Abstract: A modular jewelry set capable of forming a variety of assemblies using some or all components includes a group of core components each having at least one manually actuable clasping mechanism on each end, at least one connector ring adapted to be engaged by more than one clasping mechanism at a time, and, preferably, at least one strand of which at least a portion of its length is elastic. One or more of each core component can be joined to the other either end-to-end or in parallel, using one or more rings to accept the clasps at the ends of the components thereby forming an assembly. The resulting jewelry assembly has many uses including but not limited to hair dressing and clothing accessorizing.
