Abstract: A jewelry item includes a plurality of components mounted in an end-to-end relationship on and along an annular, elastic support. Each component has two, generally planar end walls and an aperture for receiving the support and extending between the end walls. The end walls of adjacent components engage each other in surface area contact. The support can be a strap or a pair of wires. At least one of the components has a setting for a gemstone.

Abstract: An earring device comprises an ornamental element bearing means from which at least two thin ornamental elements are hung. These ornamental elements are thin cross-sectional (x,y -axes) depictions of animals, which when arranged on the bearing means, provide a three-dimensional illusion. In a preferred embodiment, the animal head and front quarter are depicted on a first thin ornamental element, and the animal rear quarter is depicted on a second element. When hung from the bearing means, spacers are provided to create a separation between the thin ornamental elements in a z-axes. This separation creates an illusion of depth along the z-axis, leading to a three dimensional depiction of the animal.
