Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus to attach and secure an ornament or decorative accessory to an item, comprising:
 An adjustable clip comprising three sections, a first end, a second end, and a middle section;
 The adjustable clip being a singular continuous piece of malleable material with magnetic properties and having a constant thickness throughout its length from the first end to the second end; and 
   A decorative linking element comprising a magnetic component held within a decorative housing of the decorative linking element and having an exposed side, a connector attached to the decorative linking disposed on the decorative housing, the connector configured to connect to an ornamental device;   Wherein the adjustable clip is configured to be magnetically attached to the decorative housing and wrapped around the item for display of the ornament or the decorative accessory.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the decorative linking element is configured to magnetically attach to the adjustable clip at any portion from the first end to the second. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the connector is located at any position on the surface of the decorative housing. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the connector is one of a hook, a loop, a hole, or a post. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the connector is a hook. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the connector is a loop. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the connector is a hole. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the connector is a post. 
     
     
         9 . An apparatus to attach and secure an ornament or decorative accessory to an item, comprising:
 A base support that attaches to the item;
 A base support that is an adjustable clip comprising three sections, a first end, a second end, and a middle section;
 The adjustable clip being a singular continuous piece of malleable material with magnetic properties and having a constant thickness throughout its length from the first end to the second end; 
 
 A base support that is an adjustable clip with ledge comprising three sections, a first end, a second end, and a middle section;
 The adjustable clip with ledge being a singular continuous piece of malleable material with magnetic properties and having a constant thickness through the length of the middle section to the second end and having a slightly thicker section of ledge that extends perpendicularly to the plane of the clip at the outermost circumference at the first end; 
 
 A base support that is a pin with ledge comprising a pointed end that tapers and a top end with ledge; 
 A base support that is a suction cup with ledge comprising a round flexible end capable of a vacuum seal and a top end with ledge; 
   A decorative linking element comprising a magnetic component held within a decorative housing of the decorative linking element and having an exposed side, a connector attached to the decorative linking disposed on the decorative housing, the connector configured to connect to an ornamental device;   Wherein the support base is configured to be magnetically attached to the decorative housing and wrapped around, inserted into, and/or vacuum sealed to the item for display of the ornament or the decorative accessory.   
     
     
         10 . A base support pin as defined in  claim 9 , wherein said pin is a singular continuous piece of material with magnetic properties. 
     
     
         11 . A base support suction cup as defined in  claim 9 , wherein said suction cup comprises at first end a flexible material capable of maintaining a vacuum seal and at second end a piece of material with magnetic properties. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the connector is a U-shaped or a-shaped latch. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the connector is a U-shaped or a-shaped latch. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the decorative linking element comprises two parts;
 The decorative housing of the decorative linking element and having an exposed side, a connector attached to the decorative linking disposed on the decorative housing, the connector configured to connect to an ornamental device,   The magnetic housing of the decorative linking element and having the exposed magnetic side, a connector attached to the decorative linking disposed magnetic housing, the connector configured to connect to an ornamental device,   The decorative housing and the magnetic housing configured to connect at the connector through an ornamental device.   
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the connector is a corresponding post and sleeve disposed on the decorative housing and the magnetic housing. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the connector is a corresponding post and sleeve disposed on the decorative housing and the magnetic housing. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the corresponding post and sleeve have corresponding ridges and grooves. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein the corresponding post and sleeve have corresponding ridges and grooves.
