Benefits of technology

[0004] The present invention is a jewelry apparatus with a removable portion. The removable portion is attached to a receiving portion using magnets. By use of magnets, the removable portion can be easily attached and detached. The invention permits a person to swap between multiple removable portions onto a single receiving portion. By doing so, a person will be able to transform a smaller jewelry collection into a seemingly larger one.

Problems solved by technology

Jewelry is considered desirable but is often expensive.
Typically, jewelry cannot be recast or modified.
Importantly, the decorative portion of jewelry cannot be easily altered or substituted.
For example, a beaded necklace with a diamond pendant may be beautiful, but not be very versatile.
However, nothing in Hoffman discloses a removable jewelry portion or attaching a removable jewelry portion to a receiving jewelry portion with magnets.
