LED inspirations, LEDs

incorporating LED to jewelry can add the elements of surprise and the uniqueness of the design. However, there might be the risk of making the jewelry into Halloween costume decoration. The design and the choice o color is very important.

Alternative of LED would be luminous(glow in the dark) materials which does not need electricity.  We have seen it during concert, Halloweens, Christmas, etc.

The magic behind this?:

quote from Boredpanda.com:

“The secret to her magical touch? Richard applies luminous phosphorescent paint to each piece, which creates a turquoise glow when ‘charged’. The phosphorescent paint is charged by being held under a lamp for a few minutes or in the sun for a few hours.”

If this paint can be used, it solves the problem of hiding battery and wire, reducing the bulkiness of the product, and the lighting parts can be more specifically chosen and drawn.
