Abstract
A finger ring comprising a generally circular band defining a finger receiving opening. The band has a radially outwardly open window. A jewelry piece is removably received in a displayed position within the window. A pair of levers is rotatably supported on the band on opposite sides of the window. The levers have inner and outer segments and are rotatably adjustable between open and closed positions. In the open position the inner segments protrude into the finger receiving opening and the outer segments are removed from the window to thereby accommodate insertion and removal of the jewelry piece into and from the displayed position. In the closed positions the inner segments are removed from the finger receiving opening and the outer segments extend into the window to mechanically engage and retain the jewelry piece in the displayed position.
