2. Description of the Related Art For example, a pendant usually has only one jewel. If a plurality of jewelry are to be attached, it takes time and effort to attach the jewelry.
That is, the purchaser cannot select and purchase a plurality of jewelry at a store and immediately receive a pendant attached with the jewelry.

In some cases, a metal plate on which characters such as the owner's name and slogan are written is attached to a portable item such as a bag. Although this metal plate is attached to a fastener knob or the like, it also serves as a decoration for portable goods, and therefore, in many cases, the notation of letters is made by engraving to improve the appearance. However, since the engraving requires special tools or equipment, such engraving plates can only be purchased at specialty stores. In addition, engraving requires time and effort, and the purchaser must wait for the time.
