DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
Present disclosure, in general, relates to the field of manufacturing jewellery and ornaments. Particularly, but not exclusively, the present disclosure relates wearable articles. Further, embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a wearable article with interchangeable modular units.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
A wearable article is generally an accessory such as, but not limited to, a bracelet, a watch, a bangle, a chain, a necklace and any other article that may be donned by a user. Wearable articles are usually made from materials including at least one of metal, plastic, wood, glass, rubber, cloth, leather, gemstones [natural or synthetic] and any other material that may be considered as aesthetically appealing and/or economically feasible for manufacturing. Wearable articles are configured to adapt to size of user’s wrist and serve dual function of utility as well as decoration.

Further, with advent of modern technology in manufacturing and fabrication of wearable articles, manufacturers tend to focus on aesthetic appeal of the wearable article, in addition to functional aspects of the wearable article. This has given rise to requirement of providing wearable units with aesthetic appeal, without compromising on functional aspect of the wearable units. In addition to the above, users, nowadays, demand for customizable wearable units. Wearable units that are customizable or modifiable, as per user’s requirement and to suit various occasions, social settings are in demand.

To cater to such requirement of modularity of wearable articles, various design, development and modifications have been performed to existing structural configurations of the wearable devices. For instance, wearable article Do-It-Yourself kits containing several ornamental beads have been developed. Such wearable article kits include a tie string and a clasp to hold a fabric bundle, with beads and pellets provisioned in the kit with the fabric bundle. However, such wearable article kits are limited to being attached to the string by putting the tie string through the holes of the ornaments. Further, in another example, a wearable article may be formed from hollow tubular structures containing water, coloring and/or other particulates. The hollow tubular structures are sealed by employing a jewelry machine. The wearable article can only be customized, by attaching beads and charms to the hollow tubular structure, through the holes of the beads and the charms. Such configuration of the wearable article makes it time consuming to customize, is limited by the number of customization options available, and is further restricted by need of jewelry machine for performing customization.

All of the wearable article configurations described above, are restricted in their use to particular occasions and are limited to particular purposes and social settings. Further, the wearable units described above, have several drawbacks, including interchangeable parts being used in construction of accessory base or base ring, requiring removal/detaching of all of the interchangeable parts for performing customization and the like.

The present disclosure is directed to overcome one or more limitations stated above or any other limitations associated with the prior arts.
