Electrically powered element and a battery therefor

摘要

An illuminating earring or other electrically powered element includes a light-emitting diode (LED) encased within a synthetic gemstone. The LED/gemstone is permanently connected to a rigid coaxial conductor, forming a shaft dimensioned to pass through a hole in a pierced ear. A battery is adapted so as to allow the earring shaft to pass through the center of said battery, and dimensioned so that an electrical and mechanical connection take place when the battery is placed upon the shaft. The battery is also adapted so as to act as the clasp for the earring. Current flow between the LED and the battery takes place when the earring and battery are clasped together.
