Description

 The present invention relates to a jewel formed by four sliding rings and a stable element surmounted by four pearls, the whole forming a horoscope ring - good luck giving indications by sign. Such a piece of jewelry can be produced in the form of a ring. a bracelet, a scarf ring, a brooch or other similar piece of jewelry.

 In the case of a piece of jewelry such as a ring, bracelet, scarf ring, brooch or similar piece of jewelry. these parts, when they are personalized. are for one person. That is to say that the jewel carries a personalized inscription corresponding to the person owning the jewel, and to him alone. Each copy of the jewel created is different from another from the same collection. only by this inscription carried, if necessary. after acquisition of it (engraving of name, date ...).

 There is therefore a need for the production of pieces of jewelry capable of specific personalization while starting from the same piece of jewelry and without any additional contribution or engraving.

The object of the present invention is to produce a jewel with variable appearance while keeping the same base,
According to the invention, this object is achieved with a jewel composed of four sliding rings, allowing a change in overall appearance thereof. According to the invention, the jewel comprises two elements. The first element being represented by the four sliding rings and the second being represented by a square support surmounted by four cultured pearls, two black and two white, arranged in staggered rows.

The four rings are falsely independent and are actually cut in the same room. It is a visual effect that offers this aspect of free rings,
The rings of different thicknesses - for the sake of aesthetics - are then read vertically, that is to say that they are subdivided into twelve compartments representing the twelve signs of the zodiac. We read the sign that appears to the left of the pearls; below it, we can see the dominant planet, under it, we discover the lucky number by sign and under this figure, we can read the favorable day of the sign.

 The jewel is then presented as follows: the rings slide to display the desired zodiac sign, prominently next to the cultured pearls fixed on a small square support. Support which, in addition to its use as a pearl support, serves to stop the rings when they are in the desired position. by a small round rim located under it. The rings are slightly curved over the entire diameter and therefore have twelve concavities, one per sign. which allows an easy pivot of these and constitute the abutment piece coming to collide with the edge of the support to allow a safe stop of the rings and correctly display the desired sign.

 This type of jewelry has a definite advantage over classic jewelry. The present invention makes it possible, thanks to the simultaneous display of the twelve signs of the zodiac, to produce a piece of jewelry with variable appearance according to the sign of the people who are going to wear it. This same piece of jewelry can suit everyone. just display the desired sign.
