Abstract
A costume jewelry circlet, such as a bracelet, necklace or belt, is formed of an inner, string-like core having its opposite ends connected together, upon which is positioned a tubular sleeve which extends around and covers substantially the full length of the core. The sleeve is interchangeable with other sleeves which are formed either with different surface textures or colors or cross-sectional shapes. Thus, the wearer of the costume jewelry may substitute one sleeve for another, as desired, within the discretion of the wearer, to produce different visual effects due to the varying textures, colors or shapes of the interchangeable sleeves.

A costume jewelry circlet kit, comprising in combination:
- a core formed of a length of non-extensible material having opposite ends;
- a first removable elongated, thin wall, tubular sleeve having a first predetermined physical characteristic and having a continuous axial opening through which said core is inserted so that the first sleeve encircles and substantially completely covers the core along the length of the core;
- a second removable elongated, thin wall, tubular sleeve having a second predetermined physical characteristic and having a continuous axial opening capable of insertably receiving the core therein so that the second sleeve encircles and substantially completely covers the core along the length of the core;
- and
- fastening means for disengagably connecting the opposite ends of said core to form a loosely fitting circlet having a first appearance associated with the physical characteristic of the first sleeve, said fastening means being adapted to permit removal of the core from the first sleeve, whereby the core may be inserted into the second sleeve to selectively give said circlet a second appearance associated with the physical characteristic of the second sleeve.
