Benefits of technology

[0018]The invention allows users to removably affix one or more decorative elements (e.g. ornaments) to a strand in one or more positions to create a variety of looks. When positioned in a spaced apart relationship, the ornaments can avoid getting damaged by rubbing together. The simplified connector assembly, e.g. clasp or closure mecha...

Problems solved by technology

In some instances, the placement of the strung objects is not secure and there is a risk of damage to the objects through contact with neighbouring strung objects.
Furthermore, in some jewelry, there ...

Embodiment Construction

[0043]In this patent application, wearable jewelry including bracelets, necklaces, anklets, waist chains and other similar products may also be called “stranded jewelry”. Chains, cables, strands, strings, chords and other similar items may also be called “strands”. Magnetic components means components that are magnets or which can be magnetically charged to form a magnetic field, e.g. components made of ferromagnetic materials such iron, chrome, and the like.

[0044]Magnetic components can pertain to the strand, and such will may herein also be called “attractors.” Ornaments such as beads, baubles, charms and the like, incorporating magnetic components may herein also be called “attractor ornaments.”

[0045]FIGS. 1-3 show an article of jewelry according to one embodiment of the invention in the form of a bracelet 1 comprising a flexible strand 30 for encircling a body part (i.e. wrist) of a wearer. The bracelet 1 has multiple magnetic components comprising internal magnetic attractors 4...

Abstract

An article of jewelry, e.g. necklace, bracelet or the like, comprising a flexible strand and one or more ornaments shaped, configured and dimensioned to be slidably retainable on the strand; one or more spaced apart magnetic components associated with (e.g. embedded) inside the strand; and a magnetic insert embedded in at least one of the ornament or ornaments which magnetic insert is attractable to the magnet components, whereby the one or more ornaments can be releasably retained on the strand by the force of magnetic attraction. Some examples of the strand can also have no ornaments and be stackable together using the force of magnetic attraction, and also a magnetic connector assembly comprising a first part coupled to a first end of the strand, and a second part coupled to a second end of the strand, each part having a magnetic component attractive to each other, the first and second parts being adapted to releasably connect together to form the strand into an endless loop.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to articles of jewelry, and more particularly, to articles to jewelry having magnetic elements.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Articles of jewelry are known comprising multiple precious or semi-precious stones, beads, charms or other ornamental objects strung on a strand, such as a necklace, bracelet or anklet chain. In some instances, the placement of the strung objects is not secure and there is a risk of damage to the objects through contact with neighbouring strung objects. Furthermore, in some jewelry, there is no provision for keeping a strung object in a selected position on the strand, with the result that the wearer is constantly in need of moving the object, such as a pendant, back to the desired location.[0003]Different approaches have been developed to limit the movement of objects along a strand of jewelry, including the use of clasps, glue, and knots, such as knots used in a string of pearls to keep the pearls in plac...
