1. A portable piece of jewelry comprising a mechanism for animating an object, said mechanism comprising:
a motive source arranged to drive a transmission;
a regulating system arranged to regulate the rotation speed of said transmission;
a support system bearing an object intended to be animated in rotation about a first rotational axis by said motive source via a power take-off forming part of said transmission,
wherein said support system comprises a first frame pivotably mounted on a frame element about said first rotational axis as well as an interior frame pivotably mounted in said first frame about a second pivot axis that is substantially orthogonal with respect to said first pivot axis;
and in that said object is arranged to be driven by an eccentric drive element constrained to rotate with a drive wheel arranged to be driven by said power take-off.
