Abstract
Abstract It is a self-shining artificial jewelry device, which mainly comprises a piece of artificial jewel having a cavity, an illuminating element being mounted inside the cavity, of which the inner surface is furnished with a plurality of facets. The outer facets of the artificial jewel are coated with a colored coating. When the illuminating element is lighted up, the light will be reflected repeatedly through the inner facets, the outer facets, and the colored coating to generate a brilliant and splendid shining; this jewelry device may be used to replace the expensive jewels and the natural crystal elements, which are deemed to have poor shining result.
