## Abstract

A multi-use jewelry device is disclosed that provides users with versatile jewelry, including rings, pendants, bracelets, earrings, etc. The multi-use jewelry device comprises at least two finger rings and at least one jump ring that links the at least two finger rings together in series. The multi-use jewelry device can be folded up into a single overall ring configuration. A user would fold the finger rings upon each other, to form a stack. The multi-use jewelry device can then be unfolded for use as a pendant, a bracelet, or an earring. For example, once the finger rings are unfolded to form a strand, a necklace chain can be removably secured to at least one finger ring to form a pendant. Further, multiple strands can be connected together to form a bracelet. Additionally, an ear hook clasp can be removably secured to one of the finger rings to form an earring.
