ABSTRACT:
Ornamental electronic jewelry preferably in the form of an earring is presented which is comprised of a housing with a plurality of fiber-optic strands extending therefrom. The housing includes therein a self-contained battery and light emitting diode (LED). The bundle of fiber-optic strands are directly attached to the LED via an opening in the LED housing. The batteries are electrically connected to the LED so that the LED transfers light to the bundle of fiber-optic strands. Preferably, an earring closure mechanism is provided which acts to both attach the earring to an ear as well as to provide on/off switching. In an alternative embodiment, an electronic circuit is encased in the housing to provide flashing to the LED and hence the fiber-optic strands.
