Abstract
The disclosure concerns a jewelry mounting apparatus for pendants, bracelets, rings and the like which incorporates a planar mounting frame adapted to rotate about one or more positional axes for the purpose of displaying opposing surfaces of mounted coins, gems, other ornamental objects and the mounting components. An inner mounting frame has an aperture centrally disposed therethrough. The item to be displayed is mounted within the central aperture of the inner mounting frame. A pair of pivot pins depend outwardly from the outer surface of the inner mounting frame, defining a rotational axis about which the inner mounting frame will rotate. An outer planar mounting frame has an aperture disposed therethrough. A plurality of opposed detents are formed in the surface of the outer frame about the aperture. The location and selection of the pivot detents which are used to engage the pivot pins establishes the axis of rotation of the inner mounting frame relative to the outer frame and for the proper orientation of the mounted coin or other object.
