Description

  The present invention relates to a support structure for diamond or other jewels.

Conventionally, various kinds of jewelry including diamond have been used by being fitted to a base for mounting.
For example, when diamond is used for a ring, a support structure is often used in which the ring main body has a standing nail, and a jewelry is sandwiched and pressed by the standing nail.
Furthermore, it has a concave part that can fit, for example, a diamond papillion part without using a standing nail, and fits the pavilion part centering on the curette and the girdle part as necessary to fit the diamond in the concave part. Some use support structures.
In addition, there is JP 2000-236922 (Patent Document 1).
In this configuration, there are four fixed claws in an attachment recess formed in the main body of the ring, and diamond is disposed between the fixed claws.

Furthermore, there is JP-A-2001-87016 (Patent Document 2).
Such a configuration is a decorative member in which a jewel composed of a frustum-shaped crown portion and a conical pavilion portion is fixed by a holder, and the nail of the holder composed of three or more nails is a jewel crown portion and a papillion It is a decorative member that comes into close contact with the part by line contact.
In addition, not only diamond but also other jewelry are often used by attaching them to standing nails or recesses.
Further, when jewelry is used in other accessories such as necklaces, earrings or brooches in addition to rings, when jewelry is mounted on the base, it is worn by standing nails or dents.
JP 2000-236922 A JP 2001-87016 A

As described above, the attachment of the jewel to the base part is generally performed by a metal member such as a standing nail or a nail part or by fitting into a dent part or the like.
In this case, even when a plurality of jewelry is mounted on one base, each jewelry is mounted with standing nails and dents.
In these cases, the arrangement and size of the nails of the jewelry is a hindrance to the light transmission of the gemstones, etc., and the optimal standing nails are used by considering the arrangement and size.
Therefore, from the viewpoint of design, it is required to eliminate the standing nail portion as much as possible, but it is required to use a certain degree of standing nail for tight wearing of jewelry.

Furthermore, in the type in which jewels are fitted into the recesses, the other side of the jewelry is fitted into the recesses of the metal, so that the reflection of the light is obtained, but the shine by the transmitted light is not obtained. In this case, it is necessary to provide a base bottom portion that takes this into consideration.
Therefore, it is desired to provide some kind of support structure that is more natural and can be designed to obtain the shine of jewelry itself.

The present invention solves such a problem, and has a nail and a dent for at least one piece of jewelry, with respect to a base portion on which jewelry is attached not only to a ring but also to other accessories such as necklaces, earrings or brooches. First, it provides a support structure that can support at least one or more jewelry by other jewelry, and the one or more jewelry can obtain the shine of the jewelry itself and is extremely combined with other jewelry. It provides a support structure for jewelry that is superior in design.
Therefore, the invention according to claim 1 is a jewel support structure that supports at least three or more jewels on a support base, and the at least one or more jewels are supported by two or more other jewels. It comprises a jewel support structure that fixes one or more jewels to a support base, and the above-mentioned problems can be solved by the invention.

Next, the invention according to claim 2 is a jewel support structure for fixing at least one jewel by placing a plurality of other jewels in contact with at least one or more jewel girdles. Can solve the problem as well.
Furthermore, the invention according to claim 3 comprises a support structure for a jewel, wherein the support jewel supporting one or more jewels is supported on a support base by standing claws, whereby the support jewel can be supported, and the center to be supported by the support jewel It will be able to support the fixed state of the jewel.
Alternatively, as in the invention according to claim 4, the supporting jewel that supports one or more jewels may be a jewel supporting structure that is supported by a support base or other supporting jewels by brazing.
In these cases, the jewel may include any one or more of diamond, emerald, sapphire, agate, crystal, ruby, jade, and topaz as in the invention according to claim 5, and as in the invention according to claim 6. It may be used for a support for a necklace, or may be used for a support for a ring as in the invention according to claim 7.

Regarding the gemstone to be supported on the support base, the at least one gemstone that is most desired to be exposed can be fixedly supported on the outermost center gemstone by supporting and fixing the other gemstone on the outer periphery thereof. The outer periphery of the jewel is not provided with standing nails or the like, can be obstructed, and is arranged in contact with other jewels, so that the appearance of the jewel is more clearly and aesthetically pleasing. it can.
Therefore, it is possible to provide a gem with extremely high aesthetics.
Furthermore, the transmitted light and reflected light can be further changed by the supporting jewel located on the outer periphery of the jewel, and any combination of jewel types can be performed. It can also be expanded.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a jewel using the jewel support structure according to the present invention.
First, one jewel 1 located in the center is arranged in contact with three girdles of approximately the same size of jewels 2 in the upper direction and diagonally downward directions on the left and right sides. There are a total of three slightly smaller jewels 3 between the two, and the slightly smaller jewels 3 are in contact with the girdle of one jewel 1 located in the center.
The three large jewels 2 and the three slightly smaller jewels 3 are in contact with the central jewel 1 located in the center, and support the central jewel 1 from the surroundings, thereby becoming supporting jewels.

Further, the three large jewels 2 and the slightly smaller jewels 1 are supported by standing nail portions 51 that protrude from the base 5.
By configuring in this way, the jewel 1 located at the center can be supported from the surrounding by another jewel, that is, a supporting jewel.
As a result, for the central gemstone that is most desired to express its shine, the original shine of the gemstone can be expressed without contacting a supporting member such as a standing nail formed of a metal member or the like.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent a state in which the jewelry due to standing nails is hidden.
Furthermore, the central gemstone can be expressed more beautifully by the brightness of the adjacent supporting gemstones, and it is possible to provide gemstones with excellent design.

As a gemstone shown in this figure, diamond is clearly shown as an example. Especially for diamond, the brightness of the light generated from the cut surface of the diamond due to the transmission and reflection of light is very important, and diamond should be used as the adjacent supporting jewelry. Thus, further shine can be expressed by transmitting and reflecting light on the cut surface of the support diamond.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, other gems such as emerald, sapphire, coral, crystal, ruby, jade, topaz, etc. may be used as the supporting gem.

Even in this case, each jewel can make other jewels stand out, and it is possible to provide a jewel that is more excellent in design.
Of course, the center jewel may be other jewels instead of diamonds.
Although the support at the girdle portion is clearly shown, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a central gemstone to be supported, for example, a diamond pavilion portion may be supported by a supporting gem's girdle portion, or vice versa. The pavilion part of another supporting jewel may be in contact with and support the girdle part of the jewel to be supported.

FIG. 2 has three large gemstones 1 as central gemstones, and each of the three gemstones is arranged in a substantially triangular shape in contact with other gemstones.
In this case, the jewel 10 located at the center is the largest, and two jewels 11 slightly smaller than the large jewel are arranged in the left and right upward direction of the jewel, and the three constitute the central jewel 1.
Further, three small jewels 3 are provided outside the contact positions of the three central jewels, and a total of 13 medium jewels 2 are disposed so as to surround the outer periphery thereof.

These small jewels 3 and medium jewels 2 are supported by surrounding the three central jewels 1 at the center in contact with each other from the outer periphery.
Accordingly, the small jewel 3 and the medium jewel 2 serve as supporting jewels and support the central jewel 1.
The size of these gemstones shown in this figure has a slight difference depending on their position, and it expresses a heart-shaped shape as a whole. It is a figure which shows an example assembled in this way.
Note that the medium jewel 3 and the small jewel 2 are supported on the base 5 by standing claws 51, respectively.
In this case, the arrangement position of the standing claw 51 is the standing claw 51 that can support the supporting jewels 2 and 3 located on the outer periphery, and the configuration in this figure is an example and is not limited to this shape.

In FIG. 3, a central gemstone 1 is arranged in the center, a medium gemstone 2 is arranged as a supporting gemstone on each of the upper, lower, left and right sides, and small gemstones 3 are arranged at four locations between the supporting gemstones 2 arranged in four directions. It is a figure which shows the example of the other support structure arranged.
In this case, one end of the outer peripheral end of the intermediate supporting jewel 2 in the upper, lower, left, and right directions is supported by standing nails 51, and each of the outer peripheral portions where the small jewels arranged in four places and the outer intermediate jewels are in contact with each other. 51.
In this case, with regard to the standing claw 51, the standing claw 51 provided at the outer peripheral end of the supporting jewel 2 is constituted by the supporting column part 50 and the base part 5 of the base 5, and has other shapes. This is an example, and is not limited to this form.

Therefore, the standing claw 51 supports the small jewel 3 for support including the support at the outer circumferential portion and the medium jewel 2, that is, the support jewel at arbitrary positions, but the central jewel 1 is arranged on the outer periphery thereof. The supporting jewels 2 and 3 are supported.
FIG. 4 is a view of the jewel according to FIG. 3 viewed from the lateral direction. A necklace chain 6 penetrates between pillars 50 on the base 5, and the base 5 also supports the jewelry. 52 has an upright claw 51 and a bottom 53 spaced from the support base 52.

That is, the bottom portion 53 and the support base 52 are supported by the column portion 50, and the chain 6 penetrates between the column portions 50.
Further, the support base 52 has standing claws 51 for supporting jewelry.
However, the jewels 2 and 3 supported by the standing claws 51 are so-called supporting jewels located in the outer peripheral portion, and the jewel 1 in the central portion is supported by the supporting jewels 2 and 3.

The reason for having a cavity in the lower part of the jewelry as shown in this figure is to more clearly express the transmitted light and reflected light of the diamond.
As described above, by supporting at least one or more jewels with other jewels located on the outer peripheral portion of the jewels to be supported, the jewels supported by the jewels should have a very good appearance. Thus, it is possible to prevent a part from being hidden by a standing nail as in the prior art, and to express a further aesthetic appearance by connecting with a supporting jewel.

In addition, regarding the supporting gemstone, in the description of the present specification, the drawing clearly shows that the supporting gemstone is supported by the standing nail. However, the supporting gemstone is not limited thereto, and the supporting gemstone is provided with a hole or a groove in the base portion. It may be arranged at a fixed position by fitting or so.
Further, the supporting jewels are not limited to the ones locked by the standing claws, but may be ones that place the supporting jewels at fixed positions by brazing, for example.

Of course, it may be one that is arranged on the support base by brazing, or one that can support each supporting jewel in a fixed position by brazing in the support between the supporting jewels.
Alternatively, when the central gemstone is privately supported by a supporting gemstone, reinforcing brazing may be provided at a position where the central gemstone touches the central gemstone.
The present invention is a support structure for a jewel, and the jewel supported by such a structure is not limited to a necklace, for example, a ring, a bracelet, an earring, or a variety of jewelry or daily necessities. It may be used in some cases.
