US Patent 7454924 Configurable jewelry and jewelry configuration system

A jewelry article is assembled with prefabricated precision components suitable for mass production. The components include bounding elements, fasteners, and spacers. The bounding elements include fastener apertures and channels for receiving portions of adornments. The fasteners secure the adornments in the channels between the bounding elements. From the available selection of bounding elements, fasteners, spaces, and other configuration options, an enormous variety of custom jewelry may be assembled. Accordingly, the consumer may obtain a unique piece of jewelry without the cost, expense, and time normally associated with custom jewelry creation.
