Abstract
A piece of jewelry has an outer part and an inner part movably received in the interior of the outer part so as to allow a relative movement between the inner part and the outer part in a direction of movement. The outer part surrounding the inner part has at least one opening through which at least one sub-region of the surface of the inner part is visible. The inner part can be fixed in a first index position, in which a first sub-region of the inner part is visible through the opening, and in at least one second index exposition, in which a second sub-region of the inner part is visible through the opening, relative to the outer part. The outer part has at least one magnet element, and the inner part has at least one complementary magnet element.
Claims15
A piece of jewelry, comprising:
- an outer part;
- and
- an inner part which is movably received in the interior of the outer part;
- wherein the outer part comprises a rotational bearing having at least one bearing element for the inner part;
- wherein the inner part is mounted rotationally in the outer part, where a relative movement between the inner part and the outer part running in a direction of movement is facilitated;
- wherein the outer part surrounding the inner part comprises at least one opening through which at least a partial area of the surface of the inner part is visible;
- wherein the inner part can be fixed in a first index position, in which a first partial area of the inner part is visible through the opening and in at least one second index position, in which a second partial area of the inner part is visible through said opening, relatively to the outer part;
- wherein the inner part is mounted in such a way in the outer part and/or the one or at least one of the openings is dimensioned in such a way that the inner part at least partially protrudes from the at least one opening or can at least be impacted by the wearer of the piece of jewelry through it, so that the afore-mentioned relative movement of the inner part received in the outer part around said at least one bearing element can be effected;
- wherein said relative movement between the inner part and the outer part the inner part can be moved at least from said first index position, in which said first area of the inner part is visible through the opening, to said second index position, in which said second partial area of the inner part is visible through said opening,
- wherein the outer part comprises at least one magnet element and the inner part comprises at least one complementary magnet element;
- wherein the magnet element or the magnet elements of the outer part are arranged in it in a defined position, wherein the magnet element or at least one magnet element of the inner part is provided in or on the inner part in such a way that the magnet element or at least one magnet element can be moved by a relative movement of the inner part towards at least one magnet element of the outer part and through a further relative movement away from it, so that in a first index position and at least in the second index position at least one magnet element of the outer part is in magnetic engagement with at least one magnet element of the inner part.
