Definitions

  • the invention concerns an alloy for the production of jewels, in particular trinkets.
  • the invention concerns also objects, in particular jewels and trinkets produced with this alloy, as well as the use of the alloy for the production of jewels.
  • Gold and platinum are metals that do not oxidize easily but they are very expensive.
  • the weight of gold and platinum is relatively high, which limits the size that can be reasonably obtained for the jewels, in particular in the case of earrings.
  • the market of costume jewellery has developed several alloys with a low gold and platinum content that are less expensive than gold alloys but pose several drawbacks.
  • it is necessary to coat the item for example by means of a plating process carried out using galvanising methods. This layer, however, is subject to wear.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose an improved alloy that overcomes the drawbacks listed above.
  • the object of the present invention is mainly to propose an alloy with a low precious metal carat rating that, in addition to not oxidizing easily and having good workability for the needs of the jewellery sector, imitates the aspect and the brightness of white gold.
  • an alloy for the production of jewels that is constituted by: 4 - 10%, preferably 5 - 10%, more preferably 6 - 10% zinc by weight; 0.1 - 4.3% gold by weight; 8 - 20% copper by weight; 1 - 6% indium by weight; 0 - 4.3% platinum by weight; 0 - 4.3% palladium by weight; 0 - 10%, preferably 0 - 1.5% by weight of a combination of nickel and rhodium preferably with a weight ratio of 1:1; 0 - 0.5% by weight of one or more auxiliary elements, selected among iridium, germanium, silicon, osmium, tin and gallium, wherein the rest is constituted by silver.
  • alloys described herein can always contain other elements, meaning elements that are not listed as components that make up the alloy, in the form of traces in overall quantities up to 0.2% by weight, preferably up to 0.1% by weight. These traces derive from impurities present in the raw materials or are residues of auxiliary materials used during the production or processing of the alloy.
  • the alloy according to the invention is advantageously in the colour of white gold.
  • the variation in the content of metals or combinations of metals that are yellow/red compared to metals with a silvery colouring makes it possible to obtain different hues within the colour that in the sector of jewellery is considered as white gold colour.
  • alloys according to the invention that contain nickel there is rhodium in a weight ratio of 1:1 with respect to nickel, in order to bind nickel and prevent it from detaching from the alloy and therefore to reduce the allergenic nature of the alloy itself.
  • the alloy is very sturdy, elastic, easy to clean, polish and machine and has good lapping values, partly better than those of other alloys with higher carat rating.
  • the alloy does not contain iridium, germanium, silicon, osmium, tin and gallium as elements that make up the alloy.
  • the alloy in any case, can contain these elements within the group consisting of traces of other elements.
  • compositions that in the search for economic alloys with low precious metal carat rating have proved to be particularly suited to be used to make trinkets, because they do not oxidize easily, are easy to machine and shiny, and imitate the shades of the alloys known as white gold.
  • a preferred variant embodiment of the invention concerns an alloy whose silver content corresponds to 55 - 75% by weight. Obviously, the sum of the weights of the components of the alloy as indicated above makes up a total of 100% by weight.
  • the alloy according to the invention comprises 8 - 15% copper by weight, preferably 14 - 15% copper by weight. Contrary to expectations, this percentage represents a good compromise between a reduction of yellow in the alloy and a satisfactory structure in terms of sturdiness and workability of the alloy.
  • the content of indium in the alloy according to the invention corresponds to 1 - 2% by weight. Even relatively small quantities of indium produce a considerable whitening effect.
  • the alloy according to the invention comprises approximately 4.17% gold by weight.
  • the alloy also comprises approximately 4.17% platinum or palladium by weight or approximately 4.17% platinum by weight and approximately 4.17% palladium by weight.
  • the alloy according to the invention comprises 4.17% by weight of one or more precious metals selected among gold, palladium and platinum.
  • the alloy according to the invention comprises 8.34% by weight or 12.51% by weight of one or more precious metals selected among gold, palladium and platinum, wherein gold is preferably present in concentrations of 4.17% by weight.
  • These alloys correspond to alloys with low precious metal carat ratings: for example, 1 carat gold and alternatively 1 carat gold plus 1 or 2 carats platinum and/or palladium. Even with maximum 3 carats of precious metals (gold, platinum and palladium) it has been possible to obtain an alloy that does not oxidize easily, is sufficiently hard and elastic, suited to be worked with the techniques in use in the jewellery sector, very bright and in the colour of white gold.
  • the same comprises 1 - 1.5% nickel by weight and, due to the reasons explained above, also 1 - 1.5% rhodium by weight.
  • a much preferred alloy according to the invention is constituted by 19 - 20% copper by weight, 4 - 5% zinc by weight, approximately 4.17% gold by weight, 1 - 2%, preferably approximately 2% indium by weight, and the remaining percentage needed to reach 100% by weight is silver.
  • the alloy is characterized by optimal workability for the jewellery sector, considerable brightness and a white gold colour thanks to which it can be mistaken for real white gold.
  • the invention furthermore concerns the use of the alloy according to the invention for the production of jewels, in particular trinkets.
  • a third aspect of the invention concerns an item, preferably a jewel or a trinket, produced with an alloy according to the invention.
  • the alloy according to the invention is suited to be used in the processing cycles that are typical of the jewellery sector.
  • the invention achieves the object to provide an economic alloy with low carat rating of gold, platinum and palladium that, in addition to not oxidizing easily and having good workability, imitates the appearance of white gold and is considerably bright.
  • the production of the alloy follows the methods known in the art and the general knowledge of the expert in the art for producing alloys containing gold, silver, brass, etc.
  • the components of the alloy can be combined together starting from the pure metals and/or corresponding alloys, like for example brass, for example brass containing 70% copper by weight and 30% zinc by weight. These methods are not described herein for the sake of brevity.
  • Table 1 lists some examples of embodiment of alloys according to the invention: Table 1 copper [w%] zinc [w%] indium [w%] palladium [w%] platinum [w%] gold [w%] nickel and rhodium [w%] silver [w%] other [w%] 8-15 5-10 1 -2 0 - 4.3 0 - 4.3 0.1 - 4.3 0 balance to reach 100% by weight 0-0.5 8-15 5-10 1-2 0 0 4.17 0 balance to reach 100% by weight 0-0.5 4.17 (alone or in combination with other metals) 4.17 4.17 4.17 4.17 14-15 5-10 1-2 0 - 4.3 0 - 4.3 0.1 - 4.3 0 balance to reach 100% by weight 0-0.5 19-20 4-5 2 0 0 4.17 0 balance to reach 100% by weight 0-0.5
  • w% means “% by weight”. Possible traces of other elements that can be contained in the alloy up to an overall maximum of 0.2% by weight, preferably in concentrations ⁇ 0.1% by weight, have not been indicated.
