     DETAILED DESCRIPTION  
       [0024]    The preferred embodiment of the invention is a jewelry scroll holder  1 , as shown in FIGS. 1, 2,  3  and  4 . The jewelry scroll holder  1  can be made out of a variety of materials such as metal, plastic, wood or glass.  
         [0025]    As shown in FIG. 1, the jewelry scroll holder  1  has several key components; the cap  10 , the body  20 , the pole  30 , the slot  40  and the scroll  50 . The body  20  has material removed or molded to produce a cavity. This cavity is called a scroll chamber  22 . In the preferred embodiment, the scroll chamber  22  is cylinder in shape. This cylinder shape is the most optimum in which to fit the scroll  50  as there are no edges for the scroll  50  to catch on. One end of the scroll chamber  22  is open forming the scroll chamber opening  24 , the opposite end of the scroll chamber  22  is closed forming the scroll chamber bottom  26 . The scroll chamber opening  24  has scroll opening threads  28  which are at that edge of the scroll chamber  22  inside the body  20 .  
         [0026]    The cap  10  has the same radius as the body  20 . The cap  10  has a top side  12  and a bottom side  14 . The bottom side  14  has threads  1   8  that match the thread size of the scroll opening threads  28 .  
         [0027]    The pole  30  is connected to the cap  10  through a connecting means such as welding or being molded or carved as one piece. Industry standard connecting means can be used. The pole  30  is perpendicular to the cap  10  with a length less than the length of the scroll chamber  22 . The slot  40  is an opening in the pole  30 . It is made by removing material from pole  30  through a milling process or being formed when the pole  30  is molded or made. The slot  40  runs parallel to the pole  30  and its length is approximately 80% that of the pole  30  with a width of about 50% that of the pole  30 . Although any width will work, the slot  40  should never be large enough to cause structure integrity problems for the pole  30  nor so thin that the scroll can not fit through it. The pole  30  can be of any length limited only by the length of the scroll chamber  22 .  
         [0028]    The scroll  50  can be of varying lengths and widths, but the width cannot exceed a width that is slightly less than the length of the slot  40  and the length of the scroll cannot exceed a length that when the scroll is rolled around the pole  30  the circumference is more than the circumference of the scroll chamber  22 . The scroll can be made out of a variety of materials such as paper.  
         [0029]    [0029]FIG. 2 shows how the scroll  50  is threaded through the slot  40 . The scroll  50  is folded in half around the slot  40  and it is rolled around the slot  40 . The slot  40  holds the scroll  50  in place as well as providing a means for the scroll  50  to be removed from the scroll chamber  22 .  
         [0030]    [0030]FIG. 3 displays how the cap  10  is attached to the body  20 . The slot  40  with the scroll  50  rolled around it fits into the scroll chamber  22 . The cap threads  1   8  turns on the scroll chamber threads  28  clockwise to tighten and close on the body  20 . The turning of the cap  10  counter-clockwise will loosen the cap  10  allowing for its removal and access to the scroll  50 .  
         [0031]    [0031]FIG. 4 shows an alternative method of threading the cap threads  18  and the scroll chamber threads  28 . The cap  10  has a cap lip  16 . The cap lip  16  is perpendicular to the cap bottom  1   2  with the cap threads  18  on the inside of the cap lip  16  . The scroll chamber threads  28  are located on the outside wall of the body  20 . As in the previous method, the cap  10  is attached to the body  20  by turning the cap threads  18  on the scroll chamber threads  28 , clockwise to attach and counter-clockwise to separate. The jewelry scroll holder  1  can be used in many different types and designs of jewelry.  
         [0032]    [0032]FIG. 5 shows the jewelry scroll holder  1  being used as a pendant  110 . The pendant  110  is attached to a necklace  115  which has a clasp  120  which connects the two ends of the necklace  115 . The pendant  110  is attached through an attachment means such as a top loop  125  on the top  10  of the jewelry scroll holder  1 . The top loop  125  is a semi-circle of material connected to the top  10  thru a connecting means such as welding or glue or being part of the same molding. The necklace  115  can be a string of pearls, a gold or silver chain or leather strap or any type of necklace.  
         [0033]    [0033]FIG. 6 displays the jewelry scroll holder  1  as a pendant with a body loop  130  on the side of the body  20  being used as the attaching means. The body loop  130  is a semi-circle of material connected to the scroll chamber bottom  26  thru a connecting means such as welding or glue or being part of the same molding.  
         [0034]    [0034]FIG. 7 displays the jewelry scroll holder  1  being attached to a keychain  135  using both the top loop  125  and the body loop  130 . The loops are connect to the keychain  135 .
