Wearable Jewels (?)
Gustave Trouvé, French engineer, developed a set of wearable electrical jewels for the performers in 1884. Trouvé custom built a portable accumulator for the performer’s costume on almost half a kilo, and built incandescent light bulbs into a design of colored glass to create an effect of sparkling jewels.
The electrical jewels soon became a commercial commodity, but it was only in the larger cities where the user could charge the accumulator. The power supply lasted for only 30 minutes. http://nfttu.blogspot.com/2006/12/how-come-ive-never-heard-of-gustav.html
