Ring Keeper System and Method

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a system and method for supporting jewelry, such as a ring, in a secure place. In one arrangement, a system may include a metal perimeter forming an accepting space, a loop secured to a top portion of the metal perimeter, a beveled surface on an upper surface of a bottom portion of the metal perimeter, and a lockable opening on the metal perimeter. At least a portion of the metal perimeter may be able to pass through the ring interior such that a necklace may be passed through the loop, a portion of a ring perimeter may be passed through the lockable opening when the lockable opening is open, the ring may be placed on the beveled surface, and the lockable opening may be closed in order to keep the ring secured within the accepting space.

1 . A system that may be hung from a necklace and that may support and secure a ring, the ring having a ring perimeter that forms a ring interior, the system comprising:
 a metal perimeter forming an accepting space, at least a portion of the metal perimeter being able to pass through the ring interior;   a loop secured to a top portion of the metal perimeter;   a beveled surface on an upper surface of a bottom portion of the metal perimeter; and   a lockable opening on the metal perimeter;   whereby the necklace may be passed through the loop, a portion of the ring perimeter may be passed through the lockable opening when the lockable opening is open, the ring may be placed on the beveled surface, and the lockable opening may be closed in order to keep the ring secured within the accepting space.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the accepting space is heart-shaped. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the accepting space is circle-shaped. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the accepting space is ribbon-shaped. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the lockable opening includes a hinge and an imbedded spring. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the lockable opening includes a movable portion of the metal perimeter. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the lockable opening includes a plurality of mating surfaces. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the lockable opening includes a hook and a socket. 
     
     
         9 . A method for supporting and securing a ring from a necklace, the ring having a ring perimeter that forms a ring interior, the method comprising the steps of:
 passing the necklace through a loop, the loop secured to a top portion of a metal perimeter;   passing a portion of the ring perimeter through a lockable opening when the lockable opening is open;   placing the ring on a beveled surface, the beveled surface being on an upper surface of a bottom portion of the metal perimeter; and   closing the lockable opening in order to keep the ring secured within an accepting space, the accepting space being formed from the metal perimeter.   
     
     
         10 . A system that may be hung from a necklace and that may support and secure a ring, the ring having a ring perimeter that forms a ring interior, the system comprising:
 a metal perimeter forming an accepting space, at least a portion of the metal perimeter being able to pass through the ring interior;   a means for securing a loop to a top portion of the metal perimeter;   a beveled surface on an upper surface of a bottom portion of the metal perimeter; and   a means for lockably opening the metal perimeter;   whereby the necklace may be passed through the loop, a portion of the ring perimeter may be passed through the metal perimeter, the ring may be placed on the beveled surface, and metal perimeter may be closed in order to keep the ring secured within the accepting space.
