Abstract: A brooch comprising two parts (1, 2) is provided with a hinge (4) and a hinge pin (3). Pocket-like cavities (5, 6) are provided in the brooch parts (1, 2) diametrically opposite the hinge (4). A spring pin (7) is soldered in one of the pockets (5) which locks positively in the pocket in the other part of the brooch when it is closed. A pin (10) is affixed to one part of the brooch and extends across the brooch from an area remote from the hinge to an area adjacent the hinge on the other part of the brooch (2) where an eye (11) is provided. As the two parts (1, 2) of the brooch are swung open or shut, the tip of the pin (10) moves into or out of the eye (11). A notch (12) is provided at the joint between the two parts of the brooch (1, 2). The fastener according to the present invention is particularly compact, hardly increases the thickness of the piece of jewelry concerned and makes possible the creation of a number of new designs of jewelry.

Abstract: A jewelry member comprises an elongated, resiliently flexible coil spring element, a jewelry post on one end of the coil spring element and a jewelry clutch on the other end of the coil spring element. The jewelry member can be worn as a pierced earring by passing the post through an aperture in an earlobe of a wearer and then assembling the clutch on the post so that the spring element is retained in a substantially circular ring-like disposition. The jewelry member can alternatively be assembled in end-to-end relation with other similar jewelry members by assembling the post of each jewelry member with the clutch of another jewelry member to form an enlarged ring which can be worn as a necklace or a bracelet.

Abstract: An inexpensive novelty device for simulating a hug having a coiled flexible strip that is normally resistant to uncoiling with animated appendages attached to each end.

The two members may be generally arcuate in design.

Abstract: A post to extend through the pierced hole in an ear lobe. One end of the post has a stop that is positioned against one surface of the ear lobe. The opposite end of the post has a small male snap connector portion. A smooth and flat back with a small female snap connector portion therein is snapped on the post against the other surface of the ear lobe to retain the post in the pierced hole, but if the post or the back is pulled, the back automatically releases from the post to prevent injury to the ear lobe. The back has a barrier that prevents the post from passing completely through the back. The stop has and the back may have a connector portion for attaching interchangeable ornaments. When worn with no ornament attached, the earring is essentially nonsnaggy. Interchangeable ornaments are provided with mating connector portions to hold the ornament to the post during normal activity but whenever an ornament is pulled, to automatically release the ornament from the post to prevent injury to the ear lobe.

Abstract: A wrist encircling one-piece discontinuous flexible bracelet has a recessed outside surface protected by an upstanding ridge on each edge and a thin flexible decorative cover which fits between the upstanding ridges around the bracelet with the cover attached to the bracelet at spaced locations so that when the bracelet is sprung open to slip it onto the wrist to wear it or remove it from the wrist, the cover is free between attachments to bend away from the bracelet to relieve it and the attachments from the compressive loads on the decorative cover.
