In order to add colors to personal ornamental pieces such as bracelets, necklaces, angle bracelets, chains, etc., two or more materials of different colors may be used for making the desired personal ornamental pieces.
FIG. 1
illustrates a bead bracelet
1
constructed according to the prior art. This structure of bead bracelet
1
comprises a string
10
, a plurality of beads
11
fastened to the string
10
, and a fastener
12
adapted to join the ends of the string
10
. The fabrication of this structure of bead bracelet is complicated, and consumes much labor. When in use, the beads
11
tend to be covered with dust, and the string
10
tends to be broken.
FIG. 2
shows another structure of bracelet according to the prior art. This structure of bracelet
2
comprises a transparent tube
20
, a colored fluid sealed in the transparent tube
20
, and a fastener
21
adapted to join the two distal ends of the transparent tube
20
. The fabrication of this structure of bracelet is also complicated, and consumes much labor. When stretched, the fastener
21
tends to be disconnected from the ends of the transparent tube
20
, causing the colored fluid to leak out of the transparent tube
20
.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. According to one aspect of the present invention, the color ornamental cord device comprises a supporting core material, a color ornamental material surrounding the supporting core material, and a transparent plastic cover layer holding the supporting core material and the color ornamental material. According to another aspect of the present invention, the color ornamental material can be a color tape wound round the supporting core material, or a meshed color tube sleeved onto the supporting core material. According to still another aspect of the present invention, the supporting core material is embedded with at least one reinforcing wire.
