Adornment assembly for an article

An adornment assembly for an article, the adornment assembly comprising:

• a base assembly comprising a plurality of layers in stacked relationship that together define a combined thickness,
• the plurality of layers comprising at least:
• a) a first layer with a thickness between oppositely facing first and second surfaces;
• and b) a second layer with a thickness between oppositely facing third and fourth surfaces,
• the first surface to be applied to an exposed surface on an article,
• the base assembly having an exposed surface on one of the plurality of layers that faces oppositely to the first surface;
• a discrete component having a thickness between oppositely facing component surfaces,
• the discrete component applied to the base assembly so that one of the oppositely facing component surfaces is exposed for viewing together with the exposed surface on the one of the plurality of layers on the base assembly,
• the discrete component applied to the base assembly so that at least a part of the thickness of the discrete component resides within the combined thickness of the base assembly,
• wherein the discrete component has a perimeter edge and the adornment assembly further comprises a border bead that surrounds at least part of the perimeter edge of the discrete component and resides at least partially within the combined thickness of the base assembly,
• wherein the one of the plurality of layers having the exposed surface has a receptacle with a shape to at least nominally match the shape of the perimeter edge of the discrete component and so that there is a gap only partially around the perimeter edge of the discrete component with the discrete component in the receptacle into which the border bead is placed.
