Definitions

  • the invention relates to a decorated natural or artificial pearl with an integrated Decorative element and process for its manufacture.
  • decorative elements jewelry or gemstones in particular are provided, but they also come Parts made of other materials, e.g. wood, glass, plexiglass, etc. into consideration.
  • Pearls from shells have always been a popular and sought-after item of jewelry and since the start of pearl farming around 100 years ago, an independent pearl market has developed that plays an important role in the jewelry industry.
  • those that have an ideal or an almost ideal spherical shape and a uniformly shaped spherical surface have always been preferred and consequently the highest traded.
  • it often happens that a pearl has a so-called "open spot”.
  • the core which the breeder had inserted into the shell or which got into it naturally, was not evenly coated with mother-of-pearl by the shell, but in one or more places none or only a relatively very thin one Layer of mother-of-pearl deposited, so that there were more or less deep pits of various shapes and areas.
  • These "imperfect""vacancies" on pearls are generally regarded as flaws and significantly reduce the quality and thus the market value of the pearls concerned.
  • pearls are diverse and also includes the combination of pearl (s) with gemstones (s). Such combinations are usually additions, ie a juxtaposition of pearl (s) and gem (s), pearl (s) and gem (s) each separate, independent components of a brooch, a chain, a bracelet , Rings or any other piece of jewelry.
  • decorated pearl the pearl is provided with a radial blind hole, and a gem set in metal is cemented into this hole.
  • the blind hole has a round cross section, which is much smaller than half the diameter of the pearl, and the shape of the gemstone or its setting is inevitably closely adapted to it in terms of size and outline.
  • DE 44 06 609 describes such a decorated natural or artificial pearl, into which a decorative element is introduced into a blind hole.
  • the limited dimensioning of the recess, here drilling, is considered important in order not to impair the stability of the pearl.
