Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of setting precious stones for obtaining jewelry, in particular rings or bracelets garnished with diamonds or other cut precious stones.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a new method for setting gemstones which is simpler and quicker to implement than the conventional method of setting with claws, and which, in addition to the finished jewelry, gives a "stripped down” appearance. ", in perfect correspondence with the current evolution of aesthetics.
  • this process is characterized in that a metal support element with a U-shaped section is produced comprising two lateral bands separated by a central band and defining between them a gutter of width corresponding to that of the stones to be crimp, holes are drilled in each of the side bands separated by a distance corresponding to the dimensions of the stones, the latter are placed side by side in the gutter and a metal wire is passed through the holes in the side bands of the element support by going from one branch to the other on either side of the gutter so as to keep the stones in it.
  • This mode of crimping according to the invention is generally similar to a seam: the stones are, in fact, in a way, sewn into the support element; it is also possible to crimp stone by stone by welding several individual wires similar to pins, which makes it possible to modify or cancel the lateral aspect of the courture; of course, the setting according to the invention can, if necessary, alternate with a conventional setting.
  • This process is particularly suitable for the manufacture of wedding rings garnished on their entire periphery or only on a part of it, of diamonds or precious stones cut with facets, in particular brilliant or cabochons.
  • the support element may not be rigid but be articulated in particular by means of links.
  • the use of this process can, of course, also be considered for the creation of costume jewelry.
  • the two lateral bands are parallel, the holes in these two bands correspond two by two on a perpendicular or a diagonal common to these.
  • This configuration is the most frequently used according to the invention; we could, also, provide in the case of earrings, pendants or costume jewelry ..., two bands going in an angular widening, separated by stones whose size is increasing; in this case, it is necessary that the holes in the strips correspond in pairs on axes of the same direction, in particular parallel to the bisector plane of the two strips.
  • the metal wire therefore describes a more or less deformed "sinusoid" around the stones and at the front of the stones to keep them in the gutter. It is easy to conceive that, in the manner of a conventional seam, this thread projects on the external faces of the lateral bands at the places corresponding to the "points" on the intervals situated between the holes.
  • grooves are hollowed out between the holes in the lateral strips of the support element, one in two of the intervals between the holes being underlined by a groove.
  • the central strip of the support element comprises perforations provided at the rear part of the stones, in particular their breech, in order to allow their updating.
  • the process according to the invention can, of course, be used for the manufacture of costume jewelry; it has, however, proven to be particularly suitable for the manufacture of precious jewelry in which the support element and the wire are made of a metal chosen from the group consisting of gold, silver and platinum while precious stones are diamonds, emeralds, rubies or sapphires.
  • the section of the wire can be arbitrary without departing from the scope of the invention: it is most often circular.
  • the invention also relates to a jewel obtained by the implementation of the above-mentioned method.
  • This jewel is characterized in that it is constituted by a metallic support element in particular in a precious metal with U-shaped section, comprising two side bands separated by a central band and defining between them a gutter in which take place precious stones placed side by side which are held laterally by the side bands and towards the front, thanks to a metal wire in particular of a precious metal placed in holes drilled in the latter passing on either side of the gutter.
  • This jewel can be any without departing from the scope of the invention and being constituted by earrings, pendants, bracelets, necklaces ...
  • This jewel is, however, very frequently constituted by an alliance surrounded completely or partially by small diamonds or precious stones.
  • This jewel corresponds to a rigid bracelet totally or partially surrounded by diamonds or precious stones. In this case, it is necessary to provide it, on the one hand, with a hinge and, on the other hand, with closing elements allowing it to be put in place.
  • the metal wire is welded either on itself (closed annular jewel) or on the support element in order to carry out the final maintenance of the jewel.
  • the precious stones 1 cut in brilliants garnishing the alliance according to the invention are mounted on an annular support element 2 with a U-shaped section comprising two lateral annular bands 20 and 21 separated by a central annular band 3 comprising perforations 4 provided at the level of the breech of the stones 1 in order to allow their updating so that they can shine with all their brilliance.
  • the width a of the central strip 3 corresponds to that of the stones 1.
  • This strip 3 cooperates with the lateral strips 20 and 21 of the support element 2 to define a gutter 6 in which the stones 1 are placed side by side.
  • the stones 1 are therefore retained laterally by the bands 20 and 21.
  • the bands 20 and 21 are pierced with holes 5 corresponding from one band to another, and separated by a distance b corresponding to the dimensions of the brilliants 1.
  • holes 5 are used for the installation on either side of the gutter 6 of a metal wire 7 which describes a deformed "sinusoid" projecting from the external face of the bands 20 and 21 by points 8 similar to those of a seam.
  • Figure 1 shows the wire 7 being laid. Not shown thereon, when the latter has been placed over the entire periphery of the annular support element 2, it is welded to itself by its ends 9 in order to maintain the ring set. It is easy to imagine that the brilliants 1 are then perfectly maintained inside the gutter 6.
  • grooves 10 are provided on the external face of the lateral bands 20 and 21 at the location of the points 8, in order to prevent the wire 7 from projecting outwards and therefore improve the aesthetics of the together. These grooves 10 are of course offset from one side strip 20, 21 to the other to correspond each time to the top of the sinusoid described by the wire 7.
  • the ring shown in the figure can, as well, be made of a precious metal as constituted by a costume jewel.
  • the invention can also be applied to an alliance comprising two rows of stones 1 and 1 '.
  • the stones 1 of a bracelet are held forward either by a single wire 7 "sewn" or by separate son 70 forming pins which are individually welded to the side branches 20 and 21 of the support element 2 with U-shaped section.
