Abstract: Jewelry apparatus have a front planar body and a back planar body hingedly attached to one another by a transverse hinge, a retractable member secured to one of the planar bodies, and a cam in the transverse hinge in operative engagement with the retractable member and incorporated to rotate when either the front planar body or the back planar body rotates to an open position, thereby pushing the retractable member into a protruding position. Each planar body has a central spine, a first leaf, and a second leaf opposite the first leaf that are each hingedly attached to the central spine by a hinge oriented in a lengthwise direction (perpendicular to the transverse hinge). The lengthwise hinges can be spring hinges that automatically bias the first leaf and second leaf into an elongate position after the front planar body is folded along the transverse hinge to an open position.

Abstract: Jewelry bezel settings have a band defining an aperture shaped to receive a stone. The band has a flange defining an upper opening and a pavilion-facing interior surface defining a lower opening. The flange extends radially inward a pre-selected distance to sit on a top edge of a girdle of the stone, and the pavilion-facing interior surface is angled to seat against facets of the stone. A channel is formed in and extends around an interior perimeter of the band between the flange and the pavilion-facing interior surface, and a cured material fills the channel and defines a plurality of pavilion facet-mating surfaces. The cured material defines a layer having a preselected color selected to enhance a brilliance of the stone.

Abstract: A system sends the identification of an electronic incentive award that a player may into a mobile device. The electronic incentive award may be sent in response to the player performing an action to complete an incentive objective on an electronic gaming machine (EGM). The system receives incentive progress data that corresponds to the action to complete the incentive objective. The incentive progress data indicates player progress towards completing the incentive objective. In response to the incentive progress data indicating that the player has completed the incentive objective, the system provides the electronic incentive award to the mobile device for the player to use on the mobile device.

Abstract: A jewelry ring having an outer ring fixedly spaced radially apart from an inner ring by a connecting member where the outer ring defines a plurality of open mountings and the inner ring defines a first plurality of openings, which are aligned with one another. At least two of the plurality of openings in the inner ring are interconnected by a slot to collectively define a receptacle in which a size adjusting device is seated and is connected thereto by a slot and pin mechanism enabling the size adjusting device to translate radially between a smallest interior diameter position and a largest interior diameter position. The size adjusting device has an arcuate insert defining a second plurality of openings aligned one each with one of the plurality of open mountings of the outer ring and has a biasing member seated between the arcuate insert and the outer ring.

Abstract: A jewelry box for holding jewelry is disclosed that has an elongate member having a first end and a second end, an inner surface and an outer surface, and that is foldable between an open position and a closed position, where the closed position is a box. A jewelry-receiving member protrudes from the inner surface of the elongate member for movement therewith and defines a receptacle to receive a piece of jewelry. The receptacle, in the open position, is oriented generally perpendicular to the inner surface of the elongate member and, in the closed position, after rotation of the jewelry-receiving member of about 90 degrees, is oriented generally parallel to the inner surface of the elongate member.
