20150308489 | TURNING MECHANISM FOR A PIECE OF JEWELRY - A turning mechanism for a piece of jewelry, showing one of two opposing faces, includes a bale having a central opening and two opposite ends. At least one barbell-shaped pin has spheres at each end. The pin passes through at least one of the two opposite ends of the bale. One sphere projects into the central opening and secures the pin to the bale while the other sphere secures the piece of jewelry to the bale so that the piece of jewelry may be swiveled by a wearer to show another one of the two opposing faces. The faces may be “day” and “night”. The piece of jewelry may be a pendant on a necklace, an earring, a bracelet, or a ring. There may be a thickened portion of a trapezoidal shape at one of the two opposite ends of the bale to resist stresses and to prevent breakage of the pin. | 10-29-2015 |
