Claim 32:
33. A jewelry assemblage, comprising:
a plurality of discrete jewelry components and a plurality of couplers enabling releasable interconnection of said jewelry components to each other in desired combinations and arrangements; each said coupler comprising:
a male coupling and female coupling, each of which has a cross-sectional shape measuring less than 6 millimeters and each of which is attached to respective jewelry components;
the male coupling is configured to be inserted into an opening in the female coupling to secure a connection, the connection beginning as the male coupling engages a snap connector located in an interior of the female coupling, so constructed that the snap connector moves to accommodate the male coupling, and upon being fully inserted, the snap connector resumes an original position locking within a gap formed in the male coupling and creating a secured, mechanically interlocked connection;
an actuating member inside the female coupling that extends to a point on an exterior of said female coupling, that can be manipulated via an external force applied to the actuating member by a release tool to release the connection; and
wherein the male coupling comprises a pair of fingers, each with a respective distal end, in which distal ends are oriented toward each other, with the gap therebetween, said distal ends being configured to move past the snap connector and to become locked inside the female coupling.
