Abstract: An interchangeable piece of jewelry including a base and a head mount. The base can include a post extending therefrom and the head mount can include a receptacle. The post has an outer wall defining a first circumferential groove. The receptacle is defined by an inner wall that further defines a second circumferential groove. A spring is disposed within the first circumferential groove. A spring retaining wall contains the spring within the first circumferential groove. When the post is placed within the receptacle, the circular spring extends from the first circumferential groove into the second circumferential groove, releasably securing the head mount to the base.

Abstract: An interchangeable piece of jewelry including a base and a head mount. The base includes an inner wall that defines a receptacle. The head mount includes a setting and an insert, the setting configured to retain a jewel therein and the insert being dimensioned to sit within the receptacle of the base. When the insert rests within the receptacle, an outer wall of the insert at a distal end contacts the inner wall of the receptacle such that the head mount is releasably secured within the receptacle, and the outer wall of the insert that is adjacent a proximal end and within the receptacle is spaced apart from the inner wall.
