Abstract: A bracelet or other type of body jewelry, such as a necklace, an anklet, a belly chain, or earrings, secures the canopy of the umbrella, parasol, or personal sunshade in place and closed when not in use. A method of closure eliminates the need for snaps, straps, Velcro, buttons, etc. on the umbrella's canopy. The user slides the bracelet, or other type of body jewelry, onto the canopy to keep the canopy closed, and slides the jewelry off of the canopy and puts it on their wrist, or other body part, when they want to open and use the umbrella, parasol, or personal sunshade.
