  • Patent number: 5713080
    Abstract: A clothing ornamentation device and method for decorating the upper torso area of an individual wearing a garment. The device includes a securement element that attaches to the upper back portion of a wearer's garment and allows the attachment and support of strands and ornaments to the strands. The weight of the ornaments produces a bias on the strands, so that the ornamentation may be draped over the user's upper chest area, where they will rest while being supported by the strands. The device allows variation of number and composition of the ornaments as well as the strands. The device attaches to back portion of wearer's garment near the neck area of the garment. This allows the draping or incorporation of ornaments that may be used to decorate the back of the user's garment as well.
