EM necklace



Hello. This list is the only place I can really figure
out where I might find an answer to my question...
I created conceptual jewelry of electromagnetism,
one of which is meant to be an experiment of sorts.
It it is bead necklace with a metal wire and copper
clasp, around which are strung amber beads, felt,
and magnetite (magnetic hematite, though act as
a magnet so maybe it is not natural). in any case,
there is an image at the following, one has a few
pieces of jewelry, the other just a necklace image:

In any case, to me this combination of electrostatic
amber (and felt which it rubs against in movement)
and thus may build up a charge, and also magnetic
beads which are strung along side these and also
move about the shared wire -- is 'electromagnetism'
by way of combining 1-100 million year old amber
with 30+million (?) y.o. lodestone, and it was my
guess that on some micro-scale that these may be
interacting in some way with the share wire while
jostling about on a necklace-- that is, EM fields and
possibly some changes in the properties of the wire
which holds it all together. Thus, it is speculation
yet seems also a reasonable assumption, though
how to measure this with equipment (basically, a
cheap multimeter) seems out of the question. Any
ideas on the validity of this concept, and if there is
any way it may be investigated should the chance
someday arrive? I think of this in the same way as
the generation of electricity through movement by
humans, such as with piezo sensors in sneakers.
Maybe such a jewelry could produce micro-power
just by moving about. Curious about all of this.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. brian
