1. An article of jewelry for connecting an ornament having an electrically actuated feature thereto, comprising:
a) a flexible support substrate; b) first and second substrate engagement members mounted on the support substrate, the first and second substrate engagement members being configured to form a non-permanent engagement with one another; c) an electrical conductor mounted in the support substrate, the electrical conductor being operatively associated with the first and second engagement members, wherein an electrical circuit is created by the formation of the non-permanent engagement; d) a battery mounted in the support substrate and in electrical communication with the electrical conductor; and e) at least one ornament connection port mounted on the support substrate, the ornament receiving port being in electrical communication with the electrical conductor and comprising a post receiving cavity extending axially into the substrate, the post receiving cavity defining an bottom surface and an opening, wherein an axially inner electrically conductive member is mounted adjacent to the bottom surface of the post receiving cavity and an axially outer electrically conductive member is mounted adjacent to the opening of the cavity, the outer electrically conductive member being configured to provide a negative electrical contact and the inner conductive member being configured to provide a positive electrical contact responsive to the formation of the non-permanent engagement between the first and second substrate engagement members. |
