Description

Gemstone arrangement and method for producing a

Gemstone arrangement

The invention relates to a gemstone arrangement and a method for producing a gemstone arrangement. Furthermore, the invention relates to a jewelry with a gemstone arrangement. The gemstone arrangement is in particular a gemstone and / or semi-precious stone arrangement.

Gemstones, especially semi-precious stones or gemstones are often used in cut form. For example, jewelery with brilliant cut diamonds are known. By the respective ground shape of the gems whose optical properties can be adjusted so that an improved appearance of the gems and thus a jewelry is achieved with a gem.

It is an object of the invention to propose a new type of gemstones, in particular semi-precious stones or gemstones, with an improved appearance. It is a further object of the invention to flexibly adjust the optical properties of a gemstone, in particular a semi-precious stone or gemstone, and thus to influence the light guidance in the gemstone.

The solution of this object is achieved by a gemstone arrangement comprising a first gemstone element, a second gemstone element, and at least one decorative element. In this case, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are connected to each other. The decorative element is arranged between the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element. The gemstone elements are of natural origin or manufactured artificially. Particularly preferably, the gemstone arrangement is a semi-precious stone arrangement, wherein the first gemstone element is to be understood as a first semi-precious stone element and the second gemstone element as a second semi-precious stone element. According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the gemstone arrangement is a gemstone arrangement, wherein the first gemstone element is to be understood as the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element as the second gemstone element.

The gemstone arrangement according to the invention, the interconnected gemstone elements are combined with an additional decorative element, so that the appearance of the gemstone arrangement improved by the decorative element. In particular, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are connected to one another in such a way that the decorative element is embedded or implanted in the gemstone arrangement. It thus creates the visual impression that the decorative element is seamless and completely surrounded by the gemstone arrangement, as if the decorative element is a natural inclusion, which is present since the emergence of a gemstone in this. Furthermore, the gemstone arrangement represents a completely new "Fassart" of a decorative element, which allows a better visual image. The decorative element is placed in the gemstone arrangement, which acts as a "support stone", where it is completely free and without metal supports taken, which would always obscure a part of the decorative element optically. This is particularly advantageous when a gemstone, especially a semi-precious stone or gemstone is used as the decorative element. By arranging the decorative element between the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element, there can be dispensed with sockets (e.g., gold sockets) which are commonly used for picking up a gemstone.

Especially if the decorative element is a gemstone, especially a semi-precious stone or gemstone, the light guide is changed in the gemstone arrangement by the provision of the gemstone, so that a completely new appearance is achieved. In particular, the light guide in the gemstone arrangement can be influenced depending on the position and the optical properties of the gemstone within the gemstone arrangement, resulting in a variety of new appearances.

The first gemstone element and / or the second gemstone element are preferably each formed such that they each correspond to a part of a gemstone. In other words, the first gemstone element and / or the second gemstone element preferably each have the outer (three-dimensional) shape of a part of a gemstone. Particularly preferably, in each case the first and / or the second gemstone element of a half of a gemstone, in particular the same gemstone, correspond. Thus, for example, in terms of the outer shape of the first gemstone element a shell and the second gemstone element a lower part with a Rundist a Corresponding gemstone. But it is also possible that the first gemstone element corresponds to an upper part with a Rundist and the second gemstone element corresponds to a lower part of a gemstone. Furthermore, it is possible for the first gemstone element to correspond to an upper part with a part, in particular a half, a round strip of a gemstone, and the second gemstone element corresponds to a lower part with a part, in particular a half, of a gemstone of a gemstone.

The first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are preferably each formed such that they together or in the connected state, the outer (three-dimensional) shape of a gemstone. In other words, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are preferably each formed such that the formed gemstone stone arrangement has the outer shape of a gemstone.

Here, the decorative element is visible not only in the plan view from above, but also visible for example by the inclined applied upper facets of the gemstone arrangement from the side. In other words, the decorative element can also be viewed in perspective from all possible angles.

In the context of the invention, unless otherwise stated, a gemstone, in particular a semi-precious stone or gemstone, is preferably to be understood as a gemstone which is ground, in particular faceted, (that is not rough). This applies to both the gemstone elements and the decorative element, if the latter is a gemstone.

In the context of the invention, a gemstone (for the gemstone elements or the decorative element) is understood in particular as a gemstone which fulfills the following four criteria:

1 . rarity

2. Mohs hardness (gem hardness) greater than or equal to 5, preferably greater than or equal to 6, particularly preferably greater than or equal to 7

3. Transparency

4. Refractive index greater than or equal to 1.56, preferably greater than or equal to 1.7. In particular, rubies, sapphires and emeralds are gemstones.

A glass part is here because of its chemical composition and structure preferably not understood as a gemstone (semi-precious stone, gemstone or other gemstone), even if the glass part of a material (starting material), which in the raw state as a gemstone (semi-precious stone, gemstone or other gemstone) is classified. The glass part can be, for example, a quartz glass, wherein the quartz glass does not belong to the gemstones, even if quartz (starting material) is a gemstone.

In the context of the invention, the gemstone, in particular semi-precious stone or gemstone, be natural or synthetic.

In particular, the decorative element is arranged in a recess of the gemstone arrangement.

The decorative element may be a gemstone, in particular a semi-precious stone or a gemstone, or a metal insert, for example a gold deposit. In particular, the decorative element may be a diamond.

If the gemstone arrangement has a plurality of decorative elements, any combination of semi-precious stones, gemstones, other gemstones and metal inserts is possible.

By a plurality of decorative elements, for example, the photo of a loved one, a zodiac sign, any sign or a name train may be incorporated into the gemstone arrangement. For example, a plurality of decorative elements may be arranged to form a cross or victory sign.

Furthermore, the first gemstone element can be understood as an upper gemstone element and the second gemstone element as a lower gemstone element.

Preferably, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are connected to each other over their entire surface.

Direct connection between the first gemstone element and the second

Gem element

Preferably, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are directly connected to each other, so that the decorative element is embedded in the gemstone arrangement. The first gemstone element and the second gemstone element form a solid body with a continuous outer surface enclosing a volume. The decorative element is implanted in the formed volume.

"Direct" in terms of the connection of the first gemstone element with the second gemstone element means in particular that at one or each junction / contact point between the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element at most only one connecting material, which Gemstone elements interconnecting, is provided. This means that both a connection of the first gemstone element with the second gemstone element over its circumference, for example by means of a holding element which compresses the first gem stone element and the second gem stone element, as well as a connection of the first gem stone element with the second gem stone element by means of a connecting material one or each connection point / contact point between the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are to be understood as direct connections.

In other words, in a direct connection of the first gemstone element with the second gemstone element by means of a connecting material between the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element preferably only the bonding material and no further component disposed therebetween.

For connecting the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element a connecting intermediate layer is preferably used, which is mounted between the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element. At one or each connection point / contact point between the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element, only the intermediate layer is present. This connection is therefore to be understood in the context of the present invention as a direct connection, since there is no component between the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element.

Specification of the intermediate layer

The connecting intermediate layer may preferably be formed as an adhesive film, laminating film or liquid adhesive which is cured in the assembled state.

The connecting intermediate layer is advantageously transparent. Thus, an optical conductivity is produced around the decorative element.

The first gemstone element and / or the second gemstone element preferably has a refractive index that is between 1.54 and 1.65.

The connecting intermediate layer preferably has a refractive index of 1.45 to 1.48.

Preferably, as the interconnecting intermediate layer, a laminating film formed of ethyl-vinyl acetate (EVA) or polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is used. The laminating film is transparent and preferably has a refractive index that is between 1.45 and 1.48.

Particularly preferably, the connecting intermediate layer has a refractive index which is greater than or equal to 0.9 of the refractive index of the first gemstone element and less than or equal to the refractive index of the first gemstone element. Particularly preferably, the connecting intermediate layer has a refractive index which is greater than or equal to 0.9 of the refractive index of the second gemstone element and less than or equal to the refractive index of the second gemstone element.

In particular, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are glued together over their entire area (directly).

Specification of the recess in direct connection

Preferably, the decorative element is arranged in a recess which is formed in the first gemstone element and / or the second gemstone element.

Particularly preferably, the decorative element is arranged in a recess formed completely in one of the gemstone elements, in particular in the second gemstone element. "Complete" means that the recess is formed only in one of the gemstone elements. In this case, the decorative element can be arranged completely (only) in the recess or partially protrude beyond the recess.

Alternatively, preferably a first region of the recess in the first gemstone element and a second region of the recess in the second gemstone element can be provided.

In a gemstone arrangement with a plurality of decorative elements, at least one recess in the first gemstone element and at least one further recess in the second gemstone element can be formed. But it is also possible that all recesses are provided only in the first gemstone element or only in the second gemstone element.

Direct contact of the connecting interlayer with an area of an upper part of the decorative element

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention is in the direct connection of the first gemstone element with the second gemstone element by means of the connecting intermediate layer, a region of an upper part of the decorative element in direct contact with the intermediate layer. In this case, the connecting intermediate layer advantageously covers the recess, in particular completely. Preferably, the upper part of the decorative element is embedded in the intermediate layer. Particularly preferred here is the decorative element is a gemstone, especially a semi-precious stone or gemstone.

The upper part of the decorative element is preferably facing the first gemstone element, the first gemstone element being the part which is arranged in such a way that that the light appears on it. In other words, the upper part of the decorative element is preferably facing the first gemstone element, the first gemstone element being the part to which the light strikes when the gemstone formation is provided in a jewelery. In this case, the first gemstone element can also be regarded as a cover element (upper gemstone element) and the second gemstone element as a substrate (lower gemstone element).

If the recess is formed in the second gemstone element, the upper part of the decorative element facing away from the second gemstone element in comparison to the lower part of the decorative element.

In the case of a gemstone, in particular a semi-precious stone or a gemstone, as the decorative element, the difference in optical densities between the intermediate layer and the interlayer-contacting region of the top of the gemstone becomes compared to that between air and one in contact with the air Reduced area of the top of the gem. Thus, upon contact of the intermediate layer at the top of the gem, the total reflection angle at the interface between the intermediate layer and the top is reduced. This has the consequence that less light is totally reflected at this point, that is, more light enters at this point in the intended as the decorative elements gemstone, or from the gemstone again. The incoming light is transmitted to the lower part of the decorative element and reflected at the lower part back to the upper part. Due to the provided at the top intermediate layer, the light at this point unhindered escape from the decorative element without being reflected. Furthermore, the diffraction and partial reflection of the light are reduced in the transition at the interface between the two optical media (the interconnecting intermediate layer and the decorative element). Thus, more light can reach the viewer.

When a gemstone is understood as the upper part or upper part of the part, which is located above a Rundist the gemstone. Below the slat of the jewel is the lower part or the lower part. The round list corresponds to a circumferential edge between the upper part and the lower part in (ground) gemstones or a separating edge between crown and pavilion. In particular, the area of the upper part comprises a panel of the gemstone. Accordingly, an area of the lower part of the gemstone includes a taper or tip of the stone.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a carrier element is between the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element arranged. In the carrier element, a recess is formed, in which the decorative element is arranged. The carrier element is connected to the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element, so that the decorative element is embedded in the gemstone arrangement. In other words, the first gemstone element, the second gemstone element and the support element form a solid in which the decorative element is implanted. Preferably, the carrier element is formed as a glass part. The glass part can be formed for example of mineral glass or Plexiglas. As a result, the object of introducing a recess from the first gemstone element and / or second gemstone element is displaced into the carrier element. This has the advantage that in mass production much faster production processes (eg pressing or punching, for example, prefabricated glass parts) can be used, which can replace costly processing processes (eg polishing the recess). For this reason, the carrier element can be prefabricated with the recess and connected to each other with no effort each with the first and the second gemstone element. The support element is preferably not formed as a gemstone.

The carrier element is advantageously transparent.

Preferably, the recess is completely formed in the carrier element, in particular glass part. This means that the recess is preferably not formed in the first gemstone element or second gemstone element.

The carrier element, in particular glass part, is preferably designed such that, in the connected state with the first gemstone element and / or the second gemstone element, the carrier element has the same dimension perpendicular to the connection direction with the first gemstone element and / or the second gemstone element. In other words, the glass part is designed such that in the gemstone arrangement, a circumference of the carrier element is flush with a circumference of the first gemstone element and / or the second gemstone element.

Alternatively, the carrier element, in particular glass part, be designed such that the carrier element is arranged in a recess of the first gemstone element and / or the second gemstone element.

It is also possible that in the first gemstone element and / or second gemstone element a first recess for receiving a first decorative element and a second recess for receiving a support element, in particular glass part, are formed with a recess and a second decorative element arranged therein.

This can be particularly advantageous in terms of production technology if the gemstone arrangement has a multiplicity of decorative elements and is to be designed individually. Thus, for producing a gemstone arrangement, which is intended to have, for example, a standard sign and an individually designed arrangement of decorative elements, a prefabricated support element, in particular glass part, with recesses for receiving the decorative elements in the form of the standard sign can be used. The carrier element is introduced into a recess formed in the first and / or second gemstone element. The individually designed arrangement of decorative elements can be achieved by arranging the elements in further recesses in the first and / or second gemstone element. Particularly in the case of complicated standard signs, the provision of a prefabricated carrier element for receiving the decorative elements for forming the standard sign considerably reduces the expense of producing the gemstone arrangement.

The carrier element, in particular glass part, is preferably connected to the first gemstone element by means of a connecting intermediate layer, wherein a region of an upper part of the decorative element is in direct contact with the intermediate layer. This reduces the total reflection, the diffraction and partial reflection of the light at the transition at the interface between the two optical media (the connecting interlayer and the decorative element). Thus, more light can reach the viewer.

In this case, the connecting intermediate layer advantageously covers the recess, in particular completely. Preferably, the upper part of the decorative element is embedded in the intermediate layer. Particularly preferred here is the decorative element is a gemstone, especially a semi-precious stone or gemstone.

The upper part of the decorative element is preferably facing the first gemstone element, wherein the first gemstone element is the part which is arranged so that the light occurs thereon. In other words, the upper part of the decorative element is preferably facing the first gemstone element, the first gemstone element being the part to which the light strikes when the gemstone formation is provided in a jewelery.

Further preferably, the carrier element, in particular glass part, is connected to the second gemstone element by means of a further connecting intermediate layer. The advantages achieved by a connecting intermediate layer and the above explanations concerning the connecting intermediate layer in the embodiment of the invention with an intermediate layer between the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element also apply to the configuration that a connecting intermediate layer between the carrier element and the first gemstone element and / or another connecting intermediate layer is provided between the carrier element and the second gemstone element.

The intermediate layer between the first gemstone element and the carrier element and the further intermediate layer between the carrier element and the second gemstone element may preferably be formed identically.

Preferably, the first gemstone element and the support element are connected to each other over the entire surface, in particular glued together. Preferably, the second gemstone element and the support element are connected to each other over the entire surface, in particular glued together.

Specification of the recess

Preferably, a region of the recess below a contact region between the recess and the decorative element only air or vacuum. This gives a viewer the impression of a floating in the air decorative element. In particular, the recess and the decorative element have complementary shapes at the contact area between the decorative element and the recess.

The region of the recess below the contact region is preferably facing the lower part of the decorative element.

If the decorative element is a gemstone, in particular a semi-precious stone or gemstone, the air or the vacuum below the contact area between the recess and the decorative element enables the double reflection of the light in the lower part of the gemstone. The gemstone thus has an optimal rate of reflected light and an optimal sparkle.

According to an alternative preferred embodiment, the decorative element may be arranged without contact in the recess. "Contact-free" means that there is no contact or direct contact between the decorative element and the recess (the wall of the recess) in that no component or joining material is arranged between the decorative element and the recess. In this case, the decorative element completely in the connecting intermediate layer be embedded. This may be particularly advantageous if the decorative element is a metal insert. Thus, the metal insert can be stably and accurately positioned in the arrangement, while giving the impression that it is floating in the air. Such an arrangement of the decorative element may also be advantageous if the decorative element is an elongated gemstone.

Specification of gem stone elements and decorative element

Advantageously, the first gemstone element has a lower refractive index than the second gemstone element. For example, an element of a first low refractive index gemstone (e.g., quartz) may be assembled with a second high refractive index (e.g., zirconia) gemstone element. Thus, an optimal light output is achieved by the gemstone arrangement.

The first gemstone element and the second gemstone element preferably have (in themselves) different colors. In other words, the first gemstone element (per se) preferably has a first color and the second gemstone element (per se) has a second color that is different from one another. In this case, preferably, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element may be formed of different gemstone materials. Alternatively, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element may be formed of the same gemstone material but differ in color. For example, both gemstone elements may be formed of topaz, one of which may be artificially colored. The first color is preferably lighter than the second color. The combination of gemstone elements of different color to form a gemstone arrangement has the advantage that two different colors of the gemstone elements result in a different, very attractive or unusual color for the gemstone arrangement and special color effects. For example, a first jewelery gemstone made from light blue topaz or aquamarine and a second gemstone gemstone from dark violet amethyst can be combined. Thus, an "amethyst-aquamarine hybrid" is obtained, which represents a completely new variant of a gemstone (gemstone arrangement), a "Combi-stone".

In addition, advantageously, the decorative element may have a third color (per se) that is different from the first color of the first gemstone element and the second color of the second gemstone element. The third color may preferably be lighter than the first and / or the second color. Particularly preferably, the third color is lighter than the first color, which in turn is lighter than the second color. In particular, the decorative element is colorless. The effect of these designs is particularly attractive when the decorative element is a gemstone.

For example, a white (colorless transparent) diamond in the light of a dark purple amethyst with an upper gemstone element of a pink kunzite as a pink diamond would glow out of an optically dark purple gemstone. The pink gemstone element of the "Combi Stone" will not appear in itself as pink, as it always appears as violet due to the dark purple lower Gemstone element. However, the white (colorless transparent) diamonds are not colored by the lower gemstone element of the amethyst, since no light penetrates through a well-cut brilliant. It can not connect the dark purple color of the lower gemstone element with the color of the diamond. In contrast, however, the color of the upper gemstone element can mix with the color of the diamond, because it represents so a color filter, which lies between the diamond and the viewer. Depending on the choice of color stones, you can obtain all sorts of color combinations of the decorative elements, which together with the three-dimensional effect can achieve a very spectacular visual effect. In other words, by the combination of two differently colored gemstone elements and the insert of a third-colored decorative element between the two gemstone elements of the gemstone arrangement a three-dimensionally positioned decorative element in the gemstone arrangement, which has an amazing color without artificial coloring. Thus, the effect of a colored gem can be achieved without the usual radioactive irradiation, with which gemstones are colored to use and subject the gemstone of a color coating, which is associated with considerable cost and time. For example, pink diamonds cost about 100 times as much as white (colorless transparent) diamonds. In addition, colored gems are perceived as something "fake" or "treated" by consumers, so that their price performance ratio are classified as bad.

According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are formed of the same gemstone material. Thus, a gemstone assembly is formed, which in terms of shape corresponds to a gemstone of the same material, but has an improved visual appearance by embedding a decorative element. Preferably, a gemstone (Ausgangsschmuckstein) can be easily divided into a first gem stone element and a second gem stone element, which are connected to each other after arranging the decorative element therebetween. This improves the appearance of the starting gemstone. Preferably, the first gemstone element and / or the second gemstone element has a refractive index which is between 1.54 and 1.65.

Preferably, the decorative element is a gem, which has a higher refractive index than the first gemstone element and / or the second gemstone element. Due to the higher refractive index, the total reflection angle is higher, and hence the luminous efficacy, i.e., the amount of light reflected back to the observer's eye, increases. As a result, the first and / or the second gemstone element shine more intensely, or sparkle or are lightened in color.

The first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are preferably designed such that they have the same dimension perpendicular to the connection direction in the connected state. In other words, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are formed such that in the gemstone arrangement, a circumference of the first gemstone element is flush with a circumference of the second gemstone element.

Particularly preferably, a plurality of decorative elements is provided, wherein the decorative elements are arranged in corresponding recesses and as gemstones, each having a higher refractive index than the first gemstone element and / or the second gemstone element, are formed. In particular, the decorative elements are arranged in a line or a common plane. In other words, the decorative elements may be arranged in a line or have a layer. All decorative elements are preferably identical. In particular, in the case of decorative elements designed as gemstones, all gemstones are preferably made of the same material and / or have the same color and / or the same size and / or the same shape.

This increases the effect of brightening the first gemstone element and / or the second gemstone element. Thus, a sparkle and a light yield are achieved by the gemstone arrangement that could never achieve a gemstone (without a gemstone contained therein) in its existing form.

Preferably, the decorative element is a diamond, in particular a diamond. In particular, each decorative element is a diamond, in particular a diamond. Since the diamond has the highest refractive index, its total reflection angle is the highest known in optics and thus gives the highest amount of light output. The effect of lightening is particularly advantageous when a first colored gemstone element and / or a second colored gemstone element is used. If, for example, a plurality of diamonds or small brilliants (eg in the form of a layer) is drawn in between a first colored and / or a second colored gemstone element, a colored gemstone arrangement is created which has a natural coloration like another gemstone (eg an emerald or Aquamarine), but which has a light reflection that is elevated and very close to a diamond. Thus, the optical effect of the gemstone stone arrangement is enhanced while maintaining their basic color effect. The gemstone arrangement is lightened and lights up more.

The gemstone or the plurality of gemstones is preferably at a height of 1/3 of the total height of the gemstone arrangement, measured from an upper surface of the gemstone arrangement, arranged. In other words, an upper surface of the gem is positioned at 1/3 of the height of the gemstone assembly, and the height of the gemstone is measured from an upper surface of the first gemstone member. This is particularly advantageous when the first gemstone element consists of a gemstone material that suffers from ingesting too much light and being too dark. For this reason, such gemstone materials that are too dark (almost black) and thus throw back too little light, are not in great demand and therefore very cheap. Since the gem is arranged in the above-mentioned height between the first gem stone element and the second gem stone element, the color filter effect is reduced by 2/3. This means that of the color filter, which consumes too much light, now only the upper third of the first gemstone element is effective. Thus, the first gemstone element, which consists of a due to the high light absorption per se dark acting gemstone material, suddenly have a bright color, because 1/3 of the color filter would perhaps give exactly the ideal color.

The decorative element is preferably a gemstone, in particular a semi-precious stone or gemstone, which has a smaller base angle than the second gemstone element. In other words, a bottom angle of the decorative element formed as a gem is smaller than a bottom angle of the gemstone arrangement. In particular, the decorative element is formed from the same gemstone material as the first gemstone element or the second gemstone element. Particularly preferably, the decorative element, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element consist of the same gemstone material. Further preferred are the decorative element, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element coloured. Due to the steep base angle of the gemstone, the same ratio of angle of incidence of the light to the total reflection angle is achieved for a majority of the light, as if a gemstone of the same material in itself would have a very steep base. Thus, the luminous efficacy, the sparkle and the glow of the gemstone arrangement are improved without having the disadvantages of a steep gemstone. A steep gemstone is disadvantageous because it is very uncomfortable to enclose this in a jewelry. For example, a steep gemstone protrudes in rings unintentionally in height or tilts in trailers through the steep base usually sideways away. In addition, the rough gems are often much shallower than the ideal proportions of a gem, if it is to have a certain size.

The effect achieved by the above-described embodiment of the lower part angle of the gemstone arrangement is particularly pronounced when the first gemstone element and / or the second gemstone element each consist of a gemstone material which sparkles all the more in the shape of a ground gemstone material, the steeper its top angle or bottom angle are , Such gemstone materials include, for example, corundum, ie sapphires and rubies. These sparkle in the form of a ground gem only really nice if they have a depth of subdivision, which have at least 60% to 70%, preferably even up to 80%, of the circular diameter. However, it is not always possible to keep these proportions for a certain size of the cut gemstone, so that the cut gem does not sparkle optimally. By implanting a gemstone with a steeper bottom angle than the formed gemstone arrangement this problem is solved.

The invention further relates to a jewelry comprising a previously described gemstone arrangement and a socket, by means of which the gemstone arrangement is fixed.

The solution of the above object is further achieved by a method for producing a gemstone stone assembly, the method comprising the steps of providing a first gemstone element, providing a second gemstone element, providing a decorative element, arranging the decorative element between the first gemstone element and the second noble element, and the joining of the first gemstone element with the second gemstone element comprises. Thus, the advantages and explanations mentioned above with respect to the gemstone arrangement are connected. In other words, the solution to the above object is further achieved by a method of manufacturing a gemstone assembly, the method comprising the steps of placing a decorative element between a first gemstone element and a second gemstone element, and bonding the first gemstone element to the second gemstone element ,

In particular, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are connected together in such a way that the decorative element is embedded in the gemstone arrangement.

Preferably, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are directly connected to each other, so that the decorative element is embedded in the gemstone arrangement.

In particular, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are directly connected to each other by means of an intermediate layer.

Preferably, the method comprises the steps of introducing a recess into the first gemstone element and / or the second gemstone element, and arranging the decorative element in the recess. These steps take place before connecting the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element together.

Particularly preferably, the recess is formed at the location of a natural inclusion in the first gemstone element and / or second gemstone element. For this purpose, a gemstone, in particular a semi-precious stone or gemstone, which has a disturbing inclusion, divided at the height of the inclusion, in particular be sawn to remove the inclusion. The recess resulting from the removal of the inclusion may, in particular after it has been processed, be used as the recess for receiving the decorative element. Thereupon, a decorative element, in particular a gem, can be arranged in the formed recess. This has the advantage that a gem, the quality of which would otherwise be reduced because of inclusion, is upgraded.

Alternatively, a recess, which has been created by removing an inclusion, can preferably be filled with the same gemstone material of the first gemstone element and / or the second gemstone element. Thus, the optical effect of the inclusion can disappear.

Further preferably, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are directly connected to each other by means of a connecting intermediate layer connected, wherein a portion of an upper part of the decorative element is in direct contact with the intermediate layer.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, a carrier element is arranged between the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element, in which at least one recess is formed. In the recess, the decorative element is arranged. The carrier element is connected to the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element, so that the decorative element is embedded in the gemstone arrangement.

Preferably, the carrier element is connected to the first gemstone element by means of a connecting intermediate layer, wherein a portion of an upper part of the decorative element is in direct contact with the intermediate layer. In particular, the decorative element is designed as a gemstone.

The carrier element can furthermore preferably be connected to the second gemstone element by means of a further connecting intermediate layer.

The carrier element is designed in particular as a glass part.

The intermediate layer for connecting the carrier element to the first gemstone element (first intermediate layer) and the further intermediate layer for connecting the carrier element to the second gemstone element (second intermediate layer) may preferably be identical.

To provide the first gemstone element, preferably a first gemstone (stone already in ground shape) can be shared. Of these, one part may be used as the first gemstone element and connected to the second gemstone element.

Alternatively, preferably, a first gemstone element can be connected to the second gemstone element and then ground. In this exceptional case, the first gemstone element before the connecting step is an element of a gemstone not in cut form, but in cut form, in particular in block form.

Accordingly, to provide the second gemstone element, a second gemstone (stone already in ground shape) may be preferably divided, of which one part is used as the second gemstone element and connected to the first gemstone element. Alternatively, preferably, a second gemstone element can be connected to the first gemstone element and then ground. In this exceptional case, the second gemstone element before the connecting step is an element of a gemstone not in cut form, but in cut form, in particular in block form.

Particularly preferably, a gem is divided into two parts, in particular two halves, which are used as the first gem stone element and the second gem stone element and are connected to each other after arranging (at least) a decorative element therebetween. In this case, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are formed of the same gemstone material and have the same refractive index.

Preferably, to provide the first gemstone element, a first gemstone (stone already in ground shape) is divided into two parts. One of them is used as the first gem stone element. Further, preferably, for providing the second gemstone element, a second gemstone (stone already in ground form) is divided into two parts, of which one part is used as the second gemstone element.

Alternatively, preferably, an element of a first gemstone in a cut shape, in particular block shape, with an element of a second gemstone in a cut shape, in particular block shape, are joined together. Thereafter, the two elements are ground, so that a gemstone arrangement with a first gemstone element and a second gemstone element is created.

For providing the first gemstone element and / or the second gemstone element, a gemstone may preferably be divided by the center of a total height of the gemstone and / or a girdle and / or in the height of an enclosure.

Although it is advantageous if the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are provided in the same way, it is not excluded within the scope of the invention that the provisioning methods described above can be combined with one another as desired. For example, as needed, the first gemstone element may be provided by a part of a split gemstone in a ground shape, and the second gemstone element by a cut gemstone that is first joined to the first gemstone element and subsequently ground. Further details, advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawing, wherein identical or functionally identical parts are each denoted by the same reference numerals.

Fig. 7 is a simplified schematic plan view of a jewelry comprising a gemstone arrangement according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, a gemstone assembly 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

As can be seen from FIG. 1, the gemstone arrangement 1 comprises a first gemstone element 2, a second gemstone element 3 and a decorative element 4. The decorative element 4 is arranged completely in a recess 5 between the first gemstone element 2 and the second gemstone element 3, wherein the decorative element 4 is implanted in the gemstone arrangement 1.

In this case, the recess 5 is formed completely (only) in the second gemstone element 3. But it is also possible that the recess 5 is partially formed in the first gemstone element 2 and partially in the second gemstone element 3.

In particular, the decorative element 4 is a gemstone or a diamond. As the decorative element 4 but other gemstones, gemstones or metal inserts can be used. The second gemstone element 3 is directly connected to the first gemstone element 2 by means of a connecting intermediate layer 6. The gemstone elements 2, 3 are also fully connected directly to each other. The intermediate layer 6 may be formed in particular as an adhesive film, laminating film, adhesive or another compound. The intermediate layer 6 is arranged between the first gemstone element 2 and the second gemstone element 3. Between the two gemstone elements 2, 3 thus results in a seamless, airtight connection.

Advantageously, an upper part 40 of the decorative element formed as a gemstone

4 embedded in the intermediate layer 6. The upper part 40 of the decorative element 4 preferably comprises a panel 43 and / or upper facets 44 of the gemstone or corresponds to an upper part 45 of the gemstone. The panel 43 or the upper facets 44 correspond to a region of the upper part 40 of the decorative element 4.

Thus, the upper part 40 of the decorative element 4 is in direct contact with the intermediate layer 6.

Preferably, the recess 5 and the decorative element 4 have complementary shapes on a contact region 15 between the decorative element 4 and the recess 5. In this embodiment, the contact area 15 corresponds to a circular ledge 41 of the gemstone. The slat 41 separates the upper part 40 from a lower part (lower part) 42 of the gemstone.

Below the contact region 15, a region 52 of the recess 5 has only vacuum or air. On the other hand, an area 51 of the recess 5 above the contact area 15 is filled with material of the intermediate layer 6 in an advantageous manner. The region 52 below the contact region 15 corresponds to a lower region of the recess 5, the region 51 above the contact region corresponding to an upper region of the recess 5. Here, the upper part 45 of the gemstone is the upper portion 51 of the recess

5 and the lower part 42 of the gem facing the lower portion 52 of the recess.

By this embodiment, an overall improved visual appearance of the gemstone arrangement 1 is achieved.

This is partly because the upper part 45 of the gemstone is not in an air bubble. That is, the top 45 of the gemstone is not surrounded by air. Thus, there are fewer reflections on the surface of the gem, and the light falling on the gem can enter the gem more freely. Furthermore, as a result of the intermediate layer (laminating compound) which bears against the upper part 45, which also represents an optical medium, the refractive index and thus also the total reflection angles in comparison with the case, that the upper part 45 would be surrounded by air reduced. This promotes the unimpeded exit of the light at the top 45, which is important for the sparkle of the gemstone.

On the other hand, the air located in the lower region 52 of the recess 5 or the vacuum located there is used so that the light in the lower part 42 of the gem 4 at the interface of the gem 4 to the air twice totally reflected. This is possible because air or vacuum has a much lower optical density than the gemstone. Because of the large difference between the optical density of air / vacuum and gemstone, the total reflection angle, which indicates within which angle a hundred percent reflection of the light occurs, is high. This means that at a high total reflection angle the intensity of the glow or spark of the gemstone is also high.

The first gemstone element 2 and the second gemstone element 3 are formed in this case from the same gemstone material. For example, the gemstone elements 2, 3 are each made of topaz, amethyst, citrine or rock crystal.

Furthermore, the first gemstone element 2 is shaped such that it has a top 20 and a round 21. Furthermore, the second gemstone element 3 is designed such that it has a lower part 30.

To provide the first gemstone element 2 and the second gemstone element 3, a gemstone can be shared. In this case, the first gemstone can be divided into two parts, wherein the first part, for example, a top and a Rundist and the second part comprises a lower part of the gem. Of these, the first part of the gem may be used as the first gem element 2 and the second part of the gem as the second gem element 3. It is also possible that for providing the first gemstone element 2, a first gemstone and for providing the second gemstone element 3, a second gemstone are used, which are each divided into two parts and of which one of the resulting parts is used. This can be advantageous, for example, if a gemstone has an inclusion, so that only a part of it can be used as the first or the second gemstone element.

After the recess 5 has been introduced into the second gemstone element 3, the decorative element 4 is inserted into the recess 5 and the two gemstone elements 2, 3 are connected directly to each other by means of the intermediate layer.

This results in the gemstone arrangement 1, in which a decorative element 4 is embedded. In this case, the gemstone arrangement corresponds to a gem in which a diamond is implanted and thus has a completely new appearance. Fig. 2 shows a gemstone arrangement 1 according to a second embodiment.

Like the one of FIG. 1, the gemstone arrangement 1 comprises a first gemstone element 2, a second gemstone element 3 and a decorative element 4, which is a gemstone, in particular a diamond, and is arranged in an arrangement 5 completely formed in the second gemstone element 3. The first gemstone element 2 is directly connected to the second gemstone element 3 by means of a connecting intermediate layer 6, wherein an upper part 40 of the decorative element 4 is in direct contact with the intermediate layer 6.

In the second exemplary embodiment, the gemstone is arranged in the recess 5 such that the upper part 45 (upper part), the circular ledge 41 and a region of the lower part 42 of the gemstone 4 project beyond the plane of the second gemstone element 3. In this case, the upper part 45, the Rundist 41 and the region of the lower part 42, which is located above the plane of the second gemstone element 3, the upper part of the decorative element 4. The contact between the gemstone and the recess 5 thus takes place in the lower part 42 of gemstone.

This arrangement of the gemstone in the recess 5 contributes that the penetration of the intermediate layer 6 is prevented in the region 52 of the recess 5 below the contact region 15 between the recess 5 and the gemstone. At the contact region 15, the recess 5 and the gemstone may more preferably have complementary shapes. This can be done for example by a fold of the recess 5. The region 42 of the recess 5 below the contact region 15 in this embodiment corresponds to the complete (free) recess 5, that is to say the region of the recess 5 not occupied by the gemstone.

The gemstone arrangement 1 according to the second embodiment also differs from that of the first embodiment in that the first gemstone element 2 has a first color and the second gemstone element 3 has a second color which are different from each other.

Furthermore, the gemstone element 2 and the second gemstone element 3 are formed of different gemstone materials, so that the first gemstone element 2 and the second gemstone element 3 have different refractive indices. In particular, the first gemstone element has a refractive index which is smaller than a refractive index of the second gemstone element.

Furthermore, the decorative element 4 formed as a gem has a third color per se, which differs from the first and second colors. The gem has as well a refractive index higher than the refractive index of the first gemstone element.

Due to the different colors of the gemstone elements 2, 3, the

Gemstone arrangement 1 with a different color than the first and the second color appear. Further, by the different colors of the first gemstone element 2 and the decorative element 4 formed as a gem, the decorative element 4 is dyed without artificial working with a color other than its original color. In particular, when the gemstone is colorless, it appears with the first color of the first gemstone element 2. In other words, the gemstone looks as if it had the first color of the first gemstone element 2 per se.

In addition, an improved light output is achieved due to the smaller refractive index of the first gemstone element 2 compared to the second gemstone element 3. The higher refractive index of the decorative element 4 designed as a gem compared to the first gemstone element 2 has the advantage that the gemstone arrangement 1 shines more.

It can be seen that optical effects can be achieved by the design of the gemstone stone arrangement 1 according to the second embodiment, which could never be reached by a single gemstone (without embedded gemstone, in this case gemstone).

For producing the gemstone assembly 1, a first gemstone and a second gemstone may each be divided into two parts, of which one part of the first gemstone is used as the first gemstone element 2 and one part of the second gemstone is used as the second gemstone element 3.

Alternatively, a first gemstone element and a second gemstone element may be connected directly by means of the bonding layer to form an assembly, the assembly subsequently being ground. The first gemstone element and the second gemstone element are prior to the connecting step elements of gemstones not in cut form, but in cut form, in particular in block form. It should be noted that before the connecting step, the decorative element 4 is embedded in the recess.

In Fig. 3, a gemstone assembly 1 according to a third embodiment of the present invention is shown. In contrast to the gemstone stone arrangements 1 of Figures 1 and 2, a decorative element 4 is provided in the form of a metal insert in the gemstone stone arrangement 1 of the third embodiment.

Here too, the decorative element 4 is completely mounted in the recess 5 formed in the second gemstone element 3, wherein the first gemstone element 2 and the second gemstone element 3 are directly connected to one another by means of the connecting intermediate layer. However, in comparison to the previous embodiments, not only an upper part of the decorative element 4 is in direct contact with the intermediate layer 6, but the complete decorative element 4. In other words, the decorative element 4 is completely embedded in the intermediate layer 6 or of the intermediate layer 6 surrounded.

4 shows a gemstone assembly 1 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.

In this case, a carrier element 7 in the form of a glass part 70 is arranged between the first gemstone element 2 and the second gemstone element 3. The recess 5 of the gemstone arrangement 1, in which the decorative element 4 is located, is formed in the glass part 70. The glass part 70 is further connected to the first gem stone element 2 and the second gem stone element 3, so that the decorative element 4 is embedded in the gem stone arrangement 1.

In particular, the glass part 70 is connected to the first gem stone element 2 by means of a connecting intermediate layer 8, wherein a region of an upper part 40 of the decorative element 4 is in direct contact with the intermediate layer 8.

Advantageously, an upper part 40 of the decorative element 4 designed as a gemstone is embedded in the intermediate layer 8. The upper part 40 of the decorative element 4 preferably comprises a panel 43 and / or upper facets 44 of the gemstone or corresponds to an upper part 45 of the gemstone. The panel 43 or the upper facets 44 correspond to a region of the upper part 40 of the decorative element 4.

Below the contact region 15, a region 52 of the recess 5 has only vacuum or air. On the other hand, an area 51 of the recess 5 is advantageously above the contact region 15 filled with material of the intermediate layer 8. The region 52 below the contact region 15 corresponds to a lower region of the recess 5, the region 51 above the contact region corresponding to an upper region of the recess 5. In this case, the upper part 45 of the gemstone faces the upper region 51 of the recess 5 and the lower part 42 of the gemstone faces the lower region 52 of the recess.

Furthermore, the glass part 70 is connected to the second gemstone element 3 by means of another connecting intermediate layer 9.

The intermediate layer 8 and the further connecting intermediate layer 9 can each be designed in particular as an adhesive film, laminating film, adhesive or another compound.

Furthermore, the first gemstone element 2 is shaped such that it has an upper part 20. Furthermore, the second gemstone element 3 is designed such that it has a lower part 30. The support member 7 corresponds to a round list 21st

By providing a carrier element 7, in this case a glass part 70, the manufacturing process of the gemstone arrangement 1 is simplified.

5, a gemstone assembly 1 according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention is shown.

The gemstone arrangement 1 according to the fifth embodiment substantially corresponds to that of FIG. 1.

These differ in that, according to the fifth exemplary embodiment, a plurality of decorative elements 4 embodied as gemstones are arranged in the gemstone arrangement 1.

For this purpose, a plurality of completely formed in the second gemstone element 3 recesses 5 is provided, wherein in each recess 5, a decorative element 4 is arranged.

All decorative elements 4 are identical. This means that all the decorative elements 4 are made of the same material and have the same color, size and shape. In particular, the decorative elements 4 are white (colorless transparent) diamonds. Accordingly, the recesses 5 are designed to receive the diamonds identical. Another difference between the gemstone arrangement of FIG. 1 and the gemstone arrangement 1 according to the fifth embodiment is that in the gemstone arrangement 1 according to the fifth embodiment, the first gemstone element 2 and the second gemstone element 3 have a smaller refractive index than the refractive index of the diamonds. It should be noted that the first gemstone element 2 and the second gemstone element 3 are made of the same gemstone material as in the gemstone stone arrangement 1 of FIG. 1. Furthermore, the first gemstone element 2 and the second gemstone element 3 have a color (the same color) that is different from the "white" (colorless transparent) color of the brilliants. For example, the first gemstone element 2 and the second gemstone element 3 are sapphire parts.

The brilliants are further arranged in a common plane at the same height h, wherein the height h is measured from an upper surface 22 of the gemstone assembly 1.

The arrangement of each diamond in the associated recess 5 corresponds to that of the decorative element 4 in the gemstone arrangement 1 of FIG. 1.

Due to the higher refractive index of the brilliants gemstone arrangement 1 is brightened.

If the height h in which the brilliants are located is 1/3 of a total height of the gemstone assembly 1, the color filter effect of sapphire is reduced so that the gemstone assembly 1 has a new bright color.

Fig. 6 shows a gemstone assembly 1 according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention.

The gemstone arrangement 1 according to the sixth embodiment substantially corresponds to that of FIG. 1.

The fundamental difference is that in the gemstone arrangement 1 according to the sixth embodiment, the gem formed as a decorative element 4 has a smaller base angle ß than the bottom angle a of the second gemstone element 3 and the gemstone arrangement 1, and that the first gemstone element 2 and the second Gemstone element 3 have a common color.

Particularly preferably, the decorative element, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element consist of the same gemstone material, so that the gem formed as the decorative element 4 has the same color. In particular The decorative element, the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element consist of a gemstone material whose sparkle depends proportionally on the bottom angle of a gemstone made of this material.

Due to the steeper base angle ß of the embedded gemstone compared to the bottom part angle a of the gemstone stone arrangement 1, the light output, the sparkling and the glow of the gemstone stone arrangement 1 improves.

In Fig. 7, a jewelry 100 is shown, which has a gemstone arrangement 1 according to a seventh embodiment and a socket 90 for receiving the gemstone stone arrangement 1. The jewelry 1 is in this case a pendant for a chain. For this purpose, the socket 90 has a region 91 over which the jewelry 1 can be attached to the chain. The jewelry 1 may also be a ring, a bracelet, an earring or the like.

Here, a plurality of decorative elements 4 is implanted in the gemstone arrangement 1, which are formed as gemstones. The decorative elements 4 are mounted in corresponding arrangements 5 of the gemstone arrangement 1 such that the decorative elements 4 form the victory sign. By the targeted positioning of decorative elements 4 within the gemstone arrangement 1 any characters can be displayed.

It should be noted that for the sake of illustration, the gemstone arrangements 1 according to the previously described embodiments have the shape of a brilliant cut stone. However, the gemstone assembly 1 may have the shape of a gemstone in a different cut.
