Ring 1 is half Radially oriented portion 3a and subsequent circumferential direction of ring 1 Includes a notch 3 with a portion 3b.   In the inner part of the ring 1, at the site 1b of the cut 3b, the upper part of the cut 3b In such a way that its free end provided with ribs 4a is located at the end 1b of the face , Screws 5, or any other means, the leaf spring 4 is fixed. Decoration required Element 2 is as shown in FIG. Dimensions and dimensions that allow it to align with the ring when placed on it And has a hollow portion 2a having a rectangular shape. The decorative element 2 has two opposite slots of the decorative element 2. Shaft 2b having an end fixed on the wall. Shaft in notch 3 2b and first pressing the element radially and then circumferentially into the cut 3 When the element 2 is placed on the ring, the shaft 2 b a can be pressed, thus locking the element 2 on the ring 1.   If you want to remove decorative element 2 and replace it with another decorative element, That is, the shaft is unlocked by moving through the rib 4a of the spring 4 It is sufficient to push the element in the circumferential direction to do so and then pull it back radially. You.   This device has some features while at the same time ensuring a good lock between the two parts. It is very easy to replace the decorative element 2 without having to exert any additional force.   Such devices are, of course, bracelets or annular earrings, It can also be used on jewelry with ribs and annular segments.   For larger items such as bracelets, use the same method each time.
