MULTIPLE USE JEWELRY
Illustrated views of a multiple use necklace device and a bracelet for dispensing perfume and beauty products is presented. The multiple use necklace device and bracelet are useful for providing a jewelry adornment for a neck of a person. Furthermore, the multiple use necklace device and bracelet are useful for providing access to one or more perfumes in a single piece of jewelry. The multiple use necklace device and bracelet also allows for other beauty products to be carried within the multiple use necklace device and bracelet.
This invention relates to jewelry. More particularly, it relates to multiple uses for jewelry.
BACKGROUNDA necklace is an article of jewelry that is worn around the neck. Necklaces may have been one of the earliest types of adornment worn by humans. They often serve ceremonial, religious, magical, or funerary purposes and are also used as symbols of wealth and status, given that they are commonly made of precious metals and stones.
The main component of a necklace is the band, chain, or cord that wraps around the neck. These are most often rendered in precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum. Necklaces often have additional attachments suspended or inset into the necklace itself. These attachments typically include pendants, lockets, amulets, crosses, and precious and semi-precious materials such as diamond, pearls, rubies, emeralds, garnets, and sapphires. They are made with many different types of materials and are used for many things and sometimes classed as clothing.
A bracelet is an article of jewelry that is worn around the wrist. Bracelets may serve different uses, such as being worn as an ornament. When worn as ornaments, bracelets may have a supportive function to hold other items of decoration, such as charms. Medical and identity information are marked on some bracelets, such as allergy bracelets, hospital patient-identification tags, and bracelet tags for newborn babies. Bracelets may be worn to signify a certain phenomenon, such as breast cancer awareness, or for religious/cultural purposes.
If a bracelet is a single, inflexible loop, it is often called a bangle. When it is worn around the ankle it is called an ankle bracelet or anklet. A boot bracelet is used to decorate boots. Colloquially, handcuffs are sometimes called bracelets. Bracelets can be manufactured from metal, leather, cloth, plastic, bead or other materials, and jewelry bracelets sometimes contain jewels, rocks, wood, shells, crystals, metal, or plastic hoops, pearls and many more materials.
Necklaces and bracelets are one-trick ponies in that they are used for ornamental effect. When a person is out and does not have a side bag or purse, they may want to freshen up with perfume and/or beauty products like blush and makeup. This requires the person to carry the perfume and beauty products separately and thus is not convenient.
Accordingly, in light of the foregoing, there is a need for a device that can be worn as jewelry and has access to perfume and beauty products to alleviate a need to carry the perfume and beauty products separately. Further, the device should be easy to open and dispense the perfume and/or beauty products.
