Abstract
Decorative object, particularly jewelry such as a ring, comprises an annular body (11) on which is slidably mounted a movable member (12) having the shape of a sleeve (20). Slideways (19) are provided in a hollow annular space (18) of the annular body (11) and coact with shoes (24) secured to the sleeve (20). Thus, this latter does not touch the visible external surface (14) of the annular body (11). The invention thus permits keeping the annular body free from scratches, obtaining a regular and facilitated sliding movement, and hiding the guiding and sliding elements.

A decorative object, comprising an annular body (11) and at least one movable member (12) mounted slidably on this annular body (11),
- wherein the annular body (11) comprises a visible external portion (14), a second portion (17) directed toward a support on which the object can be disposed and at least one slideway (19),
- wherein the movable member comprises a portion (20) at least partially surrounding the annular body (11) and at least one shoe (24) secured to said portion (20) and adapted to coact with the at least one slideway (19) such that an internal surface (25) of said portion (20) does not touch the visible external portion (14) of the annular body (11), and
- wherein said portion (20) is secured to a soft resilient member (60) disposed between the internal surface (25) of said portion and the visible external portion of the annular body.
