Magnetic jewelry connectors for forming a jewelry piece

Abstract

An interchangeable jewelry system forms a plethora of jewelry pieces. The interchangeable jewelry system comprises at least two jewelry strand sections, each of which has a central body located centrally between two end walls, and said end walls comprise oppositely attracting mating magnetic portions placed opposed to one another on said central body. The jewelry strand sections are adapted to be interchangeably connected together through said mating magnetic portions to form a jewelry piece. Jewelry strand sections may be formed as strands for making bracelets and/necklaces, as posts with a magnetic top for forming earrings, and/or a ring portion with a magnetic ring top for forming a ring.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An interchangeable jewelry system comprising:
 a. at least two jewelry strand sections;   b. each of said jewelry strand sections having a central body located centrally between two end walls;   c. said end walls comprising oppositely attracting mating magnetic portions placed opposed to one another on said central body;
 wherein said jewelry strand sections are adapted to be interchangeably connected together through said mating magnetic portions to form a jewelry piece. 
   
     
     
         2 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said jewelry strand sections are formed as elongated strands adapted to be mounted together to form said jewelry piece. 
     
     
         3 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said elongated strands each have a length ranging from about 0.5 inches to about 6 inches. 
     
     
         4 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said elongated strands each have a length ranging from about 3 inches to about 4 inches. 
     
     
         5 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1  comprising at least one ornamental add-on section. 
     
     
         6 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 5 , wherein said ornamental add-on section comprises a ornamental connector section having a central body located between two end walls comprising oppositely attracting mating magnetic portion placed opposed to one another on said central body, and a pendant located on said central body of said ornamental connector section. 
     
     
         7 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1  comprising at least one ornamental add-on charm. 
     
     
         8 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 7 , wherein said charm comprises a main body with a back side and a front side, wherein said back side has a loop adapted to receive said jewelry connector section therein to traverse along said jewelry connector section, and wherein said front side has a mating magnetic surface to receive a decorative jewelry portion having a mating magnetic surface. 
     
     
         9 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1  comprising earring connector members. 
     
     
         10 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 9 , wherein said earrings comprise a first portion with a post and a magnetic surface and a second portion comprising a decorative jewelry portion having a show surface and a mating magnetic back surface that magnetically mates with said magnetic surface of said first portion to form an earring jewelry piece. 
     
     
         11 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 9 , wherein said earrings comprise a first portion with a hook portion and a magnetic surface and a second portion comprising a decorative jewelry portion having a show surface and a mating magnetic back surface that magnetically mates with said magnetic surface of said first portion to form an earring jewelry piece. 
     
     
         12 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1  comprising ring connector members. 
     
     
         13 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 12 , wherein said ring connector members comprise a first portion with a ring portion adapted to receive a finger, and a ring top having a magnetic surface adapted to magnetically mate with a decorative jewelry portion having a show surface and a mating magnetic back surface that magnetically mates with said magnetic surface of ring top to form a ring jewelry piece. 
     
     
         14 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said mating magnetic portions comprise a ball and cup mating configuration. 
     
     
         15 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said mating magnetic portions comprise disk like plates. 
     
     
         16 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said mating magnetic portions further comprise a clasp or hook. 
     
     
         17 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said jewelry strand sections comprise a first portion with a post and a magnetic surface. 
     
     
         18 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said jewelry strand sections comprise a first portion with a ring portion adapted to receive a finger and a ring top having a magnetic surface. 
     
     
         19 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said mating magnetic portions comprise dome structures with substantially flat disk shaped magnetic surfaces that engage with one another.
