One type of patent is the design patent, which protects "ornamental characteristics." If the design is sufficiently innovative, it may receive a design patent.
Patent 342769 refers to a specific design or utility patent granted for a piece of jewelry, which means the inventor has exclusive rights to that design or function for a certain period.

It signifies innovation in jewelry design, contributing to the protection of the creator's intellectual property.
PAT P stamped on the clasp of a piece of jewelry means patent pending. It simply means that the jewelry designer has a copyright on the design of the jewelry.
"PAT APLD" on a piece of jewelry typically stands for "Patent Applied For." This indicates that the manufacturer has applied for a patent on the design or technology used in the jewelry but has not yet received formal approval. It serves as a notice to others that the design is legally protected pending the patent's approval, and unauthorized reproduction could lead to legal consequences.
