[0022] The present utility model relates to a reversible flexible piece of jewellery as in Fig. 1 and Fig. 8. The piece of jewelry comprises several jewelry units 1 and at least one pivot bearing component 2. Connecting openings 13 are located on both opposite sides of each jewelry unit 1. The jewelry units 1 are rotatably connected to one another by the pivot bearing component 2 with the connecting openings 13, and a limiting element 3 is attached to each jewelry unit 1, which limits the rotational movement of the pivot bearing component 2. In this exemplary embodiment, the jewelry units 1 are rotatably connected to one another via the pivot bearing component 2. When a jewelry unit 1 is rotated into the required position, the limiting element 3 can fix the pivot bearing component 2 so that the jewelry units 1 remain in the desired position. This prevents the jewelry units 1 from continuing to rotate freely and changing their shape during use. This utility model offers high flexibility and can be converted into various shapes.It solves the problem that conventional jewelry usually only represents a single form. The piece of jewelry offers versatile uses, is highly decorative, and meets the diverse needs of its users.

[0023] In one embodiment, as in the Fig. 1 to 11, the jewelry unit 1 includes a main body 11 and two back cases 12. The main body 11 consists of a front side 14 and a back side 15, with installation slots 111 provided on the opposite sides of the back side 15. The two back cases 12 are respectively fixed in the installation slots 111; the two plug openings 131 on the main body 11 and the back cases 12 form a connection opening 13. Specifically, the jewelry unit 1 is divided into two parts. After the pivot support member 2 with the pivot axis 22 is inserted into the position of the plug opening 131 of the main body 11, the back case 12 is inserted into the installation slot 111 so that the plug opening 131 of the back case 12 is aligned with the plug opening 131 of the main body 11, and the back case 12 and the main body 11 are fixed by welding.A limiting bead (not shown) is provided on the inner wall of the connecting opening 13, and a limiting groove (not shown) is provided on the pivot axis 22 to achieve a positive connection between the limiting bead and the limiting groove, so that the pivot axis 22 cannot fall out of the connecting opening 13. Of course, the position of the limiting bead and the limiting groove can also be reversed, so that the limiting bead is arranged on the pivot axis 22 and the limiting groove is arranged on the inner wall of the connecting opening 13. The front side 14 of the main part 11 is the decorative surface that faces outwards during wear and can be viewed by the observer. The jewelry unit 1 can be made of gold, silver, or an alloy, without any restrictions.

[0024] In one embodiment, as in Fig. 2, a first decoration position is provided on the front side 14, onto which a first decoration element 141 is mounted. The first decoration element 141 can optionally be a diamond, which is set at the first decoration location using the diamond setting technique in order to achieve a one-sided diamond setting of the jewelry unit 1. The front side 14 of the jewelry unit 1 can have a plurality of first decoration locations, wherein the central decoration location can contain a main diamond surrounded by a row of secondary diamonds. The shape of the secondary diamonds can correspond to the external shape of the jewelry unit 1; for example, if the jewelry unit 1 is heart-shaped, the secondary diamonds together form a heart shape.

[0025] In one embodiment, as in the Fig. As shown in Figures 1, 8 to 13, the limiting member 3 is a limiting spring plate. At the positions of the connecting hole 13 on the jewelry unit 1, there are limiting holes 121 that communicate with the connecting holes 13. The limiting spring plate is installed in the limiting hole 121 and abuts against the pivot support member 2. In detail, the limiting hole 121 is continuously arranged along a direction perpendicular to the front side 14 of the back case 12, and the limiting spring plate is installed in the limiting hole 121. The limiting spring plate has a certain elasticity and deforms under pressure. At the end of the limiting spring plate and in the limiting hole 121, there are mating limiting members (not shown) consisting of a limiting groove and a limiting block. This ensures that the limiting spring plate remains secure after being installed in the limiting hole 121 and will not fall out.When the limiting spring plate is installed in the limiting hole 121, it abuts the rotation axis 22 of the pivot bearing component 2, creating friction and preventing the jewelry unit 1 from rotating freely. This limits the free rotation of the jewelry unit 1 and holds it in the desired position. When external pressure is exerted on the jewelry unit 1, the rotation axis 22 can compress the limiting spring plate, causing the limiting spring plate to deform and the jewelry unit 1 to rotate about the rotation axis 22. Once the jewelry unit 1 has been rotated to the desired position, the external pressure is removed, and the friction between the rotation axis 22 and the limiting spring plate prevents further rotation of the jewelry unit 1. The limiting spring plate can be made of soft rubber such as rubber, silicone, or the like.

[0026] In one embodiment, as in the Fig. 1 and Fig. As shown in Figure 10, the pivot bearing component 2 comprises a fixing part 21 and two pivot axes 22, wherein the two pivot axes 22 are attached to the two sides of the fixing part 21. The two pivot axes 22 are arranged at an angle to each other and inserted into the connecting openings 13 of adjacent jewelry units 1. The fixing part 21 can be cylindrical, and the pivot axes 22 are attached to the sides of the fixing part 21.

[0027] In one embodiment, as in the Fig. As shown in Figures 10 to 13, the rotation axis 22 has a rounded square cross-section. The cross-section of the rotation axis 22 corresponds to a rounded square, with one side of the rotation axis 22 corresponding to the position of the limiting hole 121 in the rear housing 12. The limiting spring plate is installed in the limiting hole 121. As shown in Fig. 12, when no external pressure is applied (stable position), the rotation axis 22 hits the limiting spring plate, which limits the free rotation of the jewelry unit 1. As shown in Fig. 13, when an external pressure is applied (unstable position), an external pressure must be applied to rotate the jewelry unit 1 about the rotation axis 22, with stable limits at the angles 0°, 90°, 180° and 270°.

[0028] In one embodiment, as in Fig. As shown in Figure 10, the fixing part 21 includes two opposite exposed surfaces (not shown), each of which provides a second decorative location on which a second decorative element 211 is installed. This allows second decorative elements 211 to be arranged on both sides of the fixing part 21. The first decorative elements 141 and the second decorative elements 211 may include diamonds, mother-of-pearl, jade, crystals, or pearls, without limitation.

[0029] In one embodiment, as in Fig. 1, a connecting part 23 is provided on at least one pivot bearing component 2, which serves to connect connecting elements (not shown) so that the flexible piece of jewelry can be worn as a pendant. This pendant can be used as a necklace pendant, bracelet pendant, or earring pendant without any restrictions. The flexible piece of jewelry can also serve as an accessory for clothing, hats, or other decorative items by being attached to them via connecting elements. The connecting part 23 can be designed as a connecting hook that is attached to the fixing part 21 and connected to a connecting element (e.g., a chain ring). A connecting part 23 can also be attached to the fixing part 21 of a pivot bearing component 2 or to both fixing parts 21 of adjacent pivot bearing components 2 in order to ensure a stable connection and prevent accidental tipping.

[0030] In one embodiment, as in Fig. 1 and Fig. As shown in Figure 9, the jewelry unit 1 is heart-shaped and includes an upper round part 16 and a lower pointed part 17, with the jewelry unit 1 tapering from top to bottom. The connecting openings 13 are located on both sides of the upper round part 16. The jewelry unit 1 can also be chosen in the shape of a triangle, with the connecting openings 13 located at the two corners of the triangle.

[0031] In one embodiment, the jewelry unit 1 comprises four pieces, and the pivot bearing component 2 comprises four pieces. The four jewelry units 1 are connected to each other by the four pivot bearing components 2, either in an integral or separate structure.

[0032] Specifically, in one embodiment, the pivot bearing component 2 is designed as a separate structure. Fig. 1 to 4 show a first wearing option of this embodiment. After turning the individual jewelry units 180°, the flexible piece of jewelry changes from the first wearing option to the second wearing option and appears in the state of Fig. 5 to 7. In this embodiment, the separate pivot bearing component 2 enables an invisible functional structure, minimizing the impact on the external appearance of the product, achieving the unity of decorativeness and functionality. Furthermore, this structure leads to fewer restrictions on later expansion of the structure, simplifying product transformation and increasing market value. Furthermore, the separate design of the pivot bearing component 2 ensures that the individual components of the piece of jewelry have a certain degree of mobility, resulting in a flexible and variable appearance. During wear, the piece of jewelry can undergo slight deformations and bends along the body contours, which increases wearing comfort. In this embodiment, the two rotation axes 22 of the pivot bearing component 2 are arranged at an angle of 90° to each other.

[0033] Additionally, if the pivot bearing component 2 is designed as a separate structure, the connection of the jewelry units 1 can be flexibly designed as needed. The jewelry units 1 can be connected to each other in a straight line, an arc, or a zigzag shape. The two rotation axes 22 of the pivot bearing component 2 are movably connected to the fixing part 21, and by changing the angle between the two rotation axes 22, the shape of the connection of the jewelry units 1 can be further adjusted.

[0034] In another embodiment, when the pivot bearing component 2 is designed as an integral structure, after assembling the frame of the integrated pivot bearing component 2, the pivot bearing component 2 is inserted into the insertion openings 131 of the plurality of main parts 11, and then the plurality of back cases 12 are welded into the installation slots 111 of the main parts 11, respectively, to enable a rotating connection of the plurality of jewelry units 1. Fig. 14 shows a first carrying possibility of this embodiment, and Fig. 15 shows a second carrying option for this embodiment. As shown in the Fig. 14 to 16, the use of the pivot bearing component 2 in an integral structure results in the functional structure (rotation axis 22) becoming visible on the front side 14, which has a negative impact on the aesthetic appearance.

[0035] During assembly: The main body 11, the rotating bearing component 2, and the back case 12 are installed and combined in order, and the main body 11 is welded to the back case 12 to form a heart-shaped jewelry unit 1. After the combination is completed, the rotating bearing component 2 forms a square frame on which the jewelry unit 1 composed of the main body 11 and the back case 12 can be rotated, thereby changing the appearance of the jewelry and achieving the goal of versatility.
