Abstract
A decorative jewelry module comprises a base member with a hollow interior, a decorative insert, and a fastener arrangement. The hollow base member has a top with an opening therein, a bottom, and an interior. The decorative insert is sized in relation to the interior of the base member so as to be placed within the hollow base member and viewed through the top opening. The fastener arrangement fixes the decorative insert within the hollow base member below the base member top. The decorative jewelry article may be manufactured as a multi-part base and decorative insert combination, or as a monolithic jewel article having a base portion and a decorative element portion. The jewelry article may be designed to have the appearance of a single decorative unit, or to have the appearance of a double (or greater) decorative unit. Such units have application in many jewelry items. A number of such units may be connected in series to form a tennis bracelet.
