An apparatus for illuminating shoes and fashion accessories includes a
fiber optic cable, a clasp and a control circuit. The fiber optic cable
has a first coupling point and a second coupling point. The clasp has a
housing, a retention mechanism, a first connector and a second connector.
The first connector is configured to couple to the first coupling point
and the second connector is configured to couple to the second coupling
point of the fiber optic cable. The control circuit is disposed within
the housing and has a power source and at least one illuminating device.
The illuminating device is optically coupled to one or both of the first
and second connectors in order to illuminate at least a portion of the
fiber optic cable with light. At least one of the clasp and the
illuminating device is removable to permit interchangeable selectivity of
the color of the illuminating light.
