4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the digital data comprises at least one member of a group consisting of an image, a pattern and a video.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus is configured to fit on a plurality of jewelry pieces.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising means for allowing the received digital data to be transferred to another apparatus by tapping the two apparatuses onto each other, such that the apparatus to which the digital data is transferred, after the transfer, imitates the same real precious stone.

7. A jewelry piece in which at least one precious stone element is replaced with an apparatus comprising a screen, wherein the apparatus is capable of receiving from a digital device and displaying on the screen digital data a user selects from a plurality of choices, in order to make the jewelry piece appear as having a preferred precious stone.

8. The jewelry piece of claim 7, wherein the screen is flat, and wherein the apparatus further comprises a transparent dome.

9. The jewelry piece of claim 7, wherein the screen is flexible and shaped as a dome.

10. The jewelry piece of claim 7, wherein the digital data comprises at least one member of a group consisting of an image, a pattern and a video.

11. The jewelry piece of claim 7, wherein the digital device is a smart phone, which downloads the digital data from a server before uploading it into the apparatus.

12. The jewelry piece of claim 7, wherein the digital data is an image colored in blue such that the preferred precious stone imitates a sapphire.

13. The jewelry piece of claim 7, wherein the apparatus further comprises means for allowing the received digital data to be transferred to an apparatus of another jewelry piece by tapping the two jewelry pieces onto each other, such that the jewelry piece to which the digital data is transferred, after the transfer, appears as having the same preferred precious stone.

14. A system for customizing the appearance of a jewelry piece comprising:

a networked server for storing a collection of digital data;

a digital device capable of communicating with the networked server including downloading digital data therefrom;
