- Jewelry articles are small decorative items used for adorning the body. Jewelry items come in many different forms, such as pendants, necklaces, earrings or bracelets. They are often made of metal and gemstones and may be worn on the body, attached to an article of clothing, or attached to personal items.
- Pendants are one of the earliest types of jewelry articles. Primeval man used to insert a string made of grass or vine into a small hole within a rock, a shell, or any other indigenous material to wear as a necklace. Modern pendants consist of jewelry articles hanging from a necklace, bracelet, or clothing. Pendants serve several functions, such as to display awards, identification, ornamentation or self-affirmation. Pendants come in different shapes, colors, and sizes.
- One aspect of the disclosure provides a jewelry article that includes a body, clasps, and a ring. The body has first and second ends, and the ring is disposed on the first end of the body. The clasps are disposed on the body between the first and second ends.
- Implementations of the disclosure may include one or more of the following features. In some implementations, the body of the jewelry article defines a track that extends from the first end to the second end of the body. The track slidably receives the clasps and allows the clasps to slide along the track between the first and second ends of the body.
- In some implementations, the jewelry article further includes a retainer that is disposed on the track and is configured to prevent the clasps from sliding off the track. Additionally or alternatively, each clasp of the jewelry article may include a clasp body and a fastener. The clasp body has a first and second end. The first end defines a complementary shape of a cross-sectional shape of the track for receipt by the track. The fastener is disposed on the second end of the clasp body.
- In some implementations, the first end of the clasp body swivels with respect to the second end of the clasp body. The ring may be configured to receive a pendant having a core diameter of less than 4.5 millimeters.
- The jewelry article may include a ring connector disposed on the first end of the body. The ring connector allows for a releasable connection of the ring to the body and has an unlocked and a locked state. When the ring connector is in the unlocked state, it receives the ring for connection to the body. When the ring connector is in the locked state, it retains the ring while allowing movement of the ring with respect to the body (e.g., a swivel movement, a back-and-forth movement, or a combination of both). Additionally or alternatively, the ring connector may receive one or more pendants while unconnected to the body. In some implementations, the ring is a non-circular ring. Additionally or alternatively, the ring may be a rigid ring or a malleable ring.
- In some examples, the body of the jewelry article includes at least one of an elongated body, a rectangular body, an elliptical body, or a square body. The jewelry article may further include a body connector disposed on the second end of the body. The body connector releasably attaches to an object. In some examples, the clasp is fixed on the body.
- Another aspect of the disclosure provides a method of using a jewelry article. The method includes releasing a ring disposed on a first end of a body of the jewelry article and receiving one or more pendants along the ring. The method also includes connecting the ring to the first end of the body of the jewelry article. The connected ring prevents escapement of one or more pendants from the ring. The method also includes actuating a clasp from a closed state to an open state. The clasp is disposed on the body between the first and second ends of the body. The method further includes placing a pendant on the clasp while the clasp is in its open state, allowing the clasp to return to its closed state, and attaching a body connector disposed on the body of the jewelry article to an object.
- In some implementations, the method includes sliding the clasp along a track defined by the body. The track extends from the first end to the second end of the body. The track is configured to slidably receive clasps, allowing the clasps to slide along the track between the first and second ends of the body.
- In some examples, the method further includes actuating a retainer disposed on the track to move from a locked state to an unlocked state. The retainer prevents clasps from sliding off the track while in its locked state and allows the addition of clasps to the track while in its unlocked state. The method further includes placing the clasp on the track. The first end of the body defines a complementary shape of a cross-sectional shape of the track for receipt by the track.
- The method may include moving a ring connector disposed on the first end of the jewelry article body from a locked state, which retains the ring connected to the body to an unlocked state, and allowing disconnection of the ring from the body.

FIG. 8 is a schematic view of an exemplary arrangement of operations for using a jewelry article. - Like reference symbols in the various drawings indicate like elements.
- Jewelry items, such as brooches and buckles, were initially used as purely functional items. These items have evolved to include a decorative aspect while still holding garments together in the case of a brooch, or fastening two loose ends in the case of a buckle. Jewelry articles may also be symbolic of a wearer's group membership, (e.g., Christian crucifix, Jewish Star of David), interests and hobbies (e.g., a purse pendant or a shopping cart pendant symbolizing the wearer's interest in shopping, or a tennis racket that indicates the wearer's interest in tennis), or charities among other things. Therefore, in some examples, a jewelry article gives a person a glimpse of a wearer's life. A wearer may have several pendants that he/she may want to display at the same time. Placing all those pendants on a wearer's necklace may be distracting or noisy when a wearer moves because the pendants may move as well. Therefore, a
jewelry article 100 that allows a wearer to display all his/her pendants and place thejewelry article 100 on a bag or ahandbag 200 fulfills a need for the wearer to portray a particular persona. Moreover, thejewelry article 100 allows a wearer to customize thejewelry article 100 with different pendants, or use thesame jewelry article 100 on different handbags giving each handbag a unique personalized look with the personalized jewelry items. - Referring to
FIGS. 1-6 , in some implementations, ajewelry article 100 includes abody 110, aring 120, and clasps 130. Thebody 110 may be one of an elongated body (FIGS. 1-3 and 5-7B), a rectangular body (FIGS. 1 , 2, and 5-7B), an elliptical body (FIG. 3 ), a square body (FIG. 4 ), or a circular body (not shown). Other shapes are possible as well. Thebody 110 may be made from different materials including, but not limited to, metal (e.g., stainless steel, brass, copper, nickel, or precious metals (e.g., gold, silver, platinum)), glass (e.g., fused-glass or enamel), wood, or plastic. In some examples, thebody 110 includesengravings 112 by carving a design on thebody 110. Theengravings 112 may be a design, a drawing, a word, or a phrase. Different engraving techniques may be used to accommodate the different materials being used for thebody 110. Thebody 110 includes afirst end 114 and asecond end 116. - In some implementations, the
ring 120 is disposed on thefirst end 114 of thebody 110. Thering 120 may be any of the materials listed above with respect to thebody 110. Thering 120 may be a malleable ring or a bendable ring (e.g., a chain, a link ring made from connecting or linking various similar components). In other examples, thering 120 is a rigid or hard ring. Thering 120 is configured to receive a pendant orcharm 122. Thependant 122 may be a dangling pendant 122 a or aseparation pendant 122 b for separating two other pendants 122 (e.g., dangling pendant 122 a). In some examples, thependant 122 is a dangling separation pendant 122 c, being a separation pendant 122 a with adangling pendant 122 b attached thereon. Thering 120 may be a circular ring or a non-circular ring. In the examples shown, thering 120 has a core diameter D configured to receive thependants 122. The core diameter D may be less than 4.5 millimeters to accommodatedifferent pendants 122. In some examples, the core diameter is between 2 mm and about 10 mm and a ring diameter RD is between about 2 cm and about 10 cm. The core diameter D and/or the ring diameter RD may have different sizes. Moreover, thering 120 may fit more than onependant 122. In some examples, thering 120 is sized to receivekeys 126, as shown inFIG. 5 . A wearer may detach thering 120 from thebody 110 and insert thependants 122 individually. The wearer may create a design with thependants 122. In some examples, the wearer addspendants 122 to create a word or phrase (e.g., eachpendant 122 may be a letter pendant 122). - A
ring connector 124 may be disposed on thefirst end 114 of thebody 110 to allow releasable connection of thering 120 to thebody 110. Thering connector 124 has an unlocked state and a locked state. In the unlocked state (FIG. 1F ), thering connector 124 receives thering 120 for connecting to thebody 110; while in the locked state (FIG. 1A-1E ), thering connector 124 retains thering 120 while allowing movement of thering 120 with respect to thebody 110. In some examples, the movement may be a swivel movement within 360 degrees. Moreover, in the unlocked state, thering 120 can receive at least onependant 122. - One or
more clasps 130 may be disposed on thebody 110 between thefirst end 114 and thesecond end 116. Theclasps 130 are configured to receive a dangling pendant 122 a or aseparation pendant 122 b.

A retainer 144 may be disposed on thetrack 140 to prevent theclasps 130 from sliding off thetrack 140. In some examples, the first retainer 144 a is disposed on a first end of thetrack 140 a and a second retainer 144 b is disposed on a second end of thetrack 140. A wearer may releasably detach the retainer 144 to add or removeclasps 130. - Referring to
FIG. 6C , theclasp 130 may include aclasp body 133 having afirst end 134 that defines a complementary shape of a cross-sectional shape of thetrack 140. Afastener 138 may be disposed on thesecond end 136 of theclasp body 133. Thefastener 138 is configured to receive apendant 122. Thefastener 138 may swivel about the first and second ends 134, 136 of theclasp body 133 allowing for the swiveling of the attachedpendant 122. Thefirst end 134 of theclasp body 133 may swivel with respect to thesecond end 136 of theclasp body 133. - Referring back to
FIGS. 6A-6C , in some implementations, thebody 110 has afirst end 114 and asecond end 116, a first side S1, a second side S2, a third side S3, and a fourth side S4. Thebody 110 defines a height H that extends from thefirst end 114 to thesecond end 116. The body also defines a length L that extends from the first side S1 to the second side S2 of thebody 110, and a width W that extends from the third side S3 to the fourth side S4 of thebody 110. A first group of clasps 132 a is disposed on the first side S1 of the body, and the second group of clasps 132 b is disposed on the second side S2 of the body 110 (seeFIG. 1 for a front view). In some examples, the height H is at least double the length L and at least triple the width W, and the length L is greater than the width W. In other examples, the length L is substantially equal to the width W, and the height H is at least double the sum of the length L and the height H. In yet another example, the height H is substantially equal to the length L which is also substantially equal to the width W, therefore, forming abody 110 having a cube shape. The clasps 132 may be positioned on any one or all of the first, second, third, and fourth sides S1-S4. In some implementations, thebody 110 includes more than four sides; therefore, thebody 110 provides more space to place the clasps 132 and thependants 122 attached thereon. - In some examples, the
jewelry article 100 may be attached to an object 200 (as shown inFIGS. 7A and 7B ). Theobject 200 may include, but is not limited to handbags, backpacks, shoulder bags, purses, and clutches, which have long been used to carry personal goods (e.g., makeup, snacks, handkerchief, eyeglasses, money, keys, tablets, portable computers). Along with serving a functional purpose, these bags may serve as fashion accessories. Fashion accessories serve to contribute to a wearer's outfit. Many people choose to adorn their personal bags or clothing with pendants to further compliment their clothing. - A
body connector 150 may be disposed on thesecond end 116 of thebody 110. Thebody connector 150 may releasably attach to anobject 200. Thebody connector 150 may be malleable or a bendable connector (e.g., a chain, a link ring made from connecting or linking various similar components), or may be a rigid, hard connector. -
