First and second end portions define a clearance sized to receive the wrist when the main body is donned by the user. A circumferential groove is formed in the main body. A hair band is adapted to be selectively disposed within the groove and to span the clearance at a height above the inner surface. The main body is arranged to substantially hold the hair band in place when the hair band is disposed in the groove. The hair band has an elasticity and the main body has a rigidity arranged to resist the elasticity of the hair band and to distribute pressure from the hair band away from the wrist. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A versatile jewelry comprising: a semi-rigid or rigid main body arranged to extend over a wrist of a user, the main body defining an inner surface arranged to be worn against the wrist, an outer surface opposite the inner surface, first and second end portions defining a clearance therebetween sized to receive the wrist when the main body is donned by the user, and a circumferential groove formed in the main body; and a hair band adapted to be selectively disposed within the groove and to span the clearance at a height above the inner surface, and the main body being arranged to substantially hold the hair band in place when the hair band is disposed in the groove, the hair band having an elasticity, and the main body having a rigidity arranged to resist the elasticity of the hair band without deformation of the main body and to distribute pressure from the hair band away from the wrist. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The versatile jewelry of claim 1, wherein the main body suspends the hair band at a height above the inner surface of the main body across the clearance. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The versatile jewelry of claim 1, wherein the main body is formed of a metal material. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The versatile jewelry of claim 1, wherein the main body is formed of a plastic material. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The versatile jewelry of claim 1, wherein the groove has a varying depth along a length of the groove. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The versatile jewelry of claim 1, wherein the groove has a rectangular cross sectional shape. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The versatile jewelry of claim 1, wherein the groove defines sidewalls having a planar configuration. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The versatile jewelry of claim 7, wherein the sidewalls are parallel to one another. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The versatile jewelry of claim 1, wherein the groove extends through the first and second end portions. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The versatile jewelry of claim 1, wherein the main body includes first and second protruding portions extending over the groove and a gap defined between the first and second protruding portions. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The versatile jewelry of claim 10, wherein the gap is configured and dimensioned to allow the hair band to pass therethrough. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The versatile jewelry of claim 1, wherein the main body defines a semi-elliptical profile. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The versatile jewelry of claim 1, wherein the main body defines a semi-circular profile. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The versatile jewelry of claim 1, wherein the outer surface is parallel to the inner surface. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The versatile jewelry of claim 1, wherein the first and second end portions define a planar surface. ### Claim 16 A versatile jewelry comprising: a semi-rigid or rigid main body formed of a metal material and arranged to extend over a wrist of a user, the main body defining an inner surface arranged to be worn against the wrist, an outer surface opposite the inner surface, first and second end portions defining a clearance therebetween sized to receive the wrist when the main body is donned by the user, and a circumferential groove formed in the main body having a pair of sidewalls and extending through the first and second end portions; and at least one hair band adapted to be selectively disposed within the groove and to span the clearance at a height above the inner surface, and the main body being arranged to substantially hold the at least one hair band in place when the at least one hair band is disposed in the groove, the at least one hair band having an elasticity, and the main body having a rigidity arranged to resist the elasticity of the at least one hair band and to distribute pressure from the at least one hair band away from the wrist. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The versatile jewelry of claim 16, wherein the main body suspends the at least one hair band at a height above the inner surface of the main body across the clearance. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The versatile jewelry of claim 16, wherein the rigidity of the main body is arranged to maintain a shape of the main body under the force of the at least one hair band in the groove. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The versatile jewelry of claim 16, wherein the groove defines sidewalls having a planar configuration. ### Claim 20 A versatile jewelry comprising: a semi-rigid or rigid main body arranged to extend over a wrist of a user, the main body defining an inner surface arranged to be worn against the wrist, an outer surface opposite the inner surface, first and second end portions defining a clearance therebetween sized to receive the wrist when the main body is donned by the user, and a circumferential groove formed in the main body; and a hair band adapted to be selectively disposed within the groove and to span the clearance at a height above the inner surface, and the main body being arranged to substantially hold the hair band in place when the hair band is disposed in the groove, the hair band having an elasticity, and the main body having a rigidity arranged to resist the elasticity of the hair band and to distribute pressure from the hair band away from the wrist.
