Patent ID: 8113013

Claim:
A jewelry article comprising: an elongated member having two ends, a first intermediate magnet attached to said elongated member between the said two ends, said first intermediate magnet including a magnetic axis extending from the positive pole to the negative pole of said first intermediate magnet, a central axis extending substantially perpendicular to the magnetic axis and a channel extending through and centered along the central axis of said first intermediate magnet, wherein the elongated member extends through the channel to rotationally support said first intermediate magnet between the ends of the elongated member; a plurality of ornaments wherein each ornament includes a terminal magnet having a magnetic axis extending from the positive pole to the negative pole of the terminal magnet, a central axis extending substantially parallel to the magnetic axis, a channel extending through and centered along the central axis of said terminal magnet, and an ornamentation having a second elongated member extending through the channel securing the ornamentation to said terminal magnet; and, wherein a user can selectively remove and replace the ornaments onto said first intermediate magnet and wherein said intermediate magnet can rotate on said central axis from the magnetic torque placed upon it from the terminal magnet in order to magnetically couple one of the ornaments with the terminal magnet to the first intermediate magnet.
