The wearable device includes a first section and a second section with a latch there between. First grooves are provided in the first section and second grooves in the second section. At least one guide path is provided to the first grooves to enable guiding of a plurality of design members into or out of the first grooves and the second grooves. A locking pin allows locking the design members within the first grooves and the second grooves. At least one protruding member is provided adjacent to the first grooves or the second grooves to receive the latch and to releasably lock the first section to the second section when the wearable device is worn. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A wearable device comprising: at least one ornamental member having an opening and having a latch associated with the opening; one or more grooves in the at least one ornamental member; at least one guide path to the one or more grooves to guide design members into or out of the one or more grooves; at least one locking member to lock the design members within the one or more grooves; and at least one latching member provided adjacent to the one or more grooves to receive the latch and to enable releasable locking of the latch. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The wearable device of claim 1, further comprising: a first section and a second section forming the at least one ornamental member; first grooves of the one or more grooves in the first section and second grooves of the one or more grooves in the second section; and third grooves in the at least one guide path, the third grooves to enable the design members to pass through to one or more of the first grooves and the second grooves. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The wearable device of claim 2, further comprising: a hinge to couple the first section to the second section. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The wearable device of claim 2, said at least one latching member comprising: a first traversing pin within the first section; and a second traversing pin within the second section, wherein the first traversing pin is adapted to receive a locking groove of a first portion of the latch and the second traversing pin is adapted to receive a second locking groove of a second portion of the latch. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The wearable device of claim 1, wherein the at least one locking member is to be associated with the latch to support the releasable locking of the latch. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The wearable device of claim 1, further comprising: a screw in the at least one locking member for threading the at least one locking member into an internal side of the at least one guide path, wherein the design members are restricted to within the one or more grooves by an abutment of the screw of the at least one locking member. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The wearable device of claim 1, wherein an individual design member of the design members comprises one or more of: a first portion of the individual design member attached to a second portion of the individual design member; one or more rail supports that extend from the individual design member to engage with at least one portion of the one or more grooves; a digital display; and a body sensor. ### Claim 8 A method for manufacturing a wearable device comprising: machining at least one ornamental member having an opening and a latch associated with the opening; providing one or more grooves in the at least one ornamental member; providing at least one guide path to the one or more grooves to guide design members into or out of the one or more grooves; enabling at least one locking member to lock the design members within the one or more grooves; and locating at least one latching member adjacent to the one or more grooves to receive the latch and to enable releasable locking of the latch. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising: forming a first section and a second section during the machining of the at least one ornamental member; forming first grooves of the one or more grooves in the first section and second grooves of the one or more grooves in the second section; and forming third grooves in the guide path to enable the design members to pass through to one or more of the first grooves and the second grooves. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising: coupling the first section to the second section using a hinge. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising: forming a first traversing pin and a second traversing pin as part of the at least one latching member, wherein the first traversing pin is within the first section and the second traversing pin is within the second section, and wherein the first traversing pin is adapted to receive a locking groove of a first portion of the latch and the second traversing pin is adapted to receive a second locking groove of a second portion of the latch. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising: forming the at least one locking member as part of the latch to enable the releasable locking of the latch by engagement of the at least one locking member with the at least one latching member. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising: machining a screw in the locking pin for threading the locking pin into an internal side of the at least one guide path so that the design members are restricted to within the one or more grooves by an abutment of the locking pin.
