ABSTRACT:
A piece of jewelry, like a ring, bracelet, or necklace containing a center opening, consists of a main body section which takes the shape of the piece. This section has a channel extending around its side walls into which arms from covers are inserted. The covers overlay the main body section and slidably move over the main body section by means of the arms in the channels. In the preferred embodiment, two covers are provided on the main body section, although one or more than two covers are contemplated. The two covers slidably move in opposite directions on the main body section. The covers may have decorative ornamentation on their outer surfaces. When they are placed together and locked into position by a spring detent, the jewelry has one appearance. When the covers are together, they also conceal and protect the gem, inscription, or other decorative ornamentation on the top surface of the main body section. When the covers are moved apart, they expose the decorative ornamentation on the top surface of the piece of jewelry, presenting the piece with another appearance.
