1 . Article holding jewelry apparatus comprising:
 an elongated flexible member having two end portions;   a jewelry member having an ornamental surface on one side thereof and having a first magnetic holding cup on a second side thereof, said magnetic holding cup having a permanent magnet mounted therein with a first polarity side facing outward and said jewelry member having a clamp having one end of said elongated flexible member clamped therein;   a second magnet holding cup has a second permanent magnet mounted therein with a second polarity side facing outward and has a clamp having the other end of said elongated flexible member clamped therein thereby flexible connecting said jewelry member and said second magnet holding cup together;   whereby a jewelry member can be attached to clothing with said first and second magnets attached on either side of a piece of clothing with a decorative surface being displayed on the clothing while allowing an article to be held to said clothing on said elongated flexible member.   
   
   
       2 . The article holding jewelry apparatus in accordance with  claim 1  in which said jewelry member clamp has a malleable metal section clamped onto one end of said elongated flexible member. 
   
   
       3 . The article holding jewelry apparatus in accordance with  claim 2  in which said second magnet holding cup clamp has a malleable metal section clamped onto the other end of said elongated flexible member. 
   
   
       4 . The article holding jewelry apparatus in accordance with  claim 3  in which said elongated flexible member is a metal jewelry chain. 
   
   
       5 . The article holding jewelry apparatus in accordance with  claim 3  in which said elongated flexible member is a flexible cord. 
   
   
       6 . The article holding jewelry apparatus in accordance with  claim 2  in which said first and second magnet holding cup clamps each has an opening in one side thereof with malleable metal bridge extending there across pressed onto said elongated flexible member. 
   
   
       7 . The article holding jewelry apparatus in accordance with  claim 1  in which said first and second magnets are rare earth magnets. 
   
   
       8 . A process for holding an article to a person's clothing comprising the steps of:
 selecting a clothing attaching member having an elongated flexible member having two ends, one end thereof being clamped to a jewelry member having a decorative surface on one side thereof and having a first magnet holding cup on a second side thereof, said magnetic holding cup having a permanent magnet mounted therein with a first polarity side facing outward, said elongated flexible member other end being clamped to a second magnet holding cup having a second permanent magnet mounted therein with a second polarity side facing outward therefrom to flexibly connect said jewelry member and said second magnet holding cup together;   removably attaching said clothing attaching member to a person's clothing with said first and second magnets placed on opposite sides of the clothing adjacent each other to magnetically hold said first and second magnets to a person's clothing; and   removably attaching an article to said elongated flexible member;   whereby a jewelry member is removably attached to a person's clothing and an article removably supported thereon.
