Abstract
A fiber optic tail for a jewelry clasp is coupled to the light-emitting diode by a piece of stretchable and shrinkable tubing. A symbol or legend is inscribed on the tail ribbon such that light is emitted around an edge of the symbol to illuminate the symbol. In a second embodiment, a backlit symbol in a fiber optic ribbon is seen through a window in a cover, which may be decorated.
