DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Before turning to the figures, which illustrate certain illustrative embodiments in detail, it should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the details or methodology set forth in the description or illustrated in the figures. It should also be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of description only and should not be regarded as limiting.

Referring to the figures generally, a wearable jewelry (e.g., jewelry article, jewelry fabric, etc.) is shown that converts to a clothing embellishment. The jewelry may be provided with or as part of a garment of clothing or may be provided and used as a standalone piece of jewelry applied directly to the body.

Referring to FIG. 1, a garment 100 is shown that includes a jewelry article that is removable from the garment. The garment 100 includes a wearable body 102 and a jewelry article 104 that is detachably coupled to the wearable body 102. The wearable body 102 or garment of clothing may include a shirt, sweater, pullover, pants, shoes, hats, jacket, scarf, gloves, or another type of wearable clothing. The wearable body 102 may define a hollow portion and/or including a sleeve, hem, hood, and/or collar. In other embodiments, the jewelry article 104 can be a (customized) handbag strap, incorporated into car seats, couches, pillow, or any other article with fabric.

The wearable body 102 may include at least one fabric made from a textile 106 such as cotton, silk, wool, nylon, polyester, another type of filament or fiber, and/or a combination thereof. In at least one embodiment, the wearable body 102 (see FIG. 3) includes a first fabric 108 woven to form a hollow portion 110 (e.g., a hollow interior, an internal cavity, etc.) that is configured to receive a user’s body or a portion thereof (e.g., arms, legs, neck, shoulders, etc.).

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the first fabric 108 defines an opening 112 configured to receive the jewelry article 104 therein. The jewelry article 104 is disposed substantially within the opening 112 and substantially covers the opening 112. The wearable body 102 may also include a second fabric 114 coupled (e.g., stitched, sewn, woven, etc.) to an underside of the first fabric 108 (e.g., a side of the first fabric 108 that faces the hollow portion 110. The second fabric 114 may extend across the opening 112 and may separate the opening 112 from the hollow portion 110. The opening 112 may form a recessed area 113 (e.g., depression, etc.) in the wearable body 102. The jewelry article 104 may be disposed within the opening 112 and substantially cover the opening 112 when secured to the wearable body 102. A portion of the jewelry article 104 may be recessed within the opening, between an outward facing surface of the first fabric 108 and an outward facing surface of the second fabric 114. For example, at least one of a backing layer, a second fastening member, and/or a cord of the jewelry article 104 may be recessed within the opening 112. It should be appreciated that a depth of the recessed area 113, and an amount of the jewelry article 104 that is recessed below the outward facing surface of the first fabric 108, may vary depending on a thickness of the first fabric 108.

The jewelry article 104 may be coupled to the wearable body 102 at any desired location along the wearable body 102. For example, the jewelry article 104 may extend across a chest area of a sweater or shirt such as in a vertical orientation (e.g., longitudinally between a lower hem and hoodie of a sweater as shown in FIG. 1), a horizontal orientation (e.g., laterally between sleeves of a sweater as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3), and/or any other desired orientation. In another embodiment, the jewelry article 104 may be coupled to a sleeve, hoodie, or any other suitable location along the wearable body 102. In yet other embodiments, the jewelry may form at least part of a manufacture’s and/or designer’s logo for the garment.

The jewelry article 104 may be detachably coupled to the wearable body, so that the jewelry article 104 is removable from the wearable body 102 without cutting, breaking, or otherwise damaging the wearable body 102 or jewelry article 104. For example, the jewelry article 104 may be coupled to the wearable body 102 via at least one fastening member, shown as fastener 116, such as zippers extending along opposing sides of the jewelry article 104.

The wearable body 102 may include a corresponding fastener(s) that couple with the fastening member(s) of the jewelry article 104. The fastener 116 may include zippers, magnets, clips, catches, etc. Non-parallel zippers (e.g., v-shaped) may alternatively be utilized. For example, the fastener 116 may include zippers oriented parallel to one another and spaced a distance apart to accommodate a width or height of the jewelry article 104. The fastener 116 may be oriented vertically, horizontally, around a cuff, and/or any desired position along the wearable body 102. The jewelry article 104 may be interchanged with others having different designs (numbers and/or arrangement of ornaments, etc.). The jewelry article may be made in a variety of sizes and shapes, and corresponding sizes and shapes of the fastener may be disposed on the wearable body.

For example, and referring to FIG. 3, the fastener 116 may include a body first zipper 119 and a body second zipper 120 spaced apart from the body first zipper 119 and oriented substantially parallel to the body second zipper 120. Note that similar numbering in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 have been used to identify similar components). The zippers may be disposed along opposing outer edges of the opening 112 and may extend along an entire length of the outer edges to secure the jewelry article 104 within the opening 112 and to reduce any unsecured length of the jewelry article 104. The zippers may be secured (e.g., stitched, sewn, woven, etc.) to the first fabric 108 and/or the second fabric 114, and may be disposed at least partially between the first fabric 108 and the second fabric 114 so that the fastener is at least partially recessed within the opening 112. In other embodiments, another type of fastener may be used to couple the jewelry article 104 to the wearable body 102 including magnet(s), clips, snaps, buckles, loops and hooks, etc.

The jewelry article 104 may be removed from the wearable body 102 and may be worn separately from the wearable body 102. Stated differently, in a first mode of operation, the jewelry article 104 is connected to the wearable body 102. In a second mode of operation, the jewelry article 104 may be used as wearable jewelry separate from the wearable body 102 (e.g., as a necklace, bracelet, anklet, head pieces, rings, etc.).

Referring to FIG. 4, a jewelry article 104 that has been disconnected from a wearable body is shown. The jewelry article 104 includes a backing layer 122 (e.g., fabric, leather, etc.) and a jewelry layer 124 (e.g., an ornament layer, a decorative layer, etc.) coupled to the backing layer 122.

The backing layer 122 may extend across the entire jewelry article 104 or only a portion thereof. The backing layer 122 may form a soft skin-facing layer of the jewelry article 104 to improve user comfort when worn and to prevent contact between the ornament(s) and a person’s skin. The backing layer 122 may include a stretchable or non-stretchable material that can be wrapped or otherwise formed around a person’s leg, arm, neck, ankle, etc. for wearing the jewelry article separately from the wearable body. The backing layer 122 may be made from at least one of a fabric (e.g., made from silk, cotton, nylon, or any other suitable textile) or a leather textile.

The jewelry layer 124 may be interwoven (e.g., stitched, sewn, interlaced, etc.) with the backing layer 122. The jewelry layer 124 may include ornaments 126, such as beads, gems, pendants, charms, and the like.

The ornaments 126 may be detachably coupled to the jewelry article 104 (e.g., backing layer 122) using zippers, buttons, snaps, or the like. In other embodiments, the ornaments 126 or jewelry layer 124 may be woven (e.g., stitched, sewn, interlaced, etc.) into the backing layer 122, glued, or otherwise bonded or fastened to the backing layer 122 and may extend across a first side 128 of the backing layer 122.

The first fastening member 118 is configured to detachably couple the backing layer 122 and/or jewelry layer 124 to the fastener(s) on the wearable body, and may be woven or otherwise bonded, fastened, or integrally formed with the backing layer 122 and/or jewelry layer 124. The first fastening member 118 may extend along the backing layer 122. The first fastening member 118 may include an article first zipper 130 extending along a first edge 132 (e.g., an upper edge, etc.) of the backing layer 122 between a first end 134 of the backing layer 122 and a second end 136 of the backing layer 122. The first fastening member 118 may further include an article second zipper 138 extending along a second edge 140 (e.g., a lower edge, etc.) of the backing layer 122 between the first end 134 and the second end 136. In some embodiments, the first edge 132 and the second edge 140 may be disposed on opposite sides of the backing layer 122 and/or jewelry layer 124. The article first zipper 130 and/or the article second zipper 138 may extend along an entire length of the backing layer 122 and/or jewelry layer 124.

The zippers may be secured (e.g., stitched, sewn, woven, etc.) to the backing layer 122 and/or the jewelry layer 124. In other embodiments, another type of fastening member may be used to couple the jewelry article 104 to the wearable body including magnet(s), clips, snaps, buckles, loops and hooks, etc.

The jewelry article 104 may also include a second fastening member 142 configured to couple the jewelry article 104 (e.g., the backing layer 122, the jewelry layer 124, etc.) to an individual’s wrist, ankle, neck, arm, leg, etc. The second fastening member 142 may be a button connector, magnet, or another type of fastener, and may be disposed on opposing sides of the jewelry article 104 (e.g., the backing layer 122, the jewelry layer 124, etc.) as the first fastening member 118. For example, the second fastening member 142 may include a button connector having a socket 144 coupled to the backing layer 122, the jewelry layer 124, and/or the first fastening member 118 proximate to the first end 134 of the backing layer 122, and a stud 146 coupled to the backing layer 122, the jewelry layer 124, and/or the first fastening member 118 proximate to the second end 136 of the backing layer 122. In other embodiments, the second fastening member 142 may be disposed on the same sides of the jewelry article 104 as the first fastening member 118. In some embodiments, the first fastening member 118 and the second fastening member 142 may be the same (a zipper used to connect the jewelry article 104 to the wearable body may also be used to secure the jewelry article 104 to a person’s wrist, ankle, neck, etc.). For example, the article first zipper 130 may be zippered to the article second zipper 138, which are both connected to the jewelry article 104.

FIGS. 5-11 shows the jewelry article 104 reconfigured for use as wearable jewelry separate from a wearable body. The jewelry article 104 may roll or fold back onto itself to conceal the first fastening member 118 when used as wearable jewelry independent from the wearable body. The jewelry article 104 may include a cinching member 148 that secures the jewelry article in a rolled or folded position. In another embodiment, the first fastening member 118 may not be concealed in the folded position.

The cinching member 148 may include a strap or cord 150 on either end of the jewelry article 104. The cord 150 may be coupled (e.g., stitched, sewn, interwoven, etc.) to the backing layer 122 and/or the jewelry layer 124 and may extend along the first end 134 of the backing layer 122. In some embodiments, the cinching member 148 includes a second cord disposed on the second end of the backing layer 122 opposite from the cord 150. In some embodiments, the cord 150 extends through the jewelry article (e.g., the jewelry layer 124, etc.).

In at least one embodiment, the cord 150 also includes a cord lock 152 that is engaged with the cord 150 in two locations between a first free end 154 of the cord 150 and a second free end 156 of the cord 150. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, when separated from the wearable body, the jewelry article 104 may be reconfigurable between an unfolded position (FIG. 4)—in which the first fastening member 118 is accessible to the user—and a folded position (FIG. 5)—in which the first fastening member is concealed from view (e.g., beneath the jewelry layer 124, etc.). The cord lock 152 may be configured to cinch the strap or cord 150 near the jewelry layer 124 and/or backing layer 122 when the jewelry article 104 is folded onto itself (e.g., in half, in the folded position, etc.) to hold the jewelry article 104 in the second mode of operation so that the jewelry article 104 can be worn separate from the wearable body (so that the backing layer 122 and first fastening member 118 are hidden from view when the jewelry article 104 is worn separately from the wearable body).

The jewelry article 104 may be configured so that the backing layer 122, the first fastening member 118, and/or the second fastening member 142 are concealed from view in the second mode of operation (but with the second fastening member 142 accessible for use beneath the jewelry article 104 as shown in FIG. 8).

As shown in FIGS. 9-12, a person may secure the jewelry article 104 to their neck, arm, ankle, etc. via the second fastening member 142 (e.g., a button connector, etc.), by wrapping the jewelry article 104 (in the folded position) over an appendage and securing the second fastening member 142 to connect opposing ends (or regions towards opposing ends, the first end 134 and the second end 136, etc.) of the jewelry article 104. In some embodiments, the jewelry article 104 may also include a separate (e.g., a second) cinching member extending along a length of the jewelry article, between opposing sides of the jewelry article, that allow the wearer to adjust the jewelry article to the desired fit.

Another aspect of the present disclosure is a display and/or storage container for a detachable jewelry article. Referring to FIG. 13, an illustrative display 200 for the jewelry article is shown.
