Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to jewelry storage. More particularly, it relates to concealment of jewelry while being storage.
- Jewelry consists of small decorative items worn for personal adornment, such as brooches, rings, necklaces, earrings, pendants, bracelets, and cufflinks. Jewelry may be attached to the body or the clothes. From a western perspective, the term is restricted to durable ornaments, excluding flowers for example. For many centuries metal, often combined with gemstones, has been the normal material for jewelry, but other materials such as shells and other plant materials may be used. It is one of the oldest types of archaeological artefact—with 100,000-year-old beads made from Nasserist shells thought to be the oldest known jewelry.
- The basic forms of jewelry vary between cultures but are often extremely long-lived; in European cultures the most common forms of jewelry listed above have persisted since ancient times, while other forms such as adornments for the nose or ankle, important in other cultures, are much less common.
- Jewelry may be made from a wide range of materials. Gemstones and similar materials such as amber and coral, precious metals, beads, and shells have been widely used, and enamel has often been important. In most cultures' jewelry can be understood as a status symbol, for its material properties, its patterns, or for meaningful symbols.
- Jewelry has been made to adorn nearly every part of the body, from hairpins to toe rings, and even genital jewelry. The patterns of wearing jewelry between the sexes, and by children and older people can vary greatly between cultures, but adult women have been the most consistent wearers of jewelry; in modern European culture the amount worn by adult males is relatively low compared with other cultures and other periods in European culture.
- A cabinet is a box-shaped piece of furniture with doors and/or drawers for storing miscellaneous items. Cabinets usually have one or more doors on the front, which are mounted with door hardware, and occasionally a lock. Cabinets may have one or more doors, drawers, and/or shelves. Short cabinets often have a finished surface on top that can be used for display or storage for items such as jewelry.
- There are obvious risks associated with keeping valuable jewelry, gem in your home, but you cannot simply keep everything you own in a storage locker or safe. After all, the whole point of owning a stunning pair of diamond earrings or is so you can enjoy it. If you simply lock your valuables away and keep them out of sight, you rob yourself of their enjoyment and make your life a little less fun. Often times, locks are easy prey for a thief once they know are can tell where jewelry is hidden.
- In light of the foregoing, it would be desirable to devise an improved a storage apparatus to store jewelry such that it is inconspicuous to thieves who are in search of jewelry items.

Thejewelry concealment apparatus 100 is useful for a diversion to thieves searching for jewelry to steal when invading a home, office, etc. Also, thejewelry concealment apparatus 100 is useful providing an enhancement to a room or other area. - The
jewelry concealment apparatus 100 is preferably ten (10) inches in height, however other heights are hereby contemplated, including, but not limited to, eight (8) inches, twelve (12) inches, etc. Thejewelry concealment apparatus 100 is preferably four (4) inches in width, however other widths are hereby contemplated, including, but not limited to, three (3) inches, five (5) inches, etc. - The
jewelry concealment apparatus 100 has avessel 200, aplatform 300 and afloral arrangement 400. - The
vessel 200 is preferably a vase, however other vessels are hereby contemplated, including, but not limited to, a tube, a planter, a box, etc. Thevessel 100 is preferably made of a porcelain material, however other materials are hereby contemplated, including, but not limited to, aluminum, plastic, paper-mache, copper, etc. - The
vessel 200 has a plurality ofsides top 205, abottom 206 and aninterior 207. Thebottom 206 of thevessel 200 is useful to set on a surface and provide stability to thevessel 200. Thebottom 206 of thevessel 200 is preferably flat but may have some undulations and or flexibility such that the vessel sets level on an uneven surface. - The
sides vessel 200 preferably have a decorative shape. Thesides vessel 200 are preferably decorated but may remain undecorated as desired. - The top 205 of the
vessel 200 is preferably open, such that access to theinterior 207 of thevessel 200. The top 205 of thevessel 200 has atop edge 208. The interior 207 of thevessel 200 of thevessel 200 is substantially void, but may have be less than a substantial portion void thereby attributing weight to thevessel 200 and adding stability. - The
platform 300 has atop 301, abottom 302 and a plurality ofcoupling devices 303. Theplatform 300 is preferably substantially the same size as the top 205 of thevessel 200. The top 301 of theplatform 300 is preferably substantially flat. Thebottom 302 of theplatform 300 is removably coupled to thetop edge 208 of thetop 205 of thevessel 200. - A
top end 305 of each of the plurality ofcoupling devices 303 of theplatform 300 are securely and and/or removably coupled to thebottom 302 of theplatform 300. Thecoupling devices 303 of theplatform 300 are preferably a hook shape, however other types of coupling devices are hereby contemplated, including, but not limited to, netting, bags, etc. Thecoupling devices 303 of theplatform 300 are useful to holdingitems 304. Theitems 304 are preferably jewelry, however other smaller types items are hereby contemplated, including but not limited to, wallet, watch, etc. - The
coupling devices 303 of theplatform 300 is preferably made of a plastic material, however other materials are hereby contemplated, including, but not limited to, metal such as steel, aluminum, titanium, poly-vinyl chloride (PVC), etc. Thecoupling device 303 may each be the same or may be a different type of coupling device as desired. One or more of the plurality ofcoupling devices 303 of theplatform 300 may have ahook shape 306. Thehook shape 306 of thecoupling device 303 of theplatform 300 are useful to hangitems 304 such that entanglement is limited and ease of adding or removing theitem 304 from thejewelry concealment apparatus 100 is efficient and easy. - The
floral arrangement 400 is preferably artificial, although real flowers as desired. Thefloral arrangement 400 has a top 401 and a bottom 402. The top 401 of thefloral arrangements 400 are a flower grouping. The flower grouping is preferably artificial, however the flowering grouping of the top 401 of thefloral arrangement 400 may be hereby real flowers as desired. - The
bottom 402 of thefloral arrangement 400 is removably coupled to the top 301 of theplatform 300. Thebottom 402 of thefloral arrangement 400 is preferably flat but may be substantially flat as desired. - Moving now to
FIG. 2 , an illustrated assembled view of the exemplaryjewelry concealment apparatus 100 shown inFIG. 1 is presented. - A user first places the
items 304 they wish to conceal in onto thecoupling devices 303 coupled to thebottom 302 of theplatform 300. Thebottom 302 of theplatform 300 is placed and coupled to the top 201 of thevessel 200, where theitems 303 are configured to be contained within theinterior 207 of thevessel 200. - One the
platform 300 has been coupled to the top 201 of thevessel 200 and theitems 303 are configured in theinterior 207 of thevessel 200, thebottom 402 of thefloral arrangement 400 is removably coupled to the top 301 of theplatform 300, thereby concealing theitems 304 inside of thevessel 200. - In the numbered clauses below, specific combinations of aspects and embodiments are articulated in a shorthand form such that (1) according to respective embodiments, for each instance in which a “component” or other such identifiers appear to be introduced (with “a” or “an,” e.g.) more than once in a given chain of clauses, such designations may either identify the same entity or distinct entities; and (2) what might be called “dependent” clauses below may or may not incorporate, in respective embodiments, the features of “independent” clauses to which they refer or other features described above.
