelry which would otherwise be contacting a user's skin. To keep the length of material positioned in place during use, a layer of adhesive is connected to the length of material. The adhesive layer is then connected to the rear surface of the piece of jewelry. The length of material is removable from the piece of jewelry and can be peeled off of the piece of jewelry by a user when desired. The length of material can be coated with a layer of metal to conceal the length of material so it looks like the jewelry it is connected to. The length of material can alternatively be pigmented during the manufacture of the length of material to be any desired color. The length of material may be precut to a predetermined size or shape during manufacturing. The length of material may alternatively be configured to be cut by a user to a desired size and shape.

[0026] In an alternate embodiment, the novel removable jewelry stability apparatus can have a plurality of slits or perforations to increase air circulation between a user's skin and the jewelry being worn.

[0027] In a second alternate embodiment, the novel removable jewelry stability apparatus can have a plurality of protruding structures to increase air circulation between a user's skin and the jewelry being worn. The protruding structures have a first end connected to the length of material located opposite a second end configured to contact a user's skin. The protruding structures suspend the length of material up from a user's skin to increase air flow between a user's skin and the length of material.

[0028] In a third alternate embodiment, the novel removable jewelry stability apparatus can have a layer of moisturizer configured to contact a user's skin when being worn by a user. The layer of moisturizer may be scented with oil or perfume.

Construction of the Novel Jewelry Stability Apparatus

[0029] It will now be seen, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the novel removable jewelry stability apparatus 1 is connected to jewelry 2 being a cuff bracelet. Jewelry 2 has outer wall surface 3 located opposite inner wall surface 4. Jewelry stability apparatus 1 has length of material 6. Length of material 6 has primary surface 7 located opposite secondary surface 8. Primary surface 7 of length of material 6 has adhesive layer 9 connected thereto. Adhesive layer 9 is configured to connect to 10 (FIG. 2) inner wall surface 4 of jewelry 2. FIG. 1 illustrates adhesive layer 9 connected to inner wall surface 4 of jewelry 2.

[0030] FIGS. 1-2 depict secondary surface 8 of length of material 6 having moisturizer layer 11 connected thereto. Moisturizing layer 11 overlays the skin of a user 5 (FIG. 1) and is in contact with the skin of a user 5 (FIG. 1) when removable jewelry stability apparatus 1 is connected to jewelry 2 during use.

[0031] FIGS. 3-4 illustrate an alternate embodiment of novel removable jewelry stability apparatus 1 having a plurality of slits 12A, 12B, and 12C. FIG. 3 shows length of material 6 having primary surface 7 located opposite secondary surface 8. Primary surface 7 of length of material 6 has adhesive layer 9 (FIGS. 3-4) connected thereto. Plurality of slits 12A-12C extends the length of material 6 as well as through adhesive layer 9. Adhesive layer 9 is configured to connect to inner wall surface 4 of jewelry 2. Secondary surface 8 of length of material 6 is configured to contact a user 5 (FIG. 1) when removable jewelry stability apparatus 1 is connected to jewelry 2 (FIG. 1) during use. It is within the scope of this invention for secondary surface 8 of length of material 6 in any embodiment to have moisturizer layer 11 connected thereto. It is also within the scope of this invention for plurality of slits 12A-12C to extend through the moisturizer layer 11 (not shown).

[0032] FIG. 5 illustrates jewelry stability apparatus 1 having length of material 6. Length of material 6 has primary surface 7 located opposite secondary surface 8. Primary surface 7 of length of material 6 has adhesive layer 9 connected thereto. Adhesive layer 9 is configured to connect to 10 (FIG. 2) inner wall surface 4 (FIG. 1) of jewelry 2. Protruding structures 14A-14C each have a first end 15A-15C located opposite a second end 16A-16C. First end 15A-15C of protruding structures 14A-14C is connected to secondary surface 8 of length of material 6. Second end 16A-16C of protruding structures 14A-14C is configured to contact a user's skin. Secondary surface 8 of length of material 6 can have a layer of scented gel 17 connected thereto. It is within the scope of this invention for a scented oil or perfume to be infused within the length of material in whole or in part. Protruding structures 14A-14C extend through moisturizer layer 11 (not shown) or through scented gel layer 17 (FIG. 5).

[0033] Removable jewelry stability apparatus 1 has a plurality of protruding structures 14A-14C extending from second surface 8 of length of material 6. At least one protruding structure 14A-14C is a slip resistant material. At least one protruding structure 14A-14C is configured to contact a user when being worn by a user. The protruding structures 14A-14C suspend the layer of scented gel 17 above a user's skin so that the layer of scented gel 17 does not contact a user's skin, to minimize skin irritation, to maximize air circulation, and to help dispense the scent or aroma of the layer of scented gel 17. It is within the scope of this invention for secondary surface 8 of length of material 6 in any embodiment to have scented gel layer 17 connected thereto. It is also within the scope of this invention for any embodiment of removable jewelry stability apparatus 1 to have at least one protruding structure 14.

[0034] FIGS. 6-7 show an alternate embodiment of removable jewelry stability apparatus 1 having a plurality of perforations 13A, 13B, 13C, and 13D. Referring now to FIG. 6, length of material 6 has primary surface 7 located opposite secondary surface 8. Primary surface 7 of length of material 6 has adhesive layer 9 (FIGS. 6-7) connected thereto. Plurality of perforations 13A, 13B, 13C, and 13D extends the length of material 6 as well as through adhesive layer 9 (FIGS. 6-7). Adhesive layer 9 is configured to connect to inner wall surface 4 (FIGS. 1-2) of jewelry 2 (FIGS. 1-2). Secondary surface 8 of length of material 6 is configured to contact a user 5 (FIG. 1) when removable jewelry stability apparatus 1 is connected to jewelry 2 (FIG. 1) during use. It is within the scope of this invention for secondary surface 8 of length of material 6 in this or any embodiment to have moisturizer layer 11, scented gel layer 17, protruding structure 14, or a combination of the aforementioned connected thereto.
