Patent ID: 8794032

Claim:
A jewelry set, comprising: a first jewelry item having a first band of a predetermined diameter for encircling a chosen part of a wearer's body; and a second jewelry item in the form of a first hoop earring having a first pivotable ear mounting post extending between ends of a first decorative hoop portion, the first hoop earring having a shape such that it can encircle the same chosen part of the wearer's body as the first band and being of substantially the same diameter as the first band, the first ear mounting post being of a smaller thickness than the immediately adjacent portions of the first decorative hoop portion; the first jewelry item having a connector for accepting and supporting the first ear mounting post whereby the first hoop earring is maintained generally concentric with the first band such that the first jewelry item can be worn on the wearer's body with both the first band and the first hoop earring encircling the chosen part, the connector comprising a base with a first slot dimensioned for receipt and frictional retention of the first ear mounting post with the length of the base and the first slot extending substantially the length of the first ear mounting post whereby the immediately adjacent portions of the first decorative hoop portion closely abut ends of the base with the first ear mounting post inserted into the first slot, the first hoop earring being supported by the connector in a manner that substantially prevents any movement of the first hoop earring with respect to the first jewelry item.
