RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is based upon provisional application Ser. No. 60/459,461 dated Apr. 1, 2003, and claims benefit under 35 USC 119 (e). This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 10/813,981 filed Mar. 31, 2004 and claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 120 therefrom. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to thin, versatile fragrant emitting cover layers for jewelry, including earrings, necklaces, and the like. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Applicant's prior U.S. Pat. No. 6,162,457 describes a fragrance emitting pad, which has an adhesive side adhered to the inside of clothing and a fragrance emitting side in contact with the wearer's skin. The fragrance emitting side mingles with surface skin oils to create a unique subtle fragrance in the vicinity of the skin. [0004] Moreover, U.S. Pat. No. 6,234,118 of Lahens describes a layer of porous material such as polymer foam, foam rubber, or felt that has been impregnated with fragrance oils. [0005] Fragrant scents are known to be applied to surfaces by applying powder with appropriate binders. An alternate method is to use a printing technique to apply fragrance oils to the top surface of an object. [0006] In addition, U.S. Pat. No. 6,458,754 of Velazquez describes encapsulating fragrant oils into tiny beads in a time release mechanism, to be applied to a surface. [0007] Fragrant earrings are typically in the form of hollow containers having a fragrance-emitting liquid or a shaped mass of solid fragrant-emitting material therein, which results in a bulky configuration of the earring. [0008] Among related patents for container-type fragrant earrings include U.S. Pat. No. 1,267,067 of Flagg, which discloses an earring with a piece of perfume saturated cotton mass within a container. In addition, U.S. Pat. No. 1,625,375 of Reyes describes an earring with a liquid containing vial therein. [0009] U.S. Pat. No. 2,058,274 of Vivaudou describes an earring with a piece of perfume saturated extract cake mass therein. U.S. Pat. No. 2,109,092 of Roll describes a jewelry trinket comprising a small circular container piece with a perfume saturated absorbent pad therein. It could be used as an earring. [0010] U.S. Pat. No. 2,471,949 of Gilowitz describes an earring with a hollow spherical container with perfume, having solid wicks ending in floral designs. U.S. Pat. No. 2,550,828 of Lawson describes an earring with a pad having perfume saturated therein. [0011] U.S. Pat. No. 2,564,860 of Ryberg describes a hollow container piece of jewelry with a fragrance soaked pad therein. U.S. Pat. No. 2,740,662 of Scott discloses a hinged, operable earring with an inner chamber to hold a perfume saturated pad therein. [0012] U.S. Pat. No. 3,270,525 of Sellers discloses an earring that has a vial container portion dispensing perfume. U.S. Pat. No. 4,056,951 of Black discloses an earring for pierced ears with a post, wherein the earring has a perfume filled chamber. Moreover, U.S. Pat. No. 4,159,631 of Lee describes a hollow container earring with a chamber for perfume soaked gauze wicks therein. [0013] U.S. Pat. No. 4,452,052 of Hodge discloses an earring container that has a variable operable lid to allow different strengths of fragrances to be emitted therefrom. [0014] U.S. Pat. No. 4,785,642 of Chin discloses a light glittering earring container with a canister that also emits a fragrance. U.S. Pat. No. 5,031,419 of Gelman discloses an earring container formed by a sandwich of two disks holding a fragrance emitting member therebetween. [0015] Furthermore, U.S. Pat. No. 5,765,751 of Joshi discloses a thin walled earring with a container, having a fragrance saturated membrane covered by a peel-off release tape. [0016] The aforementioned fragrant earrings generally require hollow containers, such as a vial or cage, for holding a fragrant emitting liquid or pad therein. [0017] U.S. Pat. No. 5,460,787 of Colon describes an earring cut out from a relatively rigid, but flexible, scented card of between one thirty second and three sixteenths of an inch in thickness, which can be used as an earring. [0018] Furthermore, U.S. Pat. No. 4,750,284 of Parry describes an agricultural ear-worn tag for farm animals, such as cows or pigs, which includes a scent such as a pesticide or fragrance. It states that it is applicable also to humans. However, the ear-worn tag is meant to be permanently attached to the ear, with a detachable portion for replacing fragrant emitting elements therefrom. [0019] In addition, Applicant owns United States Design Pat. No. Des. 411,899 for a necklace which can be worn as a hairpiece. However, such a hairpiece is made of an inelastic string of beads, which means that if the hairpiece is short in length, the hairpiece may be tight around the head, and if it is long and loose, it results in a very long necklace draped around the chest, not a shorter necklace worn around the neck. In addition, the hairpiece/necklace described therein includes a decorative medallion, which interrupts the continuous hairpiece/necklace string of beads. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION [0020] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide jewelry with one or more thin, closely adhering fragrance emitting cover layers thereon.
