jewelry components that are magnetized with the same polarity and that are associated with a retaining element or elements so that they magnetically repulse each other and provide spatially arranged components that form new and unusual jewelry articles having heretofore unknown properties and advantages . the components are operatively associated so as to magnetically repulse each other so a plurality of such components can be joined or combined into rings , bracelets , chains , chokers , necklaces , watchbands or the like , with the magnetic force holding the components apart . when the components are moved or positionally changed in the piece due to movement of the wearer , gravitational changes or simple displacements , the magnetic forces cause the components to return to their original positions . these movements impart life and uniqueness to the jewelry articles that include the components and elements .
