Ornamental ring

Abstract

An ornamental ring for being worn on an appendage of a person includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface joins the outer surface and is threaded to facilitate insertion onto and removal from an appendage of a person.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An ornamental ring for being worn on an appendage of a person, the ring comprising: 
 an outer surface; and    an inner surface joining the outer surface, wherein the inner surface is threaded to facilitate insertion onto and removal from an appendage of a person.    
     
     
         2 . The ring of  claim 1 , wherein the outer surface is generally cylindrical.  
     
     
         3 . The ring of  claim 1 , wherein the outer surface includes at least one of a precious stone, a semi-precious stone and an artificial stone set in a channel formed in the outer surface.  
     
     
         4 . The ring of  claim 1 , further including: 
 an external setting retaining at least one of a precious stone, a semi-precious stone and an artificial stone, wherein the external setting is attached to the outer surface.    
     
     
         5 . The ring of  claim 4 , wherein the external setting is integrally formed with the outer surface.  
     
     
         6 . The ring of  claim 4 , wherein the outer surface includes at least one of another precious stone, another semi-precious stone and another artificial stone set in a channel formed in the outer surface.  
     
     
         7 . The ring of  claim 1 , wherein an intersection of the inner surface and the outer surface is beveled.  
     
     
         8 . An ornamental ring for being worn on an appendage of a person, the ring comprising: 
 an outer surface; and    an inner surface joining the outer surface, wherein the inner surface is threaded to facilitate insertion onto and removal from an appendage of a person, and wherein an intersection of the inner surface and the outer surface is beveled.    
     
     
         9 . The ring of  claim 8 , wherein the outer surface is generally cylindrical.  
     
     
         10 . The ring of  claim 8 , wherein the outer surface includes at least one of a precious stone, a semi-precious stone and an artificial stone set in a channel formed in the outer surface.  
     
     
         11 . The ring of  claim 8 , further including: 
 an external setting retaining at least one of a precious stone, a semi-precious stone and an artificial stone, wherein the external setting is attached to the outer surface.    
     
     
         12 . The ring of  claim 11 , wherein the external setting is integrally formed with the outer surface.  
     
     
         13 . The ring of  claim 11 , wherein the outer surface includes at least one of another precious stone, another semi-precious stone and another artificial stone set in a channel formed in the outer surface.  
     
     
         14 . A method for constructing an ornamental ring for being worn on an appendage of a person, the method comprising the steps of: 
 providing an outer ring surface; and    providing an inner ring surface joining the outer ring surface, wherein the inner ring surface is threaded to facilitate insertion onto and removal from an appendage of a person.    
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the outer ring surface is generally cylindrical.  
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the outer ring surface includes at least one of a precious stone, a semi-precious stone and an artificial stone set in a channel formed in the outer ring surface.  
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14 , further including the step of: 
 providing an external setting retaining at least one of a precious stone, a semi-precious stone and an artificial stone, wherein the external setting is attached to the outer ring surface.    
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the external setting is integrally formed with the outer ring surface.  
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the outer ring surface includes at least one of another precious stone, another semi-precious stone and another artificial stone set in a channel formed in the outer ring surface.  
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein an intersection of the inner ring surface and the outer ring surface is beveled.
