Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ornament of a pearl mother shell, which is improved in artistry and fashion property like stained glass by assimilating the art nature of a handiwork and the jewelry nature as accessories. <P>SOLUTION: Inkjet printing technology is used for drawing an art image on the pearl mother shell 1. The reason for using inkjet printing technology is the following advantages. Since the particles of dye and pigment of ink have a thickness of micron dimensions, the art shows through, thereby reflecting interference fringe and interference color in the art portion, and since three primary colors are not reflected in a white area of the image, the area is not printed, and since ink is injected, even if the shell surface as a printing object is not flat, but a little rugged, printing can be performed on the surface. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a mother-of-pearl shell and a decoration, and is directed to a polished mother-of-pearl surface with art drawn on it, a mother-of-pearl shell with art and design printed thereon, and a decoration equipped with the mother-of-pearl shell. It is said.

In the world of crafts, there are lacquer crafts that use lacquer painting techniques in which lacquer is drawn on the polished pearl mother shell surface and gold, silver, tin, colored powder, etc. are attached. Colors that appear to be complex in interference fringes formed by the interference of the white light of the pearl layer itself and interference colors that appear as an oil film floating on the surface of water are not reflected because of the thickness of the material used for coating . If the background is left as a pearl shell and the art part is a lacquer painting, you can still enjoy some interference colors, but there is a lacquer painting on the surface of the pearl mussel shell, and the pearl mother shell is used. There are things that I don't understand. In recent years, in the world of accessories, there are pendants where you can enjoy interference fringes and colors by decorating pearl mother shells that are simply polished and shaped without any art.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-56452

  An object of the present invention is to fuse artistic properties of crafts with jewelery as an accessory. If the art portion of the polished pearl mother shell is transparent or transparent, it is not opaque, and the interference fringes and interference colors of the nacre of the pearl shell overlap with various colors of the art to make the art color subtle. Changes appear, and the surface of the pearl shell, including the art part, is reflected in glitter and light, and it is possible to provide an ornament for the pearl shell that has improved art and fashion like a stained glass.

  In order to achieve the above object, this problem is solved by using an ink jet printing technique for the nacre.

  The reason for using ink-jet printing technology is that, for example, a transparent filter paper that supports ink-jet printing is set on a commercially available general business or household printer, and a transparent film paper on which a photograph, art, or design is printed is held toward the light source. The other side can be seen through like a glass, and the color becomes bright and beautiful like a fluorescent color. This is because ink dyes and pigments have a micron-thickness of particles, and the art can be seen through, so it is possible to reflect interference fringes and interference colors in the art part, and the white part of the image has the three primary colors. Ink jet printing technology is used to solve this problem because it is not reflected and printing is not performed, and ink is ejected, so the surface of the shell to be printed is not flat and can be printed even on some uneven surfaces. .

One of the problems facing the jewelery industry is the making of goods. There is a cameo as a pearl mother-of-pearl jewelery, but there is no glossiness although the design has a three-dimensional effect by cutting the shell. Inkjet printing makes it possible to turn the face of a cameo woman into a flesh and make the hair black or blonde. Generally, pearls have a high-class image. The mother of pearls that raised the pearls have a beautiful shine like pearls, and the decorations using the mother of pearls can be a new item. Various expression methods can be realized by relieving the limitations of traditional opec (opaque) art such as lacquer work and color expression. The same art can be mass-produced by printing instead of handmade by craftsmen. The mother of pearls are grown only to produce pearls, and you will not see them at sushi restaurants or fish shops. The mother of pearl is industrial waste after the collection of pearls. New fashion items can be provided to women who enjoy art as fashion.
[Type of shells used]
The pearl mother shells include sea oyster bivalve oyster shellfish, white butterfly shell, black butterfly shell, red butterfly shellfish, mabe shellfish and sea bream bivalve squid butterfly shellfish, flounder butterfly, kawashinju shellfish, Crow shells, dove shells and the like are well known, but the type of pearl mother shell used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a beautiful shell of interference color. It is desirable to have a high-class image as a shellfish and easily available.

  In addition, it is not a pearl mother shell, but shells used for cameos such as beetles and stones such as agate can also be used.
