Abstract
A multi-facetted translucent ball surrounds a lamp which is suspended from an earring clip by a flexible tubular metal shaft which has a wire running there through. The earring clip is U-shaped and has a pair of opposed legs which are spread resiliently apart when the clip is engaged on ear with the lobe between the legs. One leg carries, connected to the wire, a cup for holding a wafer battery. A U-shaped support secured to the clip carries a contact opposite the cup in a position so that the cup is urged toward the contact for engaging opposite terminals of the battery upon spreading of the clip.
