Image unlocking jewelry device

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention in its several disclosed embodiments alleviates the drawbacks described above with respect to jewelry devices and incorporates several additionally beneficial features.
The present invention described herein a jewelry device designed to hide and reveal an image positioned therein.
The image may be predetermined or preferably customized by a manufacturer, seller and/or buyer of the device.
Specifically, the image is inserted between a lens and a casing which may be mated to a jewelry attachment.
A layer of liquid crystal having a cover set thereon is contained inside a lens and mounted over the image and is designed to transition from one shade to another based on the application of voltage.
The voltage, including a transceiver and a battery, is generated from circuitry disposed within the casing.
In one embodiment, the casing includes a plurality of buttons capable of being depressed.
When a button is depressed, a voltage from the circuitry is sent to the liquid crystal display where the display transitions from a secure opaque color to a clear color thereby revealing the image held underneath the display.
In an alternative embodiment, when a button is pressed, a signal is sent from the jewelry device to a companion device thereby displaying the image held within the companion device.
In another embodiment, the jewelry device electromagnetically communicates with the companion device.
Specifically, the jewelry device generates and sends a magnetic resonant frequency to the companion device to reveal the image held therein.
In turn, the jewelry device may receive signals sent from the companion device; and as a result, the image within the jewelry device is uncovered.
In still another embodiment, at least one light emitting diode (LED) is incorporated inside the casing in a position suitable for illuminating the image underneath the LCD.
The circuitry of the device includes circuitry to drive the LED in conjunction with the process of clearing the LCD to reveal the image
