Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide apparatuses for positioning a piece of jewelry and methods of making said apparatuses. The jewelry may include a necklace, bracelet, and/or anklet. The apparatus may be placed over the clasp of a piece of jewelry and then be attached to the skin of the individual wearing the necklace. In this way, the apparatus prevents the movement of the clasp of the piece of jewelry from a desirable location to an undesirable location, where the clasp may detract from the beauty of the piece of jewelry. Further, the apparatus may come in many shapes, sizes, colors, etc., such that the device may provide for a stylish accessory for the individual wearing the device.
Claims9
An apparatus for preventing movement of jewelry when on a user, the apparatus comprising:
- an attachment layer, wherein the attachment layer comprises an adhesive for attaching the apparatus to skin of the user;
- a protective layer, wherein the protective layer comprises a protective pad such that a clasp of the jewelry rest upon the protective pad and is protected from the attachment layer;
- a material layer, wherein the material layer comprises a material, wherein the material provides structural integrity to the apparatus such that the apparatus maintains a form with respect to the user's skin;
- a fabric layer, wherein the fabric layer comprises a fabric such that the fabric may provide additional structural integrity to the apparatus;
- a decorative layer, wherein the decorative layer comprises decorative elements;
- and
- an arrangement of layers, wherein the layers are arranged such that the protective layer is located closest to the skin of the user, wherein the attachment layer is located on the protective layer, such that the attachment layer adheres the protective layer to the apparatus, such that at least a portion of the attachment layer is exposed to the skin of the user, wherein the material layer is positioned upon the attachment layer, wherein the fabric layer is positioned upon the material layer, wherein the decorative layer is positioned upon the fabric layer, and wherein one or more layers may function as one or more different layers.
A method of manufacturing an apparatus for preventing the movement of jewelry on skin of a user, the method comprising:
- providing an attachment layer, wherein the attachment layer comprises an adhesive for attaching the apparatus to the skin of the user;
- providing a protective layer comprising a protective pad such that a clasp of the jewelry is positioned within the protective pad and is protected from the adhesive layer;
- providing a material layer, the material comprising a plastic for providing structural integrity to the apparatus such that the apparatus maintains form in connection with the skin of the user;
- providing a fabric layer, comprising silicone that provides structural integrity to the apparatus;
- providing a decorative layer, wherein the decorative layer comprises decorative elements;
- and
- arranging layers, wherein the layers are arranged such that the protective layer is located in contact with the skin of the user, the attachment layer positioned upon the protective layer, the material layer positioned upon the attachment layer, the fabric layer positioned upon the material layer, and the decorative layer positioned upon the fabric layer such that the decorative layer is visible upon use of the apparatus, and wherein one or more layers may function as one or more different layers.
