Abstract: A plurality of structures, both alike and disalike, selectively and collectively comprising modular jewelry, may be arranged in various configurations as earrings, a pendant, a bracelet, necklace, belt, or the like. Such modular jewelry elements may be engaged and disengaged with one another without any substantial bending or flexing of attachment features thereof, while still providing a substantial freedom of movement for adjacent interconnected modular jewelry elements. Such modular jewelry is both functional and aesthetically acceptable. The disclosed structure shields from view the modularity of the jewelry, while providing modular elements which are readily reconfigured as desired but which do not become readily disassembled when not desired.
