         9 . A method of using a stackable jewelry system, comprising:
 stacking first and second bands;   wherein said first band comprises:
 a first annular member having first annular member outer and inner faces coupled together by first annular member upper and lower faces; 
 at least two first protrusions axially extending from one of said first annular member upper or lower faces in circumferentially spaced-apart relation, said first protrusion having first protrusion outer and inner faces; and 
 a first opening between said first protrusions, said first opening communicating with a first band interior space; 
 at least one of (i) said first protrusion outer face radially offset from said first annular member outer face, or (ii) said first protrusion inner face radially offset from said first annular member inner face; and 
   wherein said second band comprises:
 a second annular member having second annular member outer and inner faces coupled together by second annular member upper and lower faces; and 
 at least one second protrusion axially extending from one of said second annular member upper or lower faces, said second protrusion having second protrusion outer and inner faces; 
 at least one of (i) said second protrusion outer face radially offset from said second annular member outer face, or (ii) said second protrusion inner face radially offset from said second annular member inner face. 
   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising disposing said first and second bands about a finger. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein in said stacked configuration, said first and second bands dispose in coaxial relation. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein in said stacked configuration, said second protrusion is capable of radial alignment with said first opening. 
     
     
         13 . A stackable jewelry system, comprising:
 a first band comprising:
 a first annular member having first annular member outer and inner faces coupled together by first annular member upper and lower faces; 
 at least two first protrusions axially extending from one of said first annular member upper or lower faces in circumferentially spaced-apart relation, said first protrusion having first protrusion outer and inner faces; and 
 a first opening between said first protrusions, said first opening communicating with a first band interior space; 
 at least one of (i) said first protrusion outer face radially offset from said first annular member outer face, or (ii) said first protrusion inner face radially offset from said first annular member inner face. 
   
     
     
         14 - 18 . (canceled) 
     
     
         19 . The jewelry system of  claim 13 , further comprising at least one said first protrusion extending axially upward from said first annular member upper face, and at least one said first protrusion extending axially downward from said first annular member lower face. 
     
     
         20 . (canceled) 
     
     
         21 . The stackable jewelry system of  claim 13 , further comprising:
