Is it necessary to obtain a patent on designer handmade jewelry?

I am filing a trademark (name) today, but I wonder if it is necessary to obtain a patent as well. From jewelry styles are usually copied, but even styles occur from time to time. It's just like a big expense to get the trademark and patent as well. No doubt he wanted the brand to protect my name though.

Jewelry is the sole property (unless that some mechanism unique patent work). So print a catalog of jewelry, including a copyright notice, and if someone is caught doing the same, you can sue for copyright infringement.
