Embodiment Construction

[0031]FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment of an interchangeable magnetic jewelry fastener 20 in accordance with principles of the disclosure discussed herein. The jewelry fastener 20 resolves several of the shortcomings of other jewelry fasteners. For example, the jewelry fastener 20 provides an interchangeable link for coupling two ends of jewelry. The jewelry fastener 20 can easily be connected to both ends of a piece of jewelry in order to provide a fastener while using the jewelry. The same fastener 20 can later be disconnected from the first jewelry piece and connected to a second jewelry piece in order to couple two ends of the second jewelry piece together. Additionally, the jewelry fastener 20 provides a secure attachment of the two ends of the jewelry and alleviates concern by the wearer of lost or damaged jewelry due to an insecure fastener. The jewelry fastener 20 is simple to use when attaching the fastener 20 to the two ends of the jewelry piece and in connecting the fast...

Abstract

Described herein are embodiments of fasteners that provide a secure, elegant attachment for jewelry and that are easily interchangeable between jewelry. For example, in one embodiment, a magnetic jewelry fastener is provided having two magnets secured respectively in two separate detachable housings. In another embodiment, individual clasps are rigidly connected to each of the housings, the clasps each having a displaceable member.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present disclosure relates to jewelry fasteners and, more particularly, to interchangeable magnetic jewelry fasteners.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Jewelry fasteners are used to connect portions of jewelry together for functional and aesthetic purposes. Spring rings, for example, are used to connect two ends of a single piece together to form a bracelet, necklace, or anklet. The spring ring can also be used to connect a charm, or other fob, to a bracelet, necklace, or anklet. The spring ring includes a portion that opens when a small lever is pushed backwards, causing the lever to slide along a circular ring. Once the portion of the ring is open, rings or loops may be inserted into the spring ring through the open portion. Upon releasing the lever, the lever slides back along the circular ring to close the portion that was open, thus enclosing the ring or loop that was inserted within the circular spr...
