Interchangeable jewelry segments

Abstract

Systems and methods include a first interchangeable segment having first and second ends separated by a first length. The first interchangeable segment may include a first connector at the first end and a second connector at the second end. A second interchangeable segment may have third and fourth ends separated by a second length. The second interchangeable segment may include a third connector at the third end and a fourth connector at the fourth end. The first and second interchangeable segments may connect to at least partially encircle a user.

         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first connector includes at least one of a magnet, a clasp, a hook-and-eye fastener, a snap, ferrite, a button, a screw, Velcro®, a bolt, a twist tie, a cable tie, a hook-and-loop fastener, a nail, interlocking joints, a twisting cap, male and female end fasteners, string, tape, and a multi-pronged fastener. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first connector includes at least two of: a magnet, a clasp, a hook-and-eye fastener, a snap, ferrite, a button, a screw, Velcro®, a bolt, a twist tie, a cable tie, a hook-and-loop fastener, a sleeve, a nail, interlocking joints, a twisting cap, male and female end fasteners, string, tape, and a multi-pronged fastener. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first interchangeable segment includes at least one of silicone, cloth, rubber, wood, metal, ferrite, stone, crystal, leather, and plastic. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the connector is at least one of adhered to the first interchangeable segment and secured to the first interchangeable segment during a molding process. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the connector is encapsulated within the first interchangeable segment. 
     
     
         12 . An apparatus, comprising:
 an interchangeable segment having first and second ends separated by a first length;   a first connector attached at the first end; and   a second connector at the second end, wherein the first and second connectors attach to at least partially encircle a user.   
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the first and second connectors attach indirectly via another interchangeable segment. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the interchangeable segment includes a third connector configured to attach to the first connector. 
     
     
         15 . A method of providing jewelry, the method comprising:
 providing a first interchangeable segment having first and second ends separated by a first length, wherein the first interchangeable segment includes a first connector at the first end and a second connector at the second end; and   providing a second interchangeable segment having third and fourth ends separated by a second length, wherein the second interchangeable segment includes a third connector at the third end and a fourth connector at the fourth end, wherein the first and second interchangeable segments connect to at least partially encircle a user.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising different design features in the first interchangeable segment and the second interchangeable segment. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising providing a third interchangeable segment, wherein the first interchangeable segment connects to the second interchangeable segment via third interchangeable segment. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising including a timepiece in at least one of the first interchangeable segment and the third interchangeable segment. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising including a timepiece in at least one of the first interchangeable segment and the second interchangeable segment. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising including a fifth connector to in the first interchangeable segment, wherein the fifth connector is configured to attach to at least one of the first and the second connectors.
