The base member is an ornament having areceiving chamber 11 provided in atop portion 101 thereof. The wearable jewelry can be a finger ring, a bracelet, a pendant of necklace, a brooch, or the like that further comprises a wearingmember 40 coupled with thebase member 11 configured to be worn on a wearer’s body or clothing. When the wearable jewelry is a finger ring or a bracelet, the wearingmember 40 is a ring element that is sized and shaped to be worn on a finger or a wrist of the wearer and integrally connected with thebase member 11 or detachable coupled with thebase member 11 or an elongated element coupled with thebase member 11 for fastening to the wearer’s body or clothing or a carrying item of the wearer. When the wearable jewelry is a pendant of necklace, the wearingmember 40 is a necklace configured to be worn on the wearer’s body or clothing. When the wearable jewelry is a brooch, thebase member 11 can be an ornament badge and thewearable member 40 can be a hinged pin or catch configured to be fastened to a carrying item or clothing of wearer. - According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the
base member 10 has a size not more than 5 cm and thereceiving chamber 11 of thebase member 10 is embodied as a circular hole having a predetermined depth indented in a top surface of thetop portion 101 of thebase member 10. Thebase member 10 comprises a wearingarrangement 12 which is embodied as a throughhole 12 transversely penetrated therethrough for the wearingmember 40 to pass through to couple with thebase member 10. - The
precious ornament element 20 made of precious material such as gold, silver, platinum, precious stone, or metal set with precious stone such as diamond, gemstone, cameo, and etc.. Theornament element 20 has a mountingarrangement 21 provided underneath, wherein the mountingarrangement 21 has a rotation axis RA. According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring toFIGS. 5 and 5A , the mountingarrangement 21 is embodied as acircular mounting slot 21 indented in a bottom surface of theornament element 20. As shown inFIG. 5A , a distinctive subject matter of the wearable jewelry is that theornament element 20 is preferred to have its axis of center of gravity GA provided eccentrically with its rotation axis RA. In other words, the mountingarrangement 21 is eccentrically provided with respect to the mass and shape of theornament element 20. - Referring to
