Abstract: A jewelry item includes a plurality of components mounted in an end-to-end relationship on and along an annular, elastic support. Each component has two, generally planar end walls and an aperture for receiving the support and extending between the end walls. The end walls of adjacent components engage each other in surface area contact. The support can be a strap or a pair of wires. At least one of the components has a setting for a gemstone.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for joining elements forming jeweller articles, such as precious metals and pearls, which device comprises: a pair of pin arranged at respective cross sections of a metal half-ring shaped link, made of a precious material; a pair of opposite holes arranged on the outer surface of a pearl so that the pair of pins can be housed in the holes to form a coupling element between the pearl and the metal ring-shaped link.

Abstract: A jewelry article is adapted for attachment as an extension of the temple arm on conventional eyeglasses. The jewelry extension, or "glasstension", grips the temple arm with an elastic loop portion of a gripping member, and the gripping member in turn supports one or more elongated strands of jewelry type decorations, such as beads and charms. Each glasstension is a unitary piece, with the elongated decorative strands being securely affixed onto the gripping member. In one particular embodiment, the glasstension includes two or more decorative strands, and two additional gripping members attached at or near the ends of two of the decorative strands, allowing the glasstension to be converted from a single sided glasstension to a combined double sided glasstension and eyeglass retainer.
