Abstract
A piece of jewelry which comprises an elongated length of fiberoptic material, prewound into a multilooped coil and cut at one radial point, each open end of the loop being clamped to a shell containing a source of illumination in such manner that the cut ends of the various loops are exposed to the source of illumination, whereupon the individual loops extending from the shell are cut at varying lengths to present a jewelry piece, which clings to the wearer by reason of the prewound stresses in the loops, and which emits multiple dots of light as the light is transmitted through the fiberoptic material to the unclamped ends thereof.
