Abstract
Abstract Convertible jewely for display as both a belt buckle and a pendant. Affixed to the rear portion of an ornamental object are belt attachment fixtures and a necklace attachment fixture. The necklace attachment fixture facilitates display of the ornamental object as a pendant. The belt attachment fixtures rotate to an extended position and a retracted position. In the extended position, the belt attachment fixtures facilitate display of the ornamental object as a belt buckle. When not in use, the belt attachment fixtures are rotated into their retracted positions so as to minimize their rear extension.
