Abstract
Lighted jewelry ornaments contain a lighting device to be used with a variety of different light-transmissive ornaments for making illuminating earrings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants or decorative ornaments to be hung on clothing apparel, trees or chandeliers etc. They are composed of an ornament housing (23) and a decorative threaded cap battery housing (22) having an attachment device, such as an eyepin (10), as a point of attachment for a hanging support device such as an earring fish hook or necklace. Said battery housing encloses a tapered compression coil spring (12) and a battery (15) that electrically connects to a light-emitting diode or light bulb (3) which is contained within said ornament housing by a threaded plug (6). Adhered to an ornament (1) is one of four said threaded plugs, which encircle said light-emitting diode or light bulb and which screws into said decorative threaded cap. Said ornaments are made of solid or hollow, clear or colored light-transmissive material such as plastic, glass, stone or other decorative material. Said threaded plug is part of an ornament'"'"'s mold and molding or is adhered to a pre-existing molded ornament. Two of the threaded plugs allow for the replacement of said light-emitting diode or light bulb. Different types and colors of said light-emitting diodes or light bulbs can be used. Enlargement of this invention allows for the use of multiple batteries or different types and sizes of batteries for brighter or longer illumination. Lighted jewelry ornaments light up when said battery housing and said ornament housing are fully threaded together.
