TITLE
A method for setting a precious stone in a domed, collet style, setting, secured on a thin walled metal jewelry model.
BACKGROUND OF THE ART
Presently the jewelry industry uses three methods to set precious stones in jewelry models, each of which, has limitations as described herewith.
The first method, called bead setting, consists of drilling an angled hole in the model's surface then placing the stone in the hole so that the undersurface of the stone's conical shape rests on the angle of the model's hole and serves in preventing the loss of the stone through the bottom surface of the model, this is followed by using a sharp steel graver tool to raise small beads of metal from the model's surface that are then forced over the girdle of the stone and serves to prevent the loss of the stone through the top surface of the model.
The second method called collet setting is similar to bead setting but instead of raising beads of metal a collet shaped of metal is raised then forced over the girdle of the stone.
Each of the above methods require a sufficient thickness of model metal to provide for the beads or collets.
The third method requires providing expendable or metal setting findings, securing them on the model's surface prior to or following casting the model in metal and involves the added cost of the findings, a soldering step and costly labour.
All three of the above methods require work by highly skilled jewelers and stone setters, whereas the invention can be performed by personnel of limited skills and produce vastly superior finished and more secure results.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for setting a precious stone in a domed, collet style, setting part, secured on the surface of a thin walled, metal jewelry model.
According to one feature of the present invention is that of providing a thin walled, expendable, castable in metal, jewelry model.
According to another feature of the present invention is that of piercing the model with a predetermined size and location hole.
According to another feature of the present invention is that of providing an expendable, castable in metal, domed, collet style setting of a predetermined size that includes an angled cut step converging upward from the undersurface of the collet setting part.
According to another feature of the present invention is that of providing and bonding onto the undersurface of the collet setting part a series of expendable, castable in metal, inverted 'L' shaped stone setting members, with the shorter leg of each 'L' shape extending radially outward from the periphery of the angled cut step on the undersurface of the collet setting part with the longer leg of each 'L' shape extending perpendicularly downward with the intersection point of the two legs located adjacent to the periphery of the angled cut step on the underside of the collet style stone setting part.
According to another feature of the present invention is that of applying and bonding the collet setting part with the series of 'L' shaped setting members over the pierced hole in the model.
