FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates generally to devices used in the fashion industry. More specifically, the present invention is an apparatus used to organize and store jewelry items intended to be worn with a single outfit.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONDue to the fast pace of today's society, the amount of time an individual can invest in their fashion needs is limited. The lack of time to decide on an outfit and fashion accessories can lead to unfavorable circumstances. For instance, a certain jewelry item chosen in a limited time period may not match with an outfit. Moreover, certain individuals may opt not to wear any jewelry due to the lack of time to choose from a large pile of jewelry items. The probability of misplacing jewelry items is also considerably high when operating in a limited time period. As experienced by many individuals the best approach to this issue is to organize the accessories ahead of time. The relaxed mindset allows an individual to decide on which items are to be worn with a certain outfit.
Jewelry boxes are traditionally used to organize and store a large amount of jewelry. However, the drawback of using jewelry boxes is that multiple jewelry items are placed together, and picking a desired item can be time consuming and stressful especially when operating in a limited time period. Due to size restrictions, jewelry boxes cannot always be carried around. Other traditional jewelry organizers have certain disadvantages as well. Hanging jewelry organizers also hold a large number of jewelry items, such that choosing a single item can be stressful when operating in a limited time period. Currently, if an individual needs to carry jewelry items, the entire organizer needs to be carried regardless of the number of jewelry items included. Carrying a large jewelry organizer in addition to a clothing outfit can be a stressful maneuver. Therefore, the only alternative is to take the essential jewelry items and place them in a bag, pouch or similar travel case. Placing jewelry items in a bag or pouch allows them to get tangled with each other and at times, can even be damaged.
The objective of the present invention is to address the aforementioned issues. More specifically, the present invention introduces a jewelry coordinator that can be used to store the essential jewelry items that correspond to one clothing outfit. The present invention is attached to the hanger, or slid over the hanger of a corresponding clothing outfit, such that the jewelry items are clearly organized together and the user can be ready within a short time period. The effective design of the present invention further allows a user to carry jewelry items along with an outfit. For instance, if an individual plans on getting prepared at the gym, the mobility of the present invention is extremely beneficial to carry the necessary jewelry. In contrast to many traditional devices, the design of the present invention provides storage space within a small area, and is intended to organize jewelry items that correspond to one particular outfit.
All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The present invention introduces a jewelry coordinator. More specifically, the present invention is an apparatus that is used to store jewelry items that are intended to be worn with a single clothing outfit. When utilizing the present invention, the present invention is hung along with the clothing outfit.

Similar to the first plurality of aesthetic backings 17, each of the second plurality of aesthetic backings 18 is positioned within a corresponding pouch 300 from the second plurality of pouches 4. As a result, each of the second plurality of aesthetic backings 18 is positioned in parallel to the front surface 100 of the flap 2. The transparent cover 6 of each of the second plurality of pouches 4 allows the user to clearly view both the jewelry items within the second plurality of pouches 4 and also the second plurality of aesthetic backings 18.
In utilizing the present invention the following process flow is followed. Initially, the user selects the jewelry items intended to be worn with a desired clothing outfit.
