The current application claims a priority to the U.S. Provisional Patent application Ser. No. 62/540,678 filed on Aug. 3, 2017.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to interchangeable magnetic jewelry. The present invention introduces magnetic jewelry attachments that are intended to be used with a magnetic base. The design and the functionality of the present invention allows the user to make a wide variety of combinations at an affordable price.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Interchangeable fashion jewelry is a convenient form of jewelry that allows a user to create endless combinations of jewelry without buying completely new sets of jewelry. Even though convenient and cost-effective, interchangeable fashion jewelry has certain limitations and drawbacks.

A majority of the interchangeable jewelry products available in the market have a limited number of shapes, sizes, and designs. Most of these interchangeable jewelry items are round in shape. Furthermore, since most of these jewelry items have one attachment point, the overall shape of the jewelry item remains the same. As an example, the limited number of attachment points may not allow the user to create hanging jewelry. In another instance, the limited number of attachment points may not allow the user to attach multiple jewels.

Additionally, interchangeable jewelry that exist in the market do not contain bio-energy elements that provide health benefits to the user. Therefore, if the user intends on wearing bio-energy jewelry, the user needs to wear additional jewelry. Wearing interchangeable jewelry and bio-energy jewelry simultaneously might not be practical and may not always be cost-effective. As an example, the bio-energy jewelry and the interchangeable jewelry may not match a certain outfit when worn together. In another instance, if the interchangeable jewelry item is a chain, and the bio-energy jewelry item is also a chain, the user will have to decide on one jewelry item.

The objective of the present invention is to address the aforementioned issues. In particular, the present invention intends to fulfill the fashion needs of a user while providing health benefits. To do so, the present invention uses a set of neodymium magnets and a set of bio-energetic elements. The neodymium magnets allow the user to attach or detach a jewelry component as preferred. The effective positioning of the neodymium magnets allows the user to attach or detach jewelry of different sizes and shapes. The set of bio-energetic elements is embedded in the interchangeable jewelry. As a result, the user can get the intended health benefits while fulfilling individual fashion needs. The neodymium magnets have properties that are known to protect our bodies from electromagnetic frequencies (EMF's) by repelling the EMF's near our body. A wearer can match all their outfits and mood, have healthy elements and interchange them with ease. The effective positioning of the neodymium magnets allows the user to attach or detach jewelry of different sizes and shapes, not just round. The combination of interchangeable jewels, with neodymium magnets and bio energetic elements does not exists in the market place and will create a whole new concept in jewelry.

 DETAIL DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INVENTION

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 bio-magnetic interchangeable jewelry that is intended to fulfill fashion needs while providing health benefits to the user. The interchangeability and the ability to conveniently assemble and disassemble the present invention fulfills the fashion needs of the user. On the other hand, the material used in constructing the present invention and the bio-energetic elements included in the present invention provide health benefits to the user.

As seen in FIGS. 1-3, to fulfill the intended functionalities, the present invention comprises a base section 1, a jewelry attachment 8, at least one base magnet 12, and at least one attachment magnet 13. As shown in FIGS. 8-10, the base section 1, which can vary in size, shape, and design in different embodiments of the present invention, functions as the attachment surface for the jewelry attachment 8. Based upon the size, shape, and design, the base section 1 can be worn as a pendant on a necklace or as a charm on a bracelet. Similar to the base section 1, the jewelry attachment 8 can also vary in size, shape, and design in different embodiments of the present invention. By attaching the jewelry attachment 8 to the base section 1, different user preferred designs can be created. The at least one base magnet 12 and the at least one attachment magnet 13 are used in the process of attaching the jewelry attachment 8 to the base section 1. More specifically, the at least one base magnet 12 functions as an attachment point for the base section 1. The at least one attachment magnet 13 functions as an attachment point for the jewelry attachment 8.

When the present invention is worn, a portion of the base section 1 is directly in contact with the wearer. Thus, the base section 1 needs to be designed so that the user can wear the base section 1 around the neck or the wrist with no discomfort. To do so, as seen in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5, the base section 1 comprises a front surface 2, a structural body 3, a rear surface 6, and at least one recess 7. The structural body 3 extends from the front surface 2 to the rear surface 6 and determines the overall thickness of the base section 1. The front surface 2, which receives the jewelry attachment 8, would be exposed when the present invention is worn around the neck or the wrist. Thus, the front surface 2 would preferably have an ornamental design as shown in FIGS. 8-10. Since the rear surface 6 is positioned against the skin of the user, the rear surface 6 would have an overall planar shape so that the user feels no discomfort when the base section 1 is worn around the neck or the wrist. The at least one recess 7 is used to hold the at least one base magnet 12 within the structural body 3. Since the jewelry attachment 8 is connected at the front surface 2, the at least one recess 7 traverses into the structural body 3 through the front surface 2. Therefore, the at least one base magnet 12 is connected within in the at least one recess 7. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the base section 1 is made of surgical stainless steel. However, the material used for the base section 1 can vary in different embodiments of the present invention.

To connect the at least one base magnet 12 within the at least one recess 7, the present invention further comprises a base adhesive layer 14 which can be, but is not limited to, a steel-based epoxy. When the base adhesive layer 14 is used, the at least one base magnet 12 is connected within the at least one recess 7 with the base adhesive layer 14. Even though the base adhesive layer 14 is used in the preferred embodiment, other fastening mechanisms such as snaps, latches, and fasteners can be used in other embodiments of the present invention.

The jewelry attachment 8 is connected to the base section 1 through the magnetic properties of the at least one base magnet 12 and the at least one attachment magnet 13. The at least one attachment magnet 13 is connected to the jewelry attachment 8. Thus, by magnetically attaching the at least one attachment magnet 13 to the at least one base magnet 12, the jewelry attachment 8 can be connected to base section 1. Even though only one magnet is used in the preferred embodiment, in other embodiments of the present invention, multiple magnets can be used in both the base section 1 and the jewelry attachment 8. As an example, if two magnets are present at the front surface 2 of the base section 1, the jewelry attachment 8 will also have two connected magnets that correspond to the two magnets on the front surface 2. By utilizing different variations of the magnets, the user can create a plethora of preferred designs.

As discussed before, the base adhesive layer 14 is used to secure the at least one base magnet 12 within the at least one recess 7. Depending on the particular design of various embodiments of the jewelry attachment 8, in some embodiments the present invention may further comprise an attachment adhesive layer 15 that is used to secure the at least one attachment magnet 13 with the jewelry attachment 8. To do so, as seen in FIG. 4, the jewelry attachment 8 comprises a body 9 and at least one cavity 10, wherein the at least one cavity 10 traverses into the body 9. The shape, size, and design of the jewelry attachment 8 can vary in different embodiments of the present invention. The at least one attachment magnet 13 is connected within the at least one cavity 10 with the attachment adhesive layer 15 which can be, but is not limited to, a steel-based epoxy. Since the at least one cavity 10 positions the at least one attachment magnet 13 within the body 9, the overall look of the jewelry attachment 8 is not disturbed.

In another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the jewelry attachment 8 is intended to be hanging from the base section 1, the jewelry attachment 8 comprises a body 9 and a connection portion 11, as seen in FIGS. 6-7. The connection portion 11 will be terminally connected to the body 9, and the at least one attachment magnet 13 will also be terminally connected to the connection portion 11 opposite the body 9. Thus, when the at least one attachment magnet 13 is magnetically connected to the at least one base magnet 12, the body 9 of the jewelry attachment 8 will be hanging from the base section 1. The connection portion 11 can be a chain or other comparable jewelry item.

In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, both the at least one base magnet 12 and the at least one attachment magnet 13 are neodymium magnets. By using neodymium magnets, the user is protected against unhealthy electromagnetic frequencies produced when using mobile phones, computers, and other electromagnetic wave emitting devices. The use of neodymium magnets also improves the healing processes of the human body, improves the blood circulation of the user, and can help in reducing stress. Even though neodymium magnets are used in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, other comparable magnetic material can be used in other embodiments of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, to provide additional health benefits, the present invention further comprises at least two bio-energetic elements 16. When in use, the at least two bio-energetic elements 16 can be used to improve strength, balance, and energy levels, assist in pain relief, and assist in enhancing quality of sleep. To position the at least two bio-energetic elements 16, the present invention further comprises at least two energy element receiving cavities 17 that traverse into the structural body 3 at the rear surface 6. Each of the at least two-bio energetic elements 16 is positioned into a corresponding cavity of the at least two energy element receiving cavities 17 such that the at least two bio-energetic elements 16 are in contact with the skin of the user when the present invention is worn. As discussed before, the present invention is intended to be worn around the neck or wrist of the user. As illustrated in FIGS. 1-10, to be used as a pendant for a necklace, the present invention further comprises at least one bale 18. Preferably, the at least one bale 18 will be terminally connected to a top edge 4 of the base section 1, wherein the top edge 4 is positioned in between the front surface 2 and the rear surface 6. The number of bales used with the base section 1 can vary with the overall design of the base section 1.

As seen in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, to increase the number of possible combinations, the present invention further comprises at least one edgewise receiving hole 19, at least one edgewise magnet 20, and an edgewise adhesive layer 21. The at least one edgewise receiving hole 19 traverses into the structural body 3 at a bottom edge 5 of the structural body 3, wherein the bottom edge 5 is positioned in between the front surface 2 and the rear surface 6. A distance between the top edge 4 and the bottom edge 5 determines an overall height of the base section 1. The at least one edgewise magnet 20 is positioned within the at least one edgewise receiving hole 19 through the edgewise adhesive layer 21. Similar to the at least one base magnet 12 and the at least one attachment magnet 13, the at least one edgewise magnet 20 is also preferably a neodymium magnet. Moreover, the edgewise adhesive layer 21 is preferably a steel-based epoxy in the preferred embodiment of the present invention. By positioning the at least one edgewise magnet 20 within the at least one edgewise receiving hole 19, the present invention allows the user to attach a preferred jewelry item along the bottom edge 5 and create a hanging or drop jewelry item.

When the present invention is in use, the following process flow is generally followed. If the present invention is to be used as a pendant for a necklace, the necklace is initially positioned through the at least one bale 18. If the present invention is to be used as a charm on a bracelet, the bracelet is positioned through the at least one bale 18. After positioning the necklace or the bracelet as required, the jewelry attachment 8 is connected to the base section 1. More specifically, the at least one attachment magnet 13 is positioned against the at least one base magnet 12 so that the jewelry attachment 8 is connected to the base section 1. If the base section 1 has a pair of base magnets, the jewelry attachment 8 will also have a pair of attachment magnets to connect with each of the pair of base magnets. If the jewelry attachment 8 is meant to be hanging, the at least one edgewise receiving hole 19 can be used as well. When the jewelry attachment 8 is connected to the base section 1, the present invention is worn such that the rear surface 6 is in contact with the skin of the user. Thus, the at least two bio-energetic elements 16 embedded in the rear surface 6 will be in contact with the skin of the user providing numerous health benefits.

Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
