Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multi-stone round or other shape center stone and setting for holding therein a plurality of re-cut diamonds or other gemstones to produce the appearance of a combined rounded or other shape gemstone aggregate providing an appearance larger than that of a single round or other shape gemstone of a similar carat weight. More particularly, this multi-stone round or other shape center setting having a plurality of gemstones therein also gives the appearance that the setting is substantially invisible and appearing as one whole cut gemstone. Further, this invention provides for the homogeneity of the gemstones table surface.
  • Invisible gemstone settings are well known in the art and refers to a setting for gemstones in which the setting lies beneath the visible surface of the gemstones.
  • the approach of the prior art has been to notch the gemstones and to mount them in a setting having two or more parallel walls, with metallic projections, for example, prongs or the like, protruding from these walls for engaging the notches.
  • these walls define channels in which the gemstones are set abutting one another in accordance with the invisible mounting method.
  • Invisible gemstone settings for jewelry products suffer from a number of disadvantages.
  • First casting of a jewelry item with a gemstone region including a recess and walls and preparing T-shaped cross bars is a relatively difficult and therefore a costly process.
  • Second, the assembly of the jewelry item requires considerable time of a skilled worker and required high tech precision tools, and equipment which adds greatly to the overall cost of the jewelry item.
  • Third, the finished jewelry item cannot be readily downsized without disturbing the invisible gemstone setting.
  • the prior art does not provide for the homogeneity of the gemstones table surface but instead has a clearly visible notch between the adjoining stones making it very obvious that the jewelry piece is not homogenous and appearing as one whole cut stone.
  • the multi-stone round or other shape center setting would include a round or other shaped metal setting for holding a plurality of cut gemstones in which the combined gemstone aggregate gives a larger appearance than that of a single round or other shape gemstone of a similar carat weight and having an homogenous table surface. Additionally, the multi- stone round or other shape center setting would give the appearance that the round or other shape setting is essentially invisible to the eye of the wearer.
  • Design Patents D462,634 S 1 0462,635 S 3 D472.181 S 1 D464.905 S, D 460,380 S discloses various ornamental designs for a jewelry setting having a multiple of stones who's pavilion is grooved and their assembly into an invisible setting shows a V shaped notch between the assembled stones making it very obvious that the ornamental design is made up of a multiple of stones and lacking an homogenous table.
  • These prior art patents do not disclose the structure and configuration of the present invention.
  • U.S. Pat. No. US 6,442,971 B1 discloses a multi-stone round setting for six substantially triangular-shaped gemstones or diamonds, each having three side walls.
  • the multi-stone round setting includes a curved comer prong assembly having six curved prong members; six side rail members connected to the six prong members to form a substantially round-shaped setting; a central support member having six connection points and six support ledges; and six radially extending spoke members connected at their outer ends to the six prong members, respectively, and connected at their inner ends to the six connection points, respectively, to form six seating areas. Each of the six seating areas are used for receiving one of six gemstones.
  • This prior art patent does not disclose the structure and configuration of the present invention.
  • None of the aforementioned prior art patents disclose or teach the multi- stone round or other shape center setting of the present invention for receiving therein a multitude of different shaped diamonds or gemstones which gives the appearance of a single round or other shape gemstone with the setting having an invisible profile .
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-stone round or other shape setting having a multiple of gemstones therein that are less expensive than a single round gemstone of a similar carat weight (i.e., the 4 carat presentation of the combined multiple of gemstones is less expensive than an actual 4 carat single round gemstone of the same carat weight & quality).
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-stone round or other shaped setting having a multiple of cut gemstones therein which gives the appearance that the round or other shape setting is substantially invisible and that unlike prior patents in this field, does not have a V shape dip or notch between stones but instead is set in such a way that the table of the assembled stones is homogenous and therefore appearing more like a true full cut stone.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-stone round or other shape setting that can be varied in size depending upon the total combined carat weight of the multiple of gemstones within the setting.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-stone round or other shaped setting that can be made from precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum or palladium for setting precious gemstones including diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and the like.
  • Another object of the present invention is to allow a method in which the center stone setting mounted to different ring styles can allow for the upsizing or downsizing of the finished jewelry item without disturbing the invisible gemstone setting.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-stone round or other shape setting having a multiple of gemstones therein for use in personal adornment in the form of ornamental jewelry such as rings, pins, brooches, pendants, clasps, necklaces, bracelets, anklets and earrings.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-stone round or other shaped setting that can be produced in an economical manner on a large scale and still be readily affordable by the jewelry consumer.
  • the present invention embodies methods and means for the duplication of the appearance of an actual full cut diamond or other precious stones into a verity of shapes and sizes by assembling a plurality of stones cut with specific angles with 1 millionth of an inch precision and assembled into various different shaped settings which allow for no spaces or grooves between the plurality of stones and therefore giving the appearance of homogeneity of the stones' table surface.
  • the multiple of cut stones used in the assembly of the given shaped center stone creation are re-cut from already existing cut and polished stones readily available and who's shape is selected according to the needed requirements which have the basic shape required depending on the final shape desired and are therefore re-cut with specific angles to allow the assembly of the center stone creation to give the appearance of a single homogenous full cut stone and appearing substantially invisible.
  • Figure # 1 shows the 4 stone Esteem Round Cut with its elements and an example/comparison of the prior art.
  • Figure # 2 shows a 2 stone Esteem Hexagon Cut with its elements and an example/comparison of the prior art.
  • Figure # 3 shows a 2 stone Esteem Octagon Cut with its elements and an example/comparison of the prior art.
  • Figure # 4 shows a 2 stone Esteem Heart Shape Cut with its elements and an example/comparison of the prior art.
  • Figure # 5 shows a Multi-Stone Esteem Princess Cut with its various elements and the capability of creating variations of length and width with unlimited possibilities. It also includes an example/comparison of the prior art.

Abstract

L'originalité de cette invention est la duplication d'un diamant réel ou d'autres pierres précieuses, complètement taillés, par assemblage d'une pluralité de pierres taillées avec des angles spécifiques à une précision d'1 millionième de pouce et qui sont assemblées en une configuration spéciale, de telle sorte que le bijou final a l'apparence d'un diamant entier, ou d'une autre pierre précieuse entière. Une autre caractéristique unique de l'invention est l'homogénéité de la surface de table des pierres et son aspect quasi invisible. Le but de cette invention a été et est de créer l'aspect et la reproduction d'un brillant rond ou d'autres diamants et pierres précieuses de formes diverses, dans lequel le poids total en carats utilisé dans le diamant créé, ou dans les autres pierres précieuses créées, est considérablement inférieur à ce qui est actuellement nécessaire pour obtenir les mêmes forme et aspect par des procédés actuels de taille des diamants en leurs formes finales pour leur sertissage dans un bijou. Le mode de réalisation de cette invention a deux volets; le premier volet est la capacité d'utiliser une pluralité de pierres taillées plus petites, qui, pour la même qualité et la même pureté que des pierres plus grandes, sont beaucoup moins coûteuses et, par conséquent, ont un attrait commercial très significatif pour le marché de masse; le deuxième est que l'aspect réel ou la taille réelle du diamant créé ou de toute autre pierre précieuse créée sera plusieurs fois la taille réelle du poids en carats d'une pierre entière taillée de façon classique. Ces pierres créées avec leur sertissage intégré peuvent ensuite être mélangées et assorties de façon à créer une large diversité de bijoux tels que des bagues, des boucles d'oreille, des colliers, des bracelets, des épingles, des broches, des bracelets de cheville, etc…
