An article of functional jewelry includes a magnetically responsive substrate with front and back surfaces, a bend dividing the substrate into first and second substantially planar regions, and a holding device. A magnet holds the article in position by sandwiching a piece of fabric between the magnet and the substrate. The holding device may include an aperture penetrating the first region forming a loop that supports an object such as a pair of eyeglasses or a scarf.

1. A method of securing an object to a section of fabric, the method comprising: providing an article of functional jewelry, the article comprising: a keeper including: an attachment segment having a first planar substrate including opposed first front and first back surfaces and a first edge, the first substrate including a magnetically responsive material;a holder segment having a second planar substrate including opposed second front and second back surfaces and an elongated aperture, the holder segment joined to the attachment segment along the first edge, the second substrate disposed at an angle to the first substrate, and the major axis of the aperture disposed perpendicularly to the first edge; anda retainer magnetically coupled to the keeper;inserting a portion of the object through the aperture; andplacing the section of fabric between the back surface and the retainer. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the second substrate forms a monolithic extension of the first substrate. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first front surface is disposed toward the second front surface, the first front surface having an area of roughened textured. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the aperture includes an ellipse, an oval, or a polygon with rounded corners. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the major axis of the aperture measures between about 0.5 inches and about 1.125 inches and the ratio of the minor axis of the aperture to the major axis is about 0.5 to about 1.0. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the aperture is disposed along the midline of the second substrate. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the midline of the first substrate intersects the midline of the second substrate at the first edge. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the retainer is smaller in extent than the first substrate. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the angle is between about 130 degrees and about 175 degrees. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the angle is about 160 degrees. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the article further comprises an ornament and the method further comprises affixing the ornament to the first front surface. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the object is a scarf, wherein the section of fabric is a portion of a garment, and wherein the step of inserting a portion of the object through the aperture includes threading one of a free end of the scarf or a fold of the scarf through the aperture. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the object is a scarf, and wherein the section of fabric is disposed near the shoulder portion of a garment, and wherein the step of inserting a portion of the object through the aperture includes threading a first free end of the scarf through the aperture from the front surface and a second free end of the scarf through the aperture from the back surface, the method further comprising draping the first free end of the scarf toward the front of the garment and the second free end of the scarf toward the back of the garment. 14. A method of securing an object to a section of fabric, the method comprising: providing an article of functional jewelry, the article comprising: a keeper including: a magnetically susceptible substrate including front and back surfaces;a bend dividing the substrate into first and second regions, the first region and the second region substantially planar; andan aperture penetrating the substrate in the first region,wherein the first region includes a border surrounding a portion of the aperture, the width of the border less than about twice the thickness of the substratea retainer magnetically coupled to the keeper;inserting a portion of the object through the aperture; andplacing the section of fabric between the back surface and the retainer. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the front surface of the first area has a smooth texture and the front surface in the second region has a rough texture. 16. The method of claim 14, further comprising a retainer magnetically coupled to the back surface, the retainer smaller in area and extent than the second region, wherein at least one of the back surface and the retainer has an area of roughened texture.
