Customizable multi-component necklace and chain system

Abstract

A multi-component necklace includes a base, a trim removably coupled to the base, and a cover removably coupled to the trim. Additionally, the multi-component necklace may include a base, a first trim removably coupled to the base, a first cover removably coupled to the first trim, and a second trim removably coupled to the first cover. The base may include a heat-resistant material. The second trim may be removably coupled to the first trim and disposed between the first trim and the first cover. The multi-component necklace may further include a second cover removably coupled to the second trim. The second trim may be disposed between the first cover and the second cover.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A multi-component necklace comprising:
 a base;   a trim removably coupled to the base; and   a cover removably coupled to the trim.   
     
     
         2 . The multi-component necklace of  claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a heat-resistant material. 
     
     
         3 . The multi-component necklace of  claim 1 , wherein the trim comprises one or more trim connection points configured to removably couple to the base. 
     
     
         4 . The multi-component necklace of  claim 3 , wherein the one or more trim connection points comprise one or more protrusions such that the one or more trim connection points snap into the base. 
     
     
         5 . The multi-component necklace of  claim 1 , wherein the cover comprises one or more cover connection points configured to removably couple to the trim. 
     
     
         6 . The multi-component necklace of  claim 5 , wherein the one or more cover connection points comprise one or more protrusions such that the one or more cover connection points snap into the trim. 
     
     
         7 . The multi-component necklace of  claim 3 , wherein:
 the base includes one or more base connection points configured to removably couple to the one or more trim connection points or one or more cover connection points.   
     
     
         8 . A multi-component necklace comprising:
 a base;   a first trim removably coupled to the base;   a first cover removably coupled to the first trim; and   a second trim removably coupled to the first cover.   
     
     
         9 . The multi-component necklace of  claim 8 , wherein the second trim is removably coupled to the first trim and disposed between the first trim and the first cover. 
     
     
         10 . The multi-component necklace of  claim 8 , further comprising a second cover removably coupled to the second trim. 
     
     
         11 . The multi-component necklace of  claim 10 , wherein the second trim is disposed between the first cover and the second cover. 
     
     
         12 . The multi-component necklace of  claim 10 , further comprising a third trim removably coupled to the second cover. 
     
     
         13 . The multi-component necklace of  claim 8 , further comprising a third trim removably coupled to the second trim. 
     
     
         14 . The multi-component necklace of  claim 8 , further comprising a third cover removably coupled to the second trim. 
     
     
         15 . A method, comprising:
 removably coupling a first trim to a base; and   removably coupling a first cover to the first trim.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 removably coupling one or more additional components to the base, the first trim, or the first cover.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the first trim comprises one or more trim connection points configured to removably couple the first trim to the base; and
 the first cover comprises one or more connection points configured to removably couple the first cover to the first trim.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein removably coupling the one or more additional components to the base, the first trim, or the first cover comprises:
 removably coupling a second trim to the first cover; and   removably coupling a second cover to the second trim or the first trim.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein removably coupling the one or more additional components to the base, the first trim, or the first cover comprises:
 removably coupling a second trim to the first trim and the first cover such that the second trim is disposed between the first trim and a second cover.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein:
 the second trim comprises one or more trim connection points configured to removably couple the second trim to the first trim or the first cover; and   the second cover comprises one or more connection points configured to removably couple the second cover to the second trim or to the first trim.
