Definitions

  • the invention relates to two or more friendship objects that may be sold together, wherein one object may be kept by one person and a second object may be given to a second person.
  • Each object may comprise a connector to enable multiple friendship objects to be linked or otherwise connected together to form jewelry, chains or other linked objects.
  • Friendship bracelets per se are known. Typically these items are given by one friend to another and worn as a symbol of friendship. Generally, each item is created and exists in isolation. Other types of friendship objects are also known. For example, with some friendship objects, two halves of one object may be joined together to complete the object. In these instances, each of two friends may keep one of the two objects and when the two friends get together, they can join the two objects together. For example, friendship rings are known. With friendship rings, each person has a single ring. When the rings are brought together, some synergistic result occurs. This pair of objects may be created and exist in an isolated pair. Charm bracelets are also known. With charm bracelets, a person may typically collect a number of charms. Each charm is usually connected to a bracelet, but not to each other. While a first friend could give a charm to a second friend, there is typically no corresponding charm kept by the first friend. Other types of friendship tokens exist.
  • two or more friendship objects may be sold together, wherein a first person keeps one of the objects and gives a second object to a second person (e.g., a friend, team mate, co-worker, customer or other person) that keeps the second object.
