Benefits of technology

The present invention is a decorative button attachment device that includes a frame and a decorative element. The frame has elongated posts that match the shape and size of the button's apertures. The decorative element can be a jewel or other decorative element with an orientation-dependent marking. The elongated posts can be easily positioned within the button's apertures and engaged with a fastener. Connectors secure the decorative element to the frame in a removable manner. The technical effects of this invention include a simple and easy way to attach decorative elements to clothing buttons.

Problems solved by technology

Although such items have been met with great commercial success, clothing accessories such as broaches and decorative pins, for example, that are geared toward similar purposes have not enjoyed the same level of commercial success.
Among the many reasons given for why consumers do not like to wear such items are 1) the prong of the pin makes a hole in the clothing which causes damage to the fabric, 2) decorative pins feel awkward to wear, and causes the weight of the clothing to be unevenly distributed, and 3) decorative pins often twist / rotate which causes images on the pin to appear sideways or upside down.
