The invention relates to a jewelry item including several spherical or near-spherical elements (hereinafter spherical elements) in which each spherical element (1) includes at least one bore (2) and is connected to at least one adjacent spherical element (1). The assembly of two adjacent spherical elements (1) is carried out using a rod (3) inserted on either side into the corresponding bore (2) of each spherical element (1). A plurality of spherical elements (1) each include at least two bores (2), wherein the axis of each bore (2) extends radially relative to the centre of the spherical element (1). The spatial positioning of adjacent spherical elements (1) on either side of a common spherical element (1) is achieved by the angular orientation in space of the bores (2) relative to each other. The assembly of each adjacent spherical element (1) to the common spherical element (1) is achieved by inserting or screwing each rod (3) on either side into the corresponding bores (2). Each adjacent spherical element (1) can be a spherical element (1) that is common to one or more other adjacent spherical elements (1). The assembly of all spherical elements (1) gives a jewelry item having a desired shape.
A jewelry item having a number of spherical or almost spherical elements (1) (hereinafter spherical elements), where each spherical element (1) has at least one bore (2), the cross section of which remains constant along its longitudinal axis, and is arranged secured to at least one adjacent spherical element (1), two adjacent spherical elements (1) being joined together by means of a rod (3, inserted on either side into the corresponding bore (2) of each spherical element (1) and of which the ends intended to be arranged in the corresponding bore (2) have a constant cross section along the longitudinal axis of the rod (3), characterized in that a number of spherical elements (1) each have at least two blind bores (2), at least two blind bores (2) of at least one spherical element (1) having one of the ends of a corresponding rod (3) driven into or adhesively bonded to them, the longitudinal axis of each bore (2) being oriented radially with respect to the center of the spherical element (1), the adjacent spherical elements (1) being spatially positioned on either side of a common spherical element (1) by the mutual angular spatial orientation of the bores (2), each adjacent spherical element (1) being joined to a common spherical element (1) by driving or adhesively bonding each rod (3) on either side into the corresponding bores (2), it being possible for each adjacent spherical element (1) which has at least two blind bores (2) to constitute a common spherical element (1) for one or more other adjacent spherical elements (1), the joining of all the spherical elements (1) giving a jewelry item of a desired form.
