Patent ID: 8707731

Claim:
A wearable storage device for securing a jewelry ring having a band defining an inner diameter, comprising: a chain; and a pendant consisting essentially of an elongated member having a first end and a second end, the elongated member curved in a plane such that portions of the member are laterally opposite each other, each laterally opposite portion having an inward-facing side and an outward-facing side, the pendant having a vertical dimension with a top portion and a bottom portion, a front side, a back side and a lateral profile formed by the elongated member, wherein the chain is attached to the top portion of the pendant at both the first end and the second end of the elongated member, wherein a lateral distance between the outward-facing sides of the laterally opposite portions of the elongated member at the top portion of the pendant is narrower than a lateral distance between the outward-facing sides of the laterally opposite portions of the elongated member at a vertical level below the top portion, whereby the pendant is able to retain the jewelry ring such that the band encircles the laterally opposite portions of the elongated member at the top portion of the pendant but the inner diameter of the band is smaller than the lateral distance between the outward-facing sides of the laterally opposite portions of the elongated member at the lower vertical level, and wherein the back side of the pendant has a concavity sized and configured to permit the jewelry ring to rest at least substantially parallel to the plane when the jewelry ring encircles the laterally opposite portions of the elongated member.
