<p>A jewelry piece (10) includes a light transparent, ornamental element (20) and a light emitting diode (16) positioned near the ornamental element (20). A battery case (12) has a side wall (12b) having a threaded opening (29) therein, providing access to a battery being held within the battery case (12). A clasp (14) has an outwardly projecting threaded element (14b) adapted to be received in the threaded opening (29). There is a first conductive wire (26) having one end connected to the diode (16) and a second conductive wire (30) having one end connected to the light source and another end having a clasp (14). The clasp (14), when partially inserted into the opening (20), completes a loop but does not contact the other terminal of the battery, preventing the diode (16) from being energized. When the clasp (14) is completely inserted into the opening (29), the battery energizes the light sources. A magnetic clasp (60) having a pair of magnets (62 and 64) may be substituted for clasp (14).</p> |
