A jewelry apparatus. The jewelry apparatus may be adapted to serve as practically any type of jewelry, but is best suited for use as a pendant or a broach. A shaft portion may be removably attached to a base piece by means of a slotted locking member. The shaft piece is used to carry ornamental elements, such as decorative beads or precious or semi-precious stones. The ornamental elements may be permanently affixed to the shaft, or most desirably may be slipped onto the shaft so as to be interchangeable. Accordingly, the invention permits a user to change the ornamental elements by removing the shaft from the base piece and selectively interchanging the ornamental elements and then replacing the shaft upon the base piece. Alternatively, the entire shaft with ornamental elements thereon may be selectively replaced. In either case, a single base piece is used, allowing the user to change the overall appearance of the jewelry apparatus to customize it to occasion or apparel, two security features are provided to assure that the shaft cannot accidentally be removed from the base piece to result in the loss of the ornamental elements.

A fabricating method of earphone is provided. A housing is provided first in this method. The housing has a holding space, an entrance-end and a corresponding output-end. The housing has a stopping-portion in the output-end. Then, a micro speaker is disposed into the holding space from the entrance-end of the housing and against the stopping-portion. Afterward, a cap is assembled to the entrance-end of the housing such that the micro speaker is fixed in the holding space by the cap and the stopping-portion. The assembling time can be shortened with this fabricating method of earphone.

The present invention is directed to a clip for attaching an ornamental item to an article. The clip includes a base having an ornamental surface and an attachment device secured to said base for movement between a first position and a second position relative to said base to open and close the clip to engage a portion of an article therebetween. A plurality of projections are secured to said base, wherein each projection projects toward said attachment device to engage a portion of the article therebetween. At least one of the projections has a layer of relatively soft, elastomeric friction engaging material to enhance the grasping capabilities of the clip, without damaging the article.

A jewelry apparatus with living ornamental materials. The jewelry apparatus (e.g., inserted into rings, necklaces, lockets, bracelets, etc. or integral thereto) with living ornamental materials includes a base component with a receptacle in which a living material substrate is placed and a cover restraining component through which the living ornament materials grow. The cover restraining portion is to the bottom portion and also prevents the living material substrate and living materials from falling out of the base component. The living material substrate includes seeds for various types of plants and trees and nutrients to allow the seeds to grow. As the seeds germinate and grow, they grow upwards out of the base component and provide jewelry with living, growing, renewable ornamental materials.

A decorative ornament has a disc shaped plate member which is configured to fit into the top slit pocket opening of a “penny loafer” type shoe or an accessory with a similar opening. An extendable clasp is secured to the plate member. One or more decorative charms, each having a ring shaped section, are positioned around the crosspiece and extension member of the clasp. The decorative section of the charm hangs down from the clasp and extends over the upper surface of the shoe or accessory.

A ring has a sphere on a band and is worn on the finger of a sports fan. An electrical circuit includes a power source and two LEDs. An antenna allows the ring circuit to receive signals sent wirelessly. A three position switch changes the settings of the circuit. When the switch is in a middle position, the ring is disconnected from its power source. When the switch is in one or the other of the other two positions, the wireless receiver components can receive signals from a transmitting unit. The ring is preferably worn by a sports fan at a sporting event, and upon switching the switch to the position associated with the team the fan supports, the ring can receive signals. Signals will be transmitted from the transmitting unit, and will cause the ring to flash the LED. Rings worn by fans flash in support of the fans' team.

A kit having a ring sizer and ring joiner. The kit has a plurality of circular bands that fit into and engage with a plurality of adjacent rings, such as a wedding ring and an engagement ring, to secure the plurality rings together. In addition, the bands are made in different thickness so the bands can also be used to adjust the size of the rings.
