An openable ring that is arranged to be worn about a portion of a body of
a person. The ring includes first and second arcuate sections that are
pivotally interconnected at one end of the ring for permitting pivotal
movement of the arcuate sections between opened and closed positions. At
the end opposite the pivotal interconnection, each arcuate section
includes a pair of locking extensions, the locking extensions being
transversely aligned with one another. Each locking extension has a
locking surface which comprises a sum of more than two alternating hill
and valley portions. The hill and valley portions of each respective
locking surface cooperate with each other to releasably retain the
arcuate sections in a closed position to define a closed ring having an
inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface defines an interior
passage for receiving a portion of the person's body, e.g., a finger.
