ABSTRACT:
Rib and groove snap-type action securing elements are formed respectively on ornamentation bases and caps so that a number of different ornamentation caps can be disposed for co-action with a single base to fabricate a number of different ornamentation assemblies. In one embodiment the rib is carried by a depending circumferential wall of the cap for co-action with a circumferential groove formed in the base, while in another embodiment the rib is carried by an upstanding circumferential wall of the base for co-action with a groove disposed peripherally about the cap. In other embodiments a disc-like intermediate cap is disposed between a base and a top cap. In another embodiment the intermediate member co-acts with the base and the top cap. In yet another embodiment the cap includes a pair of parallel ribs for co-action with an intermediate cap and the base member. The items of ornamentation may be either buttons with the base carrying an anchor or holes to facilitate securing the button to an article; or items of jewelry such as pins, broaches, rings, pendants, earrings, tie tacks and the like with suitable fastening means.
