Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a body piercing jewelry system that allows for easy changing of the decorative element without having to remove the stem of the jewelry from the piercing. The jewelry system comprises an anchoring element and a decorative element that can be easily mated together. The anchoring element can be a flat plate or a curved threaded connector, while the decorative element can be a jewel or other ornament attached to a curved threaded connector or a hollow curved stem. The anchoring element and decorative element can be connected using a threaded post or magnetic interaction. The technical effects of the invention include flexibility, ease of use, and the ability to change decor without having to remove the stem of the jewelry."

Problems solved by technology

The navel presents particular challenges for the design of jewelry.
Not only is the navel more difficult for a wearer to access, but the skin in the navel differs from that of an ear lobe.
While this type of design has been used for some time, there are several disadvantages associated with it.
For example, it is not easy to change the decorative feature at one end and typically the balls at each end of the device are the same.
However, none of these prior art devices address the need for flexibility and ease of changing jewelry pieces designed for insertion into a navel piercing.

Embodiment Construction

[0023] The present invention provides a body piercing jewelry attachment system. The jewelry system of the present invention is particularly useful for use with navel piercings, but it can also be used with other piercings, such as eyebrow, tongue or lip piercings.

The anchoring element has a stop member which is typically a flat plate. The anchoring element is designed so that the stop plate is usually hidden behind skin and only the decorative element is visible when the jewelry is in place. The decorative element includes a jewel or other type of ornamentation. Because the anchoring element remains in the piercing, the decorative element can be easily changed without encountering the problems associated with changing previous types of navel piercing jewelry. The shaft or connector prevents the piercing from ...
