[Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention]

Below the embodiment of the personal ornament of this invention will be explained as follows.

Fig. 1 is a front view of the pendant 1 of the embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a rear view of the pendant 1. Fig.3 is an enlarged view of the neighborhood of rotational stick 24a shown in Fig.2.
As shown in Fig.1, the pendant 1 has a structure in which the jewelry unit 5, 6 and 7 are arranged in series to be supported to a flame unit 10 in a state that the jewelry unit 5, 6 and 7 can swing.
The flame unit 10 has a shape having slim opening 10a inside.
One pair of reentrant unit 26a and 26b is formed at the positions of inside surfaces of right and left to which the opening 10a is formed to face each other.
Further, the reentrant unit 27a, 27b and the reentrant unit 28a and 28b are formed in equal distance of up and down direction at downward of the reentrant unit 26a and 26b of the inside surfaces.
In the present embodiment, the reentrant unit 26a, 26b, 27a, 27b, 28a and 28b are reentrants of the section circle.
The jewelry unit 5 has the supporting unit 14 supporting jewelry 12 such as diamonds. The supporting unit 14 holds the jewelry 12 by nail 20a, 20b, 20c and 20d. The jewelry 12 is an example of the main body of the ornament of the present invention, and the supporting unit 14 is the support member of the present invention.
The rotational stick 24a and 24b which stuck out in the right and left direction are fixed to the support member 14.
When the supporting unit 14 is supported away from the 10 by a predetermined distance in the opening 10a of the flame unit 10, the rotational stick 24a and 24b are inserted in the rotatable state into the reentrant unit 26a and 26b described above.
The cross section of the rotational stick 24a and 24b are circular.
The rotational stick 24a and 24b support the supporting unit 14 at an upward position for a center of gravity of the supporting unit 14.
For example, the rotational stick 24a and 24b support the supporting unit 14 in the vicinity of a center of a center of gravity of the supporting unit 14 and the upper part end in up and down direction.
When considering a swing property, in case it assumes "h" as a distance in up and down direction, the position of the rotational stick 24a and 24b is desirable to be a range of "3/4h" in up and down direction using a center position between a center of gravity of the supporting unit 14 and the upper part end as a center.
When the rotational stick 24a and 24b rotate in the reentrant unit 26a and 26b in the state that user wears the pendant 1, it is possible to avoid that the jewelry unit 5 holding the supporting unit 14 make half turn rotate, because the center of gravity of the supporting unit 14 is below from the position of the rotational stick 24a and 24b.
Thereby it is possible to keep the attitude in which the table surface of the jewelry unit 5 supported by the supporting unit 14 faces to the front (outside). Therefore it is possible to avoid that the table surface faces inside to improve design characteristics.
In addition, the rotational stick 24a and 24b may be molded integrally with the supporting unit 14.
Although the case in which the jewelry unit 5, 6 and 7 are set positioned at the different position of the up and down direction is explained in the embodiment described above, the jewelry unit 5, 6 and 7 may be set at the different position of the horizontal direction.

In the embodiment described above, as shown in Fig.3, the case in which the reentrant of the section circle is used as the reentrant unit 26a, 26b, 27a, 27b, 28a and 28b formed to the flame unit 10.
In the present embodiment, the case in which a under surface of the reentrant is declined to the side of the supporting unit 14 as the reentrant formed to the flame unit 10.
Fig. 4 is a figure to explain a pendant relating to the second embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in Fig.4, the under surface 126a1 of the reentrant unit 126a formed to the flame unit 10 is declined to the side of the supporting unit 14.
Therefore the rotational stick 24a and the under surface 126a1 of the reentrant unit 126a of the flame unit 10 are jointed at a point.
Thereby the frictional force between the rotational stick 24a and the under surface 126a1 made lower, and it is easy to make the supporting unit 14 swing.

Fig.5 is a figure to explain a pendant of the third embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in Fig.5, the pendant of the third embodiment of the present invention has a structure in which the jewelry unit 5 (a diamond) is supported in the state that it is possible to swing into the flame unit 110 which is ring shape.
That is, one pair of the reentrant unit 226a and 226b are formed at the position facing mutually of the internal perimeter surface of the flame unit 110.
And the rotational stick 124a and 124b of the supporting unit 114 of the jewelry unit 5 is inserted into the reentrant unit 226a and 226b in the state that it is possible to swing.
In the present embodiment, the same effect with the first embodiment is provided.
In addition, in the present embodiment, it is possible to form the under surface of the reentrant unit 226a and 226b declined as described in the second embodiment.

Fig.6 is a figure to explain a pendant relating to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in Fig.6, the pendant relating to the fourth embodiment of the present invention has a constitution which supports the jewelry unit 5 in the flame unit 210 of the heart shape having an opening in the state that it is possible to swing on an axis rotational stick 224a and 224b.
