Description

  • The current application claims a priority to the U.S. Provisional Patent application Ser. No. 61/543,853 filed on Oct. 6, 2011.
  • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates generally to an apparatus for jewelry. More specifically, the present invention is a bracelet having a storage section for carrying one's cards, such as credit cards or driver's license.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Purses and clutch handbags are typically used by women and wallets are typically used by men to hold personal items such as cash/cards, keys, cosmetics, etc. Many women choose to use a larger bag to contain all of her belongings for everyday use, such as a tote bag, backpack, or shoulder bag, while smaller handbags or clutches are generally preferred as an evening bag. However, a problem with using a smaller handbag or clutch as an evening bag is the possibility of misplacing or neglecting the article at any given social event. Since a small handbag/clutch is often used to carry bare necessities such as credit cards or identification cards, losing sight of the bag can be troublesome and stressful. Since men choose to keep the wallets, they constantly have to pull out the wallets for every occasion which increases the probability of losing the wallet. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a bracelet to be worn on a user's wrist, having a card containing housing for carrying necessities such as credit cards or identification cards.
