Abstract
A method and system for providing a configurable jewelry closure is disclosed. The configurable jewelry closure comprises a series of common jewelry fasteners on links. The fasteners are easily opened and designed for continual opening, by the wearer. These easy opening fasteners provide the wearer the ability to attach jewelry strands of varying color, number and length to provide the wearer with a customizable piece of jewelry. These jewelry closures can be removed from the jewelry strand by the wearer over and over again rendering it still usable and customizable by the wearer.
Description
- This application is claiming under 35 USC 119(e) the benefit of provisional patent Application serial no. 60/250,329 filed on Nov. 29, 2000.
- The present invention relates to configurable jewelry closures, and more particularly to such closures used for necklaces, bracelets, anklets, belts, hatbands, belly chains and the like.
- Conventional jewelry design commonly provides consumers with conventional closures that are fixed to one or more jewelry strands. For example, one conventional closure includes a simple clasp, such as a lobster clasp, that is fixed to one end of the jewelry strand and that attaches to a link at the opposite end of the jewelry strand. A loop made with the jewelry strands is closed using the conventional closure, allowing the user to wear the necklace, bracelet or other item made with the jewelry strands and conventional closure. The conventional closure is typically designed merely to allow one end of the strand to be attached to the other end of the strand. However, some conventional closures also allow for variations in the length of the strands. For example, some conventional closures are designed to be attached to any part of a portion of the strands.
- Although conventional closures allow jewelry strands to be formed into a loop, one of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that conventional closures are not intended to be repeatedly or continuously removed from the jewelry strand by the wearer. In addition, although some of the conventional closures allow for variations in the length of the jewelry strands along the conventional closure, the jewelry strands coupled to the conventional closure are not interchangeable at the will of the wearer. Furthermore, although some conventional jewelry closures are easily removed, they are not intended for repeated, continuous removal by the wearer. As a result, conventional designs of jewelry closures not intended for repeated removal from the jewelry strand by the wearer suffer from a number of disadvantages. First, removal of permanently fixed conventional closures from the jewelry strand by the wearer often renders the jewelry unusable, broken and uncustomizable by the wearer. In addition, continuous removal of conventional closures not intended for repeated removal from the jewelry strand by the wearer often renders the jewelry unusable, broken and uncustomizable by the wearer. The conventional closures also result in an inability of the wearer to customize the look of the jewelry with respect to the desired fashion effect of matching color to the clothes being worn. In addition, the conventional closures result in an inability of the wearer to customize the look of the jewelry with respect to the desired fashion effect of varying the number of jewelry strands worn together. Moreover, the conventional closures result in an inability of the wearer to customize the look of the jewelry with respect to the desired fashion effect of varying the length of the jewelry strands worn together.
- Accordingly, what is needed is a system and method for a more flexible, customizable method and system for providing jewelry. The present invention addresses such a need.
- The present invention provides a closure and method for customizing jewelry. The method and system include providing a plurality of clasp. A first clasp and a second clasp of the plurality of are for attaching to at least one strand. The first clasp attaches to a first side of the at least one strand, while the second clasp attaches to a second side of the strand. The first clasp and second clasp are reusable. The first clasp and the second clasp allow for interchangeability of the at least one strand. In one embodiment, the method and system also includes at least a third clasp of the plurality of clasps and a plurality of links. The plurality of links is coupled with the first clasp. The third clasp is coupled with the second clasp. The third clasp and the plurality of links allow for a length of the jewelry to be customized. Preferably, each of the plurality of clasps is simple to use and effective.
- According to the system and method disclosed herein, the present invention provides a simple, effective mechanism for customizing the color, length, and type of jewelry strands and look of the jewelry without causing undue wear of the jewelry.
