Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of decorative accessories, and more specifically an attachment arrangement and method of use of same to removeably attach a display element to a wearable element of a decorative accessory or to remove a display element from a wearable element of a decorative accessory and transfer it to another wearable element to form another decorative accessory.
  • Jewellery designs commonly include a decoration or display element such as a gemstone, which is set in a mount which positions and holds the display element on the body or wearable element of the item of jewellery.
  • This display element is typically the most valuable component of the item of jewellery, although the body or wearable element is commonly made of precious material such as silver, gold or platinum.
  • Custom -made jewellery has become popular and allows the wearer to help in the design of the jewellery in order to produce a piece of jewellery unique to them. This permits the wearer's personality to be more accurately reflected in the appearance of the item of jewellery.
  • the display element in an item of jewellery may be either exchanged for a different display element or inserted into a different jewellery item by removing the display element from its respective mount.
  • this requires specialised knowledge and must be performed by a trained jeweller which results in additional costs, and results in a new item of jewellery in which the display element is again fixed. These costs can be significant if the wearer regularly exchanges or transfers the display element to keep up with changing fashion, social, work or ethnic trends.
  • a further disadvantage of regular exchanging or transferring of the display element is that the display element may become damaged which can reduce its value, and repeated handling of the display elements (which may include small gemstones) will increase the likelihood that of loss during exchange or transfer.
  • a decorative accessory as defined in claim 1.
  • Optional features are recited in the dependent claims.
  • kit of parts for assembling one or more decorative accessories in accordance with the first aspect, the kit of parts as defined in claim 12.
  • a third aspect of the invention there is provided a method of constructing a decorative accessory according to the first aspect of the invention, the method as defined in claim 13.
  • Optional features are recited in the dependent claim.
  • decorative accessory used herein may refer to any personal decorative item or adornment, not limited to brooches, rings, necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets, tie clips and cufflinks.
  • FIGS 1A and 1B show a decorative accessory 101 according to a first embodiment of the invention.
  • the decorative accessory comprises a display element 103 and a wearable element 105.
  • the display element 103 can be seen to comprise a gemstone 107 mounted on a first attachment member 109.
  • the wearable element can be seen to comprise a body 111 and second attachment members 113.
  • the second attachment members 113 are made from metal and are integral to the body 111 of the wearable element 105 which takes the form of a tie clip.
  • the second attachment members 113 are a pair of axially aligned and opposed arms which are separated by a gap 115.
  • the gap 115 is inclined relative to the horizontal axis of the arms and forms end faces 117 on the arms.
  • a longitudinal axis of the gap 115 forms an angle, in this example 45 degrees, with an axis extending through the arms 113.
  • the gap 115 and its longitudinal axis are in the plane of the arms and the angle is formed within in the plane.
  • the end faces 116 and 117 are parallel.
  • the first attachment member 109 is an elliptical cylinder, having a bore extending therethrough which defines apertures 119 at either end.
  • the cylinder is made from metal although any rigid or preferably resilient material may be used.
  • the first attachment member 109 is affixed to the gemstone 107 using a solder.
  • the length d of cylinder 109 is longer than length D of the gap 115.
  • Grooves 121 are provided in the arms of the second attachment members 113 to improve grip between the first attachment member109 and the second attachment members 113 which help to hold the first attachment member 109 and display element 103 in place.
  • Corresponding projections may be provided on a corresponding internal surface of the first attachment member 109 to further improve grip.
  • first attachment member has been described as being preferably resilient, it may of course be relatively rigid, in which case the second attachment members may be relatively resilient instead. Of course, as another alternative both the first attachment member and the second attachment members may be resilient.
  • first attachment member is described as being affixed to the gemstone using a solder, this is merely an example and any other manner of affixing the gemstone to the first attachment member may be used, such as adhesive if the material is suitable.
  • the first attachment member may instead comprise a crown which receives and fixes the gemstone in place. The crown may be unitary or may also be affixed to the display element.
  • Figure 2A to 2D show schematically a method of constructing a decorative accessory in accordance with the first embodiment of the invention.
  • the decorative accessory is similar to that described in Figure 1 , and will be understood from Figure 1 and the accompanying description.
  • the decorative accessory201 comprises a display element 203 and a wearable element 205.
  • the display element 203 can be seen to comprise a gemstone 207 mounted on a first attachment member 209.
  • the wearable element can be seen to comprise a body 211 and second attachment members 213.
  • the second attachment members 213 are made from metal and are integral to the body 211 of the wearable element 205 which takes the form of a tie clip.
  • the second attachment members 213 are a pair of axially aligned and opposed arms which are separated by a gap 215.
  • the gap 215 is inclined relative to the horizontal axis of the arms and forms end faces 216 and 217 on the arms.
  • a longitudinal axis of the gap 215 forms an angle, in this example 45 degrees, with an axis extending through the arms 213.
  • the gap 215 and its longitudinal axis are in the plane of the arms and the angle is formed within in the plane.
  • the end faces 216 and 217 are parallel.
  • the first attachment member 209 is an elliptical cylinder, having a bore extending therethrough which defines apertures 219 at either end.
  • the cylinder is made from plastic although any rigid or preferably resilient material may be used.
  • the first attachment member 209 is affixed to the gemstone 207 in this example using an adhesive.
  • the length d of cylinder 209 is longer than length D of the gap 215.
  • the first attachment member 209 and affixed gemstone 207 are orientated such that the end face 16 and an arm 213 are partially inserted into the aperture 219 of the first attachment member 209.
  • Pressure is applied to the first attachment member 209 in order to slide the first attachment member 209 along end face 217 of the second attachment member 213 so that one arm is completely inserted through the bore extending through the first attachment member as shown in Figure 2C .
  • the axis of the aperture 219 and the axis of the second attachment members 213 are now aligned and the first attachment member 209 is moved along the arms of the second attachment members 213 to a desired position.
  • the length of the first attachment member 209 is longer than the length of the gap 215, although this need not necessarily be the case.
  • the first attachment member 209 therefore bridges the gap 215 between the opposed arms of the second attachment members 213.
  • Grooves 221 are provided in the arms of the second attachment members 213 to improve grip between the first attachment member 209 and the second attachment members 213 which help to hold the first attachment member 209 and display element 203 in place.
  • Corresponding projections may be provided on a corresponding internal surface of the first attachment member 209 to further improve grip.
  • the first attachment member is described as being affixed to the gemstone using an adhesive, this is merely an example and any other manner of affixing the gemstone to the first attachment member may be used.
  • the first attachment member may instead comprise a crown which receives and fixes the gemstone in place.
  • the foregoing description relates to a method for constructing a decorative accessory. It will be appreciated that the principles of the invention may be used in a method of replacing a display element from a decorative accessory. In particular, the example methodology, or a subset thereof, may be reversed.
  • the display element 203 of the decorative accessory shown in Figure 2D may be replaced by orientating and manipulating the first attachment member such that it passes through the gap 215 and detaches from the second attachment members 213.
  • the first attachment member 209 is moved along the arms of the second attachment members 213 to a distal end of one of the attachment members 213.
  • the first attachment member 209 and affixed gemstone 207 may then be orientated by the application of pressure to the resilient first attachment member 209 such that the first attachment member 209 is removed from the other second attachment member 213.
  • the display element is thus relatively easily detached from the wearable element.
  • a second display element (not shown) having a similar or corresponding first attachment member may be attached to the wearable element 205 by following steps illustrated in Figures 2A to 2D .
  • the display element 203 once detached from the wearable element 205 may be attached to a second wearable element (not shown) having second attachment members by following equivalent steps to those illustrated in Figures 2A to 2D . Further alternatively, the display element 203 once detached from the wearable element 205 may be attached to a second wearable element such as described below with reference to Figures 3 and 4 .
