  • Publication number: 20040231360
    Abstract: An attractive, decoratively interesting, wearable, light weight jewelry device having illumination and fragrance-emitting features. The preferred form is a brooch having one or more LEDs connected to an electric circuit fed by a micro-battery for a wide range of illumination effects, and more particularly effects where the emitted light flux is controlled and dimmed. The body of the brooch is porous to absorb fragrance essences so it emits any wearer-selected scent. The body has a cavity into which an inter-changeable, sealed light source unit is inserted with the LED projecting through the top face of the brooch. The light circuit preferably includes a chip that provides a wide range of programmed light displays, such as sequences of colors, scintillating, flashing, change in intensity (pulsing) and the like. The light display can be activated by remote control and the LED bezel may be prism shaped or have optical fibers secured thereto.
