Small power source

I was planning to make LED jewelery, but would need a very small power source.
In the best case it could be powered by the body's movement.

Is there anything small enough to bit on a wrist, yet can power about 10 LEDs?

you could use a charging system like in "Shake it like a Tic-Tac"

although, there is some debate in the comments about how to wind the coil, how much to wind, etc.
