ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a decorative multi-use magnetic button construction which includes a decorative shell 18 having a cavity 12 therein which contains a first magnet 14 which contacts the base 16 of the present invention which base contacts the outer surface of, for example, a human ear 24 or garment 26 and is held in place on the ear by attraction to a second magnet 20 on the opposite side of the ear 24. This provides a structure which is securely attached to the ear 24 or garment 26 and allows interchangeable decorative shells 18 to be alternatively and permanently connected to the base 16. An additional embodiment discloses an outer shell having curled edges 22 for being more tightly attached to the base 16.
