Description

The present invention relates to an object of jewelery, accessories and

watch

  Jewelery and watchmaking know many devices using on the one hand decorative pieces including small cut stones, and on the other hand a transparent stone to use it to produce a certain effect on the said pieces decorative or ornamental.

  Recently, jewelery items have also been made, with the facetted transparent upper stone being used to reflect and reflect the brilliance of small cut stones creating light plays, or serving as an optical multiplier. In the same way, we have also created jewels with ornamental motifs, crimped or not, covered with a convex transparent stone, in order to create a magnifying effect and thus to see its enlarged patterns. All these jewels containing these inventions, incorporate ornamental motifs set with small stones which necessarily reach a very high cost.

  In its application to a pendant, the present invention also uses a transparent upper body and refracting such as a natural stone or resin, but in no way uses one or more natural or synthetic gems cut, underlying the transparent body.

  However, the present invention is not limited to a pendant and can be applied for example to earrings, bracelets of any kind, rings, pins, watches, and 9.5 objects. ' accessories.

  The object of jewelery, accessories and timepieces according to the invention is thus characterized in that flakes, such as flakes of crystals, glass, metals, fabrics, gelatin, mother-of-pearl, of plastic materials, of stone, are mixed or not and arranged and or stuck fixedly or freely in a planar cavity or not of a body and the flat base or not of a natural or artificial transparent upper body glued and or set on it body to create an exceptional volume of brilliance at a lower cost.

  According to an important feature of the invention, the flakes are disposed in the cavity of a base of a transparent or opaque body such as a pendant mount, and the base of a transparent upper body and refracting such that a resin stone or natural stone.

  The size and shape of the transparent upper body L40 is of little importance and does not play an essential role in the invention because it serves as an aesthetic backdrop when the artist wishes to use various colors of this body and ensures a perfect seal glitter. The transparent body may be of curved shape or be provided with edges and facets, and this transparent body may also be a thin stone or may also be made of crystal, resin, or even glass.

  The invention will be better understood and other characteristic purposes, details and advantages thereof will appear more clearly from the explanatory description which follows, with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawings given solely as examples illustrating two embodiments of FIG. the invention and in which FIG. 1 represents, viewed from above a pendant or sequins are arranged.

  Fig.2 is a top view of an example of transparent body.

  FIG. 3 is a top view of the pendant of FIG. 1 covered by the transparent body of FIG. 2 FIG. 4 is a partly sectional side view of FIG. 3 where the flakes are arranged and covered by the transparent upper body.

  The drawings show mainly the application of the present invention to a pendent QU-shaped jewelery object, but the invention is equally applicable to other objects of jewelery, accessories and watches such as as earrings, belts, brooches, necklaces, watches, rings, etc. The pendant constituting an object of jewelery is composed in a known manner of a body formed of a bail 6 and a kitten 1 which is surmounted by a stone or a transparent body 5. The material of the body of the pendant does not is not concerned with the invention which could be as well metal as in resin or any other material.

  According to the invention, flakes 3 are fixedly and / or freely, by gluing or incrustation, in a cavity 2, delimited by a flat or chamfered edge 4. In addition, this flange 4 serves as a support for a transparent body 5, this transparent body is thus bonded and or crimped by means of clean means on the flange 4. The base of the transparent body 5 thus marries the rim 4 of the shape of the body of the object in the shape of a pendant 1.

  Glitter 3 may vary in shape, size, and color. They can also be made of metals, crystals, mother-of-pearl glass, fabrics, gelatin, polyester or any other material having a high reflective and scintillating power. As if the body 1 of the object is made of metal, the flakes can be directly etched or embedded in the cavity 2.

  The size, material, color, and shape of the transparent upper body does not matter, but must be transparent.

  In fact, this transparent body 5 may as well be curved as to be provided with ridges and facets or be a simple plate. The transparent body 5 serves in fact aesthetic decoration and protection glitter 3 thus ensuring a perfect seal thanks to the bonding of the base of the transparent body 5 on the rim 4 of the frame 1. the transparent body 5 will also create a mysterious and secret effect with glitter 3.

  In fact, the important point is that the flakes 3 are fixedly or freely disposed between the base 4 of a body and the base 5 of a transparent body, so that the flakes 3 disposed in a cavity 2 associated with the body transparent 5 produce an exceptional volume of brilliance at a lower cost.

  Thus, although glitter 3 is usually tiny squares they could very well represent another shape. In the same way that flakes 3 are shown arranged in a cavity 2 of square shape, this cavity 2 can be rounded and or curved and have any shape that the artist will have to make according to customer demand and design. of the object in particular when the present invention is not implemented on a pendant but the object of jewelry, is for example a brooch, a necklace, a watch, a pendant, a bracelet, a ring etc. Also the arrangement of the flakes 3 does not necessarily fill the entire cavity 2, but they could be arranged in another way, just as the depth and shape of the cavity does not matter.

  Also the very interesting point of the present invention is that the flakes 3 are associated with powders of 3C different materials, such as diamond powder. This mixture associated with the transparent body 5 will create a product that will be commercially very interesting.

  The invention is not limited to the embodiments shown and described in detail since various modifications can be made thereto.
