Abstract: A jewelry article, such as a charm or pendant, includes a hollow body having plural generally spherical bearing recesses for receiving bearing parts of plural appendages which are secured to the body by respective retaining pins having truncated spherical head portions and shank portions which project from the bearing part to the interior of the body. The pin shank portions are soldered to the body from within the interior cavity to provide rotatable hidden joint connections between the body and the appendages, respectively. Each appendage has an additional elongated part which is secured to the bearing part after the bearing part is secured to the body. The body is cast as a two part hollow structure, one of the body parts having the plural recesses and a hemispherical boss for supporting the bearing parts of the appendages and for supporting a further appendage by a retaining pin extending from within the one body part through the further appendage.

Abstract: A jewelry article, such as a pendant or a charm, includes a hollow body and one or more hollow or solid appendages which are secured to the body by an elongated pin having an integral head and which provides a rotatable hidden joint connection between the body and appendage. The body is cast as a two-part hollow body and one of the parts having one or more bearing pads or surfaces and one or more bores for receiving respective connection pins. The pins each project through a bore in an appendage and each pin is secured to an appendage at a distal end by soldering, for example. The interior cavity of the body is closed by securing a second body part to a first body part by soldering or a suitable adhesive.
