Abstract An ornament which may be worn on the neck, arm, waist, etc., and which employs light which may be electroluminescent, incandescent, or fluorescent. The ornament itself is constructed out of battery material which provides the electrical power for illumination; the surface of the ornament is provided with light sources or light emitting devices and connections are provided for energizing the sources. In an alternative embodiment the light sources are internal to the ornament and fiber optics guide the light from the source to the ornaments outer surface.
