     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
       [0023]    All examples given are for clarification only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. 
         [0024]      FIG. 1  shows a top elevation view of one embodiment of the present invention and  FIG. 2  is one embodiment of the interchangeable key. Even though the drawing shows a heart-shaped exterior and square-shaped chambers in the case of the toy bracelet unit and rectangular-shape in the case of the interchangeable key, the invention may be shaped differently, with triangle-shaped chambers and/or shaped into footballs, baseballs, soccer balls for example. The present invention may be made out of different materials such as metals, woods, plastics, composites, glass, resin for example. The toy bracelet unit comprises of at least one chamber, preferably at least 4, more preferably approximately 20 chambers with a interchangeable key containing corresponding notches to each chamber. All chambers contain an individual tab holder  36  which can store an individual tab that can be personalized by said user.  FIG. 1  referring to chambers  2 ,  4 ,  6  and  8 , remain closed until  FIG. 2  the interchangeable key is put into the key entrance  12  by said user with the corresponding notch(s)  26 ,  28 ,  30  and  32  to reveal each chamber&#39;s individual tabs located inside their individual tab holders  36 . 
         [0025]      FIG. 3  is a perspective view of the toy bracelet unit being interacted with the interchangeable key. While in the interchangeable key entrance  10 , the interchangeable key, which has the notch  26  exposed is turned to interact with the corresponding chamber  2 . The tab contained in the tab holder  36  is revealed to show the user&#39;s various personalization&#39;s, which are not limited in scope. In this example the use of a tab can refer to plural. Each comprised tab per chamber can be personalized by said user in many ways by including names, colors, recorded sounds, illuminations and other unique ways for example. In this view of the present embodiment of the invention, it is the most common state at which it will look once worn on the wrist of said user. 
         [0026]      FIG. 4  shows the initial configuration view of the present embodiment of the interchangeable key. This configuration has the position of the panels  18 ,  20 ,  22  and  24  as they conceal the corresponding notches  26 ,  28 ,  30  and  32  to the chambers  2 ,  4 ,  6  and  8  located on the toy bracelet unit. The initial configuration is the preferred configuration for storage in the interchangeable key holder  12 . 
         [0027]      FIG. 5  shows a schematic view as the panel  18  is pulled open and shifted across in preparation to reveal the notch  26 . This schematic view and method of panel  18  can be referred to panels  20 ,  22  and  24  as this schematic view and method of notch  26  can be referred to notches  28 ,  30  and  32 . 
         [0028]      FIG. 6  shows the schematic view of the panel  18  is pushed inward towards the back of the interchangeable key, which forces out the initially concealed notch  26 . This schematic view and method of panel  18  can be referred to panels  20 ,  22  and  24  as this schematic view and method of notch  26  can be referred to notches  28 ,  30  and  32 . 
         [0029]      FIG. 7  shows the configuration of the interchangeable key as all of the notches  26 ,  28 ,  30  and  32  are revealed in preparation to interact with the corresponding chambers  2 ,  4 ,  6  and  8  on the toy bracelet unit. 
         [0030]      FIG. 8  is the right side view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. This is the side of the toy bracelet unit preferably where the interchangeable key entrance  10  and interchangeable key holder  12  are located. The right side of this preferred embodiment is where all the interactions in the interchangeable key entrance  10  and the storage of the interchangeable key in the interchangeable key holder  12  should be committed. 
         [0031]      FIG. 9  is the left side of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. This side could have the inclusion of the interchangeable key entrance  10  and the interchangeable key holder  12 , but for this preferred embodiment is only placed on the right side. 
         [0032]      FIG. 10  illustrates the positioning of the interchangeable key in preparation towards the destination point into the interchangeable key entrance  10 , which is just above the interchangeable key holder  12  on this present embodiment of the invention. 
         [0033]      FIG. 11  illustrates the actual position of the interchangeable key within the toy bracelet unit, which will enable the user to commit interaction towards revealing the user&#39;s personalized tab within the tab holder  36 . 
         [0034]      FIG. 12  illustrates the positioning of the interchangeable key in preparation towards the destination point into the interchangeable key holder  12 , which is just below the interchangeable key entrance  10  on this present embodiment of the invention. 
         [0035]      FIG. 13  illustrates the actual position of the interchangeable key stored within the toy bracelet unit. This is preferably where the interchangeable key should be stored when not in use by said user. 
         [0036]      FIG. 14  illustrates the detachability of the ornamental main body of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. This particular method will allow the ability for the user to personalize the ornamental main body of the unit with a unique compatible wristband of said user&#39;s choice.
