Abrégé

Selectively attachable ornaments are shown and described. The ornaments comprise a male and a female component which are attachable to one another from opposite sides of an opening through an article, such as a shoe, clothing, pursue, handbag, backpack, etc. In one example, the male component includes s a shaft with a beveled engagement portion, and the female component includes two spaced apart semi-cylindrical legs with a radially inward flange or lip that defines an opening into which the male component engagement portion is inserted during an attachment operation. The beveled engagement portion has at least one location where its diameter exceeds that of the opening between the radial inward flange/lip of each semi-cylindrical leg. In another example, the female component is a cylinder with one or more circumferential cut-out sections along a port of its length and an annular opening for receiving the male component's engagement portion. The male component has a beveled engagement portion with at least one section having a diameter greater than that of the annular opening. When the male component is snap-fittingly engaged to the female component, an audible “pop” sound is emitted by the elastic deformation and relaxation of the engagement portion.
