         6 . A method according to  claim 1 , wherein said adapting includes substantially flattening a surface of one of at least one spherical portion of said navel ring.  
     
     
         7 . A method for combining a navel ring and a logo portion, comprising: 
 providing a navel ring having a top portion, a stem and a bottom portion; and    adapting said navel ring to include a logo portion that is adapted to display at least one school logo, wherein said adapting includes flattening at least a portion of one of the top and bottom portion of the navel ring, thereby converting said one of a top and bottom portion into said logo portion.    
     
     
         8 . A method according to  claim 7 , further comprising: 
 providing at least one intermediate linking portion that links said navel ring and a second logo portion.    
     
     
         9 . A method according to  claim 8 , wherein said at least one intermediate linking portion includes at least one of a chain, a rope, a T-bar and a clasp.  
     
     
         10 . A method according to  claim 7 , wherein said at least one school logo is one of a shield, an emblem, a banner, a class year, a school name, a school motto, a school mascot, an indication of a degree obtained, an indication of an award obtained, a club and an indication of an honor obtained.  
     
     
         11 . A method according to  claim 8 , wherein said second logo portion is openable and closable to reveal further additional at least one school logo.  
     
     
         12 . A navel ring, including: 
 at least one spherical portion;    a stem; and    a logo portion that is adapted to display at least one school logo.    
     
     
         13 . A navel ring according to  claim 11 , further including: 
 a T-bar component coupled to one of said at least one spherical portion.    
     
     
         14 . A navel ring according to  claim 12 , further including at least one linking portion attached to said T-bar component, wherein said logo portion is included as part of said navel ring via said linking portion.  
     
     
         15 . A navel ring according to  claim 11 , wherein a surface of one of said at least one spherical portions is substantially flattened, whereby said surface is said logo portion.  
     
     
         16 . A navel ring according to  claim 12 , further including at least one intermediate linking portion that links said logo portion to said navel ring.  
     
     
         17 . A navel ring according to  claim 16 , wherein said at least one intermediate linking portion includes at least one of a chain, a rope, a T-bar and a clasp.  
     
     
         18 . A navel ring according to  claim 12 , wherein said at least one school logo is one of a shield, an emblem, a banner, a class year, a school name, a school motto, a school mascot, an indication of a degree obtained, an indication of an award obtained, a club and an indication of an honor obtained.  
     
     
         19 . A navel ring according to  claim 12 , wherein said logo portion is openable and closable to reveal further additional at least one school logo.  
     
     
         20 . A method for combining a navel ring and a logo portion, comprising: 
 providing a logo portion that is adapted to display at least one school logo;    providing a navel ring; and    attaching said logo portion to said navel ring by adapting said navel ring to flexibly include said logo portion such that said logo portion is pivotable relative to said navel ring.    
     
     
         21 . A method according to  claim 20 , wherein said attaching includes providing at least one intermediate linking portion that links said navel ring and said logo portion.  
     
     
         22 . A navel ring, including: 
 at least one spherical portion;    a stem; and    a logo portion that is adapted to display at least one school logo,    wherein said logo portion is pivotally movable relative to said stem.    
     
     
         23 . A navel ring according to  claim 22 , further including:
