Magnetic Jewelry Connectors For Forming A Jewelry Piece

Abstract

An interchangeable jewelry system forms a bracelet, necklace, earring, and/or ring jewelry piece. The interchangeable jewelry system comprises at least two jewelry strand sections, each having a central body located centrally between two end walls comprising oppositely attracting mating magnetic portions placed opposed to one another on the central body. The mating magnetic portions comprise a first portion having a depressed magnetic female rim extending to form a magnetic female cavity section and mating raised magnetic male rim extending to form a magnetic male raised section. The depressed magnetic female rim aligns with and receives the raised magnetic male rim to guide and seat the first and second magnetic portions together. Jewelry strand sections are interchangeably connected through the mating portions to form a jewelry piece. The mating magnetic portions securely connect the jewelry strand sections to prevent loss, while being operative to readily disconnect when subjected to pulling force, increasing safety and mitigating injury to the wearer.

         4 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1  comprising at least one ornamental add-on charm, 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. 
     
     
         5 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1  comprising earring connector members. 
     
     
         6 . 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. 
     
     
         7 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1  comprising ring connector members. 
     
     
         8 . 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. 
     
     
         9 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said depressed rim is a negative magnetic portion and said male raised rim is a positive magnetic portion. 
     
     
         10 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said depressed rim is located on a perimeter of said mating magnetic portion and extends substantially continuously and uninterrupted thereon, and wherein said male raised rim is located on a perimeter of said opposite mating magnetic portion and extends substantially continuously and uninterrupted thereon. 
     
     
         11 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 10 , wherein said depressed rim extends to forms a cavity and said male raised rim extends to form a magnetic central section, wherein said rims mate and said cavity matingly receives said magnetic central section. 
     
     
         12 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said mating magnetic portions comprise a circular and cup mating configuration. 
     
     
         13 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said mating magnetic portions comprise disk like plates. 
     
     
         14 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said mating magnetic portions further comprise a clasp or hook. 
     
     
         15 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said mating magnetic portions comprise dome structures. 
     
     
         16 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said mating magnetic portions comprise mating half-geometrical structures that form a corresponding whole geometrical structure when mated. 
     
     
         17 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said rims of said mating magnetic portions comprise zigzag shaped magnetic surface that engage with one another. 
     
     
         18 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said mating magnetic portions comprise square geometrical portions and said rims are mating Z-shaped magnetic surfaces that engage with one another. 
     
     
         19 . The interchangeable jewelry system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said magnetic female cavity section includes a magnetic secondary cavity that extends inward from said cavity section, and wherein said magnetic male raised section includes a magnetic secondary extension that extends outward from said male raised section, and wherein said magnetic secondary cavity receives said magnetic secondary extension. 
     
     
         20 . An improved clasp for jewelry, said improvement comprising mating magnetic portions comprising a first portion having a depressed magnetic female rim extending to form a magnetic female cavity section and a mating raised magnetic male rim extending to form a magnetic male raised section, wherein said depressed magnetic female rim aligns with and receives said raised magnetic male rim to guide and seat said first and second magnetic portions together, and wherein said rims and said magnetic female cavity section said magnetic male raised section securely connect said jewelry strand sections together; and whereby said mating magnetic portions securely connect together to prevent inadvertent loss of said jewelry while being capable of disconnecting when subjected to a pulling force, thereby providing a safety feature that mitigates injury.
