Description

The invention relates to a piece of jewelry with a socket that holds a first stone that has a brilliant cut and second ground stones that are arranged around the first stone and smaller than the first stone holds. A piece of jewelry with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1 is known from US 2009/0056376 A1 known.

A similar piece of jewelry is from the IL 25705 as well as from the GB 204,926A known. By means of the second stones, which are arranged in a ring around the first stone, the visual impression of a diamond is to be created which is larger than the first stone.

From the US 7546749 B1 is known a piece of jewelry that has a series of larger stones between two rows of smaller stones. The rows are staggered so that a smaller stone is adjacent two larger stones each. The rows of smaller stones also contain stubs, which are arranged alternately with the smaller stones.

From the US 2008/0104995 A1 Jewelery are known in which stones in a row ring, heart of the cross-shaped are arranged. Between adjacent stones Stotzen are arranged, of which the stones are held.

Object of the present invention is to show a way how even better the visual impression of a diamond can be produced that is larger than the stones used for the piece of jewelry.

This object is achieved by a piece of jewelry with the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.

The second stones of a piece of jewelery according to the invention act on an observer like additional facets of the centrally arranged first stone of the piece of jewelery. This optical effect is based, on the one hand, on the fact that the panels of the second stones, like facets of the first stone, are inclined outwards with respect to the panel of the first stone. On the other hand, between each stub, which are arranged in a piece of jewelry according to the invention in each case between two adjacent second stones and the first stone. in each case a distance, so that the stones can abut each other between the stumps or only by a gap whose optical effect is negligible, are separated from each other. Between the stumps, light can pass through, giving the impression of a large stone.

The stumps of the version of a piece of jewelry according to the invention make it possible to arrange the second stones adjacent to the first stone, so that the boundaries between the individual stones are barely perceptible to an untrained observer.

Preferably, the first stone protrudes with its board beyond the second stones. This means that the panel of the first stone is located at a greater height than the panels of the second stones. In the context of the present invention, the height is the direction perpendicular to the panel of the first stone. The height thus increases in the direction from the top of the first stone to its panel.

By placing the panel of the first stone above the panels of the second stones, one can enhance the impression that the panels of the second stones are facets of the first stone. In this case, it is particularly preferred that the tablet facets of the first stone adjoining the panel are located completely above the second stones. In this way, a particularly large viewing angle can be reached under which the fire of the first stone can be perceived by a viewer.

According to the invention, the sheets of the second bricks are at least partially arranged above the slat of the first brick. By having the sheets of the second bricks at least partially at a greater height than the slat of the first brick, it is advantageous to enhance the impression that the sheets of the second bricks are facets of a top of the larger brick. It is particularly advantageous to arrange the panels of the second stones completely above the Rundist of the first stone.

A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the second stones each have a Rundist, which is at least partially below a geometric plane in which the Rundist of the first stone is located, is arranged. For the visual impression of a diamond whose upper part, ie lying above the Rundiste part, authoritative. As the crest of the second stones also extends below the plane of the crest of the first stone, the top of the first stone is widened optically not only in diameter but also in height. This contributes particularly to creating the visual impression of a much larger stone. The crest of the second stones is preferably located with the majority of its circumference below the geometric plane of the crest of the first stone. It is advantageous, in particular, when the plane of the round strip of the first stone cuts the round strips of the second stones. In itself, it is also possible, the To arrange roundists of the second stones completely below the level of the round of the first stone.

A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the panels of the second stones with the panel of the first stone each include an angle which is smaller than the upper part angle of the first stone. The top angle of a diamond is the angle enclosed by a line leading from the edge of the board to the girdle and the plane of the girdle. By making the angle between the panels of the second stones and the panel of the first stone smaller than the top angle, the visual impression can be enhanced that the panels of the second stones are facets of the first stone. Preferably, the angle between the panels of the second stones and the panel of the first stone is between one third and two thirds of the top angle.

Preferably, the panels of the second stones are inclined relative to the panel of the first stone by an angle which deviates at most by 10 °, preferably at most 5 °, in particular at most 3 °, from the angle at which the panel facets of the first stone opposite inclined to it adjacent panel. It is particularly advantageous if the panels of the second stones are inclined at the same angle as the panel facets of the first stone with respect to the panel of the first stone. In this way, the panels of the second stones are particularly advantageous as facets of a larger stone.

The stumps of a piece of jewelry according to the invention can be adapted in their color to the color of the stones. For colorless or nearly colorless stones, metal surfaces with a light, silvery-white luster are particularly advantageous. For example, surfaces of platinum metals are well suited. In particular, rhodinated stubs can hardly be perceived by colorless or almost colorless stones by an untrained observer. For stones with a yellowish hue, such as Fancy Diamonds, it may be advantageous to give the stumps through a gold-bearing surface a yellowish color.

The stubs may be formed, for example, as cylindrical pins. Preferably, however, the stumps have a triangular cross-section. But is particularly advantageous a triangular cross section with three convex curved sides. In this way, the space between two adjacent second stones and the first stone can be filled to a very large extent and so the impression of a single large stone can be further improved.

According to the invention, the first stone in a piece of jewelery according to the invention is arranged in the center of a ring formed by eight to sixteen second stones.

With a smaller number of second stones, there are relatively large gaps between two adjacent second stones and the first stone, so that correspondingly larger footprints are needed, larger footprints are visually easier to perceive and therefore disturb the illusion of a larger stone. If more than sixteen second stones are arranged around the first stone, these second stones are necessarily relatively small, so that the optical magnification of the first stone is correspondingly smaller. Particularly advantageous are 10 to 15, especially 12 to 14 second stones surrounding the first stone.

A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the socket has a central opening, in which the first stone sits, and the central opening annularly surrounding further openings in which the second stones sit has. The openings may be formed as blind holes or as openings of a disc. In this way, the insertion of the stones in the socket can be facilitated.

The first stone preferably has a brilliant cut, but in itself may also have a simpler cut with fewer facets than diamonds usually available. The second stones preferably also have a brilliant cut.

Further details and advantages of the invention will be explained with reference to embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. Show it:

1 a schematic representation of the arrangement of the stones in an embodiment of a piece of jewelry according to the invention in a plan view;

2 a side view too 1 ;

3 an embodiment of a socket for stones of in 1 shown arrangement.

In the 1 and 2 is schematically an arrangement of a first stone 1 and surrounding second stones 2 represented, which produces the visual impression of a larger stone. The first and second stones 1 . 2 can in the in 1 illustrated arrangement with in 3 presented version are held.

The version 3 has a central opening for the first stone 1 and the central opening surrounding further openings 4 for the second stones 2 , All openings are formed in the illustrated embodiment as openings in a disk.

To hold the stones 1 . 2 rejects the text 3 Stotzen 5 on that too in 1 are shown and in each case between two adjacent second stones 2 and the first stone 1 are arranged. The stumps 5 preferably have a triangular cross-section with bulged sides. In this way, the spaces between adjacent second stones 2 and the first stone 1 be filled out very well.

The version 3 can additional positioning elements 6 have the outside between two adjacent second stones 2 intervention.

The stones of the jewelry are preferably diamonds. But you can also use other stones. The stumps 5 are preferably rhodium-plated. The stumps 5 For example, they can be made of rhodium-plated white gold. Rhodinated stumps 5 have the advantage that they are virtually unnoticeable between colorless or largely colorless stones with untrained eye.

The centrally located first stone 1 has a brilliant cut. Preferably, this is a modern diamond, which is often referred to as a full diamond. Tolkowski Brillant, Ideal Brilliant, Parker Brilliant, Scandinavian Standard Brilliant or the so-called fine sanding of the practice are for example against the brilliant cuts.

A stone with a modern brilliant cut has an upper part and a lower part with an intervening round list. The top has at least 32 facets in addition to a blackboard. The lower part at least 24 facets. The facets adjacent to the board are called board facets. One main facet stretches between two tablet facets. The Rundiste can connect upper Rundistfacetten, which border on Hauptfacetten.

The second stones 2 can also have a brilliant cut. However, this is not necessary. Because of their smaller size, the second stones can 2 also fewer facets, as required for a modern brilliant cut. The second stones also have a blackboard and a round list.

The whiteboard 2a the second stones 2 is in relation to the blackboard 1a of the first stone 1 tilted outwards. The boards 2a the second stones 2 can do it with the blackboard 1a of the first stone 1 Include angles between 10 ° and 30 °, in particular between 15 ° and 25 °. It is preferred that the panels 2a the second stones 2 with the blackboard 1a of the first stone 1 each include an angle smaller than the top angle of the first stone 1 is preferably between one third and two thirds of the top angle.

The first stone 1 sticks out with his blackboard 1a over the second stones 2 out. Preferably, most of the height of the top is above the second stones. The blackboard facets 1b of the first stone 1 Therefore, in the illustrated embodiment are completely above the second stones 2 ,

The boards 2a the second stones 2 can be completely above the girdle of the first stone 1 be arranged like this in 2 is shown. The boards 2a the second stones 2 extend in the illustrated embodiment, ie between the height of the round list of the first stone 1 and the lower end of the tablet facets 1b ,

To create the impression of a single large stone, it is advantageous if the plane of the first stone is round 1 the roundists of the second stones 2 cuts. The bottom of the list is in 2 represented by a line R.

The boards 2a the second stones 2 close with the blackboard 1a of the first stone and thus also with the plane R of the round list an angle, which in the illustrated embodiment coincides with the angle that the panel facets 1b of the first stone 1 with the R level of the list or the blackboard 1a lock in.

In the illustrated embodiment are annular around the first stone 1 fourteen second stones 2 arranged. But it can also readily a larger or smaller number of second stones 2 be used. The second stones used for a piece of jewelry 2 are preferably the same, so they are approximately the same size and preferably also the same cut. Preferably, the sizes of the second stones differ 2 less than 10%, preferably less than 5%, in particular less than 2%. The second stones 2 can be the first stone 1 touch. It is also possible that between the second stones 2 and the first stone 1 there is a small gap. The width of such a gap should be at most one tenth, preferably at most one twentieth of the diameter of the circular list of a second stone 1 be.
