JEWELERY ELEMENT AND CHAIN

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a jewelery element (2) by which a wearer can vary the appearance of a suitably designed general purpose jewelery element (2). SOLUTION: Two rotation parts (11, 15) are rotatably attached to a shaft (10) passed through an opening (9) surrounded by a frame body (4) and are set in the rectangular frame body (4), and a first rotation part (11) surrounds an elongated second rotation part (15) in a fork shape. The first and second rotation parts (11, 15) may respectively take two fixed positions separate away in 180° and are engaged with the frame body (4) or the first rotation part (11) in the fixed positions. By rotating the rotation parts (11, 15), the outer surface of the jewelery element (2) may be varied. Further, the jewelery elements (2) may be combined to form a chain and used, for instance, as a strap of a watch. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
