Abstract
A magnetic adornment assembly for improving aesthetic appeal of an item, such as a personal or commercial item, consists of top and bottom members which can be reversibly magnetically coupled to one another. The personal or commercial item is placed between concentrically aligned top and bottom members such that magnetic attraction between the members is established, thereby securing the magnetic adornment assembly to the personal or commercial item. A decoration layer is provided on an outer viewable surface of the personal or commercial item and may be ornamental or informational.
