Abstract
An apparatus for removably yet stably retaining and attractively suspending an article used for playing a musical instrument is disclosed. The apparatus, which can double as a jewelry system, includes a spring-loaded clip having two opposing arms, one of which includes a stabilizing projection. The clip removably retains a pick and a pick sleeve encasing the pick. Both the pick and pick sleeve have slots through their planar surfaces which receive the stabilizing projection of the clip arm when the encased pick is retained by the clip. The apparatus also includes a flexible loop element connected to the clip which loops upon itself and allow the clip and encased pick to be suspended from any structure encircled by the looped element.
