ARTICLES OF JEWELRY WITH PROVISION FOR MAGNETIC INTERACTION

摘要

An article of jewelry, e.g. necklace, bracelet or the like, comprising a flexible strand and one or more ornaments shaped, configured and dimensioned to be slidably retainable on the strand; one or more spaced apart magnetic components associated with (e.g. embedded) inside the strand; and a magnetic insert embedded in at least one of the ornament or ornaments which magnetic insert is attractable to the magnet components, whereby the one or more ornaments can be releasably retained on the strand by the force of magnetic attraction. Some examples of the strand can also have no ornaments and be stackable together using the force of magnetic attraction, and also a magnetic connector assembly comprising a first part coupled to a first end of the strand, and a second part coupled to a second end of the strand, each part having a magnetic component attractive to each other, the first and second parts being adapted to releasably connect together to form the strand into an endless loop.
