US 2009/0151395 A1 · INTERCHANGEABLE RING SYSTEM JEWELRY

Abstract

An interchangeable ring system jewelry (20) consisting of a custom ring assembly (18) which can be assembled according to the user's desire, manually or by using specific tools (28L, 28R). The custom ring assembly (18) is comprised of an elongated flanged ring shank (22), an inner threaded nut-like interlocking ring (26), and an interchangeable inner ring (24). The flanged ring (22) in its preferred configuration is comprised of a fixed flange ring (36), fixed to one of its ends, and an external thread (32) on the other end. The inner ring (24) is slid onto the flanged ring shank (22), up to the fixed flange ring (36). The interlocking ring (26) interlocks to the flanged ring shank (22), screwed to its threaded end using specific tools (28L, 28R) or manually. In this way, the inner ring (24) is delimited between the interlocking ring (26) and the fixed flange ring (36) of the flanged ring shank, creating ready-to-wear custom ring jewelry.

Dependent claims

An interchangeable ring system jewelry comprising of a ring assembly comprising of

an interchangeable inner ring, having predetermined inner diameter,
a flanged ring shank, with sufficient inner diameter that defines a finger receiving opening, built as
an elongated cylinder-like shank, having outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of said inner ring, and
a fixed flange ring, fixed to first of two ends of said elongated shank, having outer diameter bigger than the inner diameter of said inner ring,
an interlocking ring, having outer diameter bigger than the inner diameter of said inner ring,
an interlocking means for temporarily interlocking said interlocking ring with the second end of said elongated shank,
said inner ring slides onto said elongated shank, said interlocking ring interlocks with the second end of said shank, thus delimiting said inner ring between said fixed flange ring and said interlocking ring, on top of said elongated shank,
whereby a wearer can easily and seamlessly assemble a personal customized ring by operating said interlocking means, thus easily interchanging said inner ring according to personal desire.
