DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The present invention is a decorative jewelry module that has multiple embodiments. The decorative jewelry module has at least one sidewall includes a circular sidewall in addition to a square, rectangle, trapezoid, hexagon, pentagon, octagon, oval, elliptical and triangle.

In addition the decorative jewelry module has least one top edge which includes the circular top edge that is a square, rectangle, trapezoid, hexagon, pentagram, octagon and triangle. Another embodiment has a decorative front.

A ferrofluid is a colloidal liquid made of nanoscale ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic particles suspended in a carrier fluid. Each tiny particle is thoroughly coated with a surfactant to inhibit clumping. Large ferromagnetic particles can be tipped out of the homogenous colloidal mixture, forming a separate clump of magnetic dust when exposed to a strong magnetic field. The magnetic attraction of nanoparticles is weak enough that the surfactant's Vander Waals force is sufficient to prevent magnetic clumping or agglomeration. Ferrofluids usually do not retain magnetization in the absence of an externally applied field and thus are often classified as superparamagnets rather than ferromagnets

FIG. 1 shows the flat magnet 16 attached to the back 6 of the decorative jewelry module 2. The back 6 has a front surface 12 and a back surface 14. The magnet 16 is attached to the back surface 14 of the back 6.

FIG. 2 shows the crystal face 8 attached to the back surface 20 of the front 10 of the decorative jewelry module 2. Some embodiments have different designs and arrangements to the front surface 18 of the front 10.

FIG. 3 shows the ferrofluid housing 22 of the decorative jewelry module 2.

FIG. 4 shows the mirror 4 of the decorative jewelry module 2 from the side. The mirror is attached to the front surface 12 of the back 6. The positioning of the flat mirror 4 is such that light is reflected forward away from the back 6 and therefore toward the front 10 and through the crystal face 8. The Front surface 24 of the mirror will reflect light while the back surface 26 will not reflect light.

FIG. 5 shows the flat magnet 16 attached to the back 6 of the decorative jewelry module 2 from the side. The flat magnet 16 is attached to the back surface 20 of the back 6.

FIG. 6 shows the crystal face 8 attached to the front 10 of the decorative jewelry module 2 from the side. The crystal face 8 is attached to the back surface 20 of the front 10. The front surface 18 is also visible.

FIG. 7 shows the ferrofluid housing 22 of the decorative jewelry module 2 from the side. It is clear from this view that the ferrofluid is housed between front 10 with its crystal face 8 and the back 6 with its flat magnet 16.

FIG. 8 shows the fiat mirror 16 of the decorative jewelry module 2 from the front 24. The front surface 24 of the flat mirror is reflective while the back surface 26 is not.

FIG. 9 shows the decorative jewelry module 2. The flat magnet 16 is attached to the back surface 14 of the back 6. The flat mirror 4 is attached to the front surface 12 of the back 6. The ferrofluid 28 is attracted to the flat magnet 16 which draws the ferrofluid 28 against the flat mirror 4. The ferrofluid 28 is contained within the housing 22 and with the front 10 attached the ferrofluid is encased within the decorative jewelry module 2. The front can also contain the crystal face 8.

FIG. 10 shows the flat magnet 16 attached to the back 6 with the flat mirror 4 and the ferrofluid 28. The flat magnet 16 attracts the ferrofluid 28 so it will sit on top of the flat mirror 4.

FIG. 11 shows the decorative jewelry module 2 as a square 30. This embodiment is configured the same as the other embodiments except is has a square configuration 30. The front 10 contains a crystal face 8 with ferrofluid 28 contained within the housing 22.

FIG. 12 shows the decorative jewelry module 2 as a rectangle 32. This embodiment is configured the same as the other embodiments except it is a rectangle configuration 32. The front 10 contains a crystal face 8 with ferrofluid 28 contained within the housing 22.

FIG. 13 shows the decorative jewelry module 2 as a trapezoid 34. This embodiment is configured the same as the other embodiments except it is a trapezoid configuration 34. The front 10 contains a crystal face 8 with ferrofluid 28 contained within the housing 22.

FIG. 14 shows the decorative jewelry module 2 as a hexagon 36. This embodiment is configured the same as the other embodiments except it is a hexagon configuration 36. The front 10 contains a crystal face 8 with ferrofluid 28 contained within the housing 22.

FIG. 15 shows the decorative jewelry module 2 as a pentagon 38. This embodiment is configured the same as the other embodiments except it is a pentagon configuration 38. The front 10 contains a crystal face 8 with ferrofluid 28 contained within the housing 22.

FIG. 16 shows the decorative jewelry module 2 as an octagon 40. This embodiment is configured the same as the the embodiments except it is an octagon configuration 40. The front 10 contains crystal face 8 with ferrofluid 28 contained within the housing 22.

FIG. 17 shows the decorative jewelry module 2 as an oval 42. This embodiment is configured the same as the other embodiments except it is an oval configuration 42. The front 10 contains a crystal face 8 with ferrofluid 28 contained within the housing 22.

FIG. 18 shows the decorative jewelry module 2 as at ellipse 44. This embodiment is configured the same as the other embodiments except it has an ellipse configuration 44. The front 10 contains a crystal face 8 with ferrofluid 28 contained within the housing 22.

FIG. 19 shows the decorative jewelry module 2 with a decorative face 46. This embodiment is configured the same as the other embodiments except it is a decorative face configuration 46. The front 10 contains a crystal face 8 with ferrofluid 28 contained within the housing 22.
