Ornament with sliding movable article

Abstract

Ornaments, such as wearable ornaments, are provided having one or more movable articles that may slide to on or off a substrate. The movable articles may have an ornamental front side and a rear side that may cause the movable article to encircle the substrate. A stopper may be provided on the substrate. The rear side may have a greater length than the front side, which may permit natural spacing between the front sides of adjacent moveable articles.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An ornament comprising:
 a flat, elongated substrate having a front face and opposing back face, wherein the substrate is configured to connect to a portion configured to be supported around a wearer's neck; and   at least one movable article configured to slide onto the substrate, wherein the movable article has a front side contacting the front face of the elongated member and showing an ornamental portion of the movable article, and a back side contacting the back face of elongated member,   wherein the substrate comprises a stopper configured to prevent the at least one movable article from sliding past the stopper.   
     
     
         2 . The ornament of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one movable article is removable or exchangeable for another movable article on the substrate. 
     
     
         3 . The ornament of  claim 1 , wherein the stopper has a greater thickness than the rest of the substrate. 
     
     
         4 . The ornament of  claim 3 , wherein the stopper is integrally formed with the rest of the substrate. 
     
     
         5 . The ornament of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one movable article comprises:
 a first movable article that slides onto the substrate, wherein the first movable article has a first front side contacting the front face of the substrate and showing an ornamental portion of the first movable article, and a first back side contacting the back face of the substrate and overlapping with at least a portion of the first front side; and   a second movable article that slides onto the substrate, wherein the second movable article has a second front side contacting the front face of the substrate and showing an ornamental portion of the second movable article, and a second back side contacting the back face of the substrate and overlapping with at least a portion of the second front side,   wherein the first front side and the second front side are configured to have a gap between one another when the first back side comes into contact with the second back side.
