Necklace with interchangeable jewel part

A jewelry item comprising:

• a main part, having at least one connection,
• and having first and second pieces which are connected to one another,
• the first piece having an inside having a first surface which is substantially flat, a second surface which is also substantially flat and is parallel to the first surface, but is spaced therefrom by a first distance at a different level than the first surface, and a step surface, which extends between said first surface and said second surface, where the step surface is perpendicular to the first surface and to the second surface, the first surface, second surface, and step surface collectively forming a connection surface, and the first piece having an outside surface at an opposite side from the connection surface, having an ornamental jewel thereon,
• and the second piece having an inside having a first surface which is substantially flat, a second surface which is also substantially flat and is parallel to the first surface, but is spaced therefrom by a first distance at a different level than the first surface, and a step surface, which extends between said first surface and said second surface, where the step surface is perpendicular to the first surface and to the second surface, the first surface, second surface, and step surface collectively forming a second connection surface,
• the second connection surface fitting with the first connection surface,
• where the first connection surface and the second connection surface each include a magnetic part recessed into at least one of the surface,
• and where the first piece and the second piece are held to one another by their inside surfaces, held by the magnetic part, where the jewelry item is an earring, and connects to an earring holder that goes into a user's ear.

A method of operating a jewelry item comprising:

• connecting first and second pieces of a main part to one another,
• the first piece having an inside having a first surface which is substantially flat, a second surface which is also substantially flat and is parallel to the first surface, but is spaced therefrom by a first distance at a different level than the first surface, and a step surface, which extends between said first surface and said second surface, where the step surface is perpendicular to the first surface and to the second surface, the first surface, second surface, and step surface collectively forming a connection surface, and the first piece having an outside surface at an opposite side from the connection surface, having an ornamental jewel thereon,
• and the second piece having an inside having a first surface which is substantially flat, a second surface which is also substantially flat and is parallel to the first surface, but is spaced therefrom by a first distance at a different level than the first surface, and a step surface, which extends between said first surface and said second surface, where the step surface is perpendicular to the first surface and to the second surface, the first surface, second surface, and step surface collectively forming a second connection surface,
• the second connection surface fitting with the first connection surface,
• where the first connection surface and the second connection surface each include a magnetic part recessed into at least one of the surface, wherein said connecting uses said magnetic part to hold between the connection surfaces;
• and
• disconnecting the first connection surface and the second connection surface and exposing said first and second connection surfaces each with a magnetic connection, and attaching a first ornamental ending, which fits to said connection surface of the first piece, and has an inside surface that fits to the inside surface of the first piece, and has an outside surface which includes an ornamental jewel thereon, and
• attaching a second ornamental ending which fits to said connection surface of the second piece, and has an inside surface that fits to the inside surface of the second piece, and has an outside surface which includes an ornamental jewel thereon, wherein the first piece having a perimeter surface extending around an entire edge of the first piece,
• the first surface, second surface, and step surface of the first piece collectively extending between the perimeter surface so that only the first surface, second surface, and step surface collectively exist within the perimeter surface and the second piece having a perimeter surface extending around an entire edge of the second piece,
• and the first surface, second surface, and step surface of the second piece collectively extending between the perimeter surface so that only the first surface, second surface, and step surface collectively exist within the perimeter surface, and the second connection surface fitting with the first connection surface, with the flat first surface of the first connection surface fitting with the flat second surface of the second connection surface and with the flat second surface of the first connection surface fitting with the flat first surface of the second connection surface, and with the step surface of the first connection surface fitting with the step surface of the second connection surface thus connecting the flat surfaces and step surfaces over an area covering an entirety of the perimeter surface.
