The present invention was proposed in view of the above circumstances, and it is intended to provide a highly decorative necklace top that can express the feelings and feelings that the user thinks by using the selected two-letter alphabet design as a base. I am aiming.

In order to achieve the above object, the necklace top (1) according to claim 1 of the present invention is used by selecting and using two arbitrary alphabetic characters, and for each character, two front-view characters and two back-view characters are used as a whole. It is characterized in that a plurality of jewels (40) are arranged on the entire upper surface of a metal body (10) composed of shapes that are combined so as to be line-symmetrically overlapped.

2. The necklace top of claim 1 is characterized in that the two arbitrary letters of the alphabet are different letters.

A third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the necklace top of the first aspect, the two arbitrary letters of the alphabet are the same character.

According to claim 4, in the necklace top according to any one of claims 1 to 3, if an end is present in any of the selected alphabetic characters, the end is curved and connected to the metal body side. It is characterized by the design.

A fifth aspect of the present invention is the necklace top according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein one jewel (40) is arranged at a position where the alphabet letters intersect in the metal body (10). It is supposed to be.

According to the necklace top of the present invention, when selecting two letters of the alphabet, by selecting the combination of the initials of the user's name or the combination of the initials of close people, the user's own thoughts and feelings can be expressed in the necklace top. It can be expressed in the design.

FIG. 5 is a design diagram of a basic pattern in which two front-view characters and two back-view characters of the two letters of the alphabet of FIG. 15 are combined.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a plan explanatory view of a necklace top according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The necklace top 1 is composed of a metal body 10 designed based on arbitrary alphabetic characters and a hanging portion 20. An annular portion 30 is formed at the upper end of the metal body 10, and a hanging portion 20 is connected to the annular portion 30. The necklace top 1 can be used as a necklace by attaching a chain to the hanging portion 20.

Next, the structure of the metal body 10 will be described.
The design of the metal body 10 is determined by the process shown below.
First, the user selects any two characters from the 26 letters of the alphabet. The user selects a favorite character such as his / her initials for the two characters. For example, when the selected characters are "K" and "S" (Fig. 2), the four front-view characters 101 and 102 and the back-view characters 201 and 202 for each character are overlapped line-symmetrically. A combined basic pattern (FIG. 3) is created, and a flat metal body 10 in which the basic pattern is three-dimensionalized is molded by press working. The metal body 10 is made of, for example, a precious metal bullion such as gold, silver, or platinum.

The molded metal body 10 is composed of a line portion 11 corresponding to a character portion and a plurality of hole portions 12 (21 in the case of this example) that are locations other than the line portion. The number of holes 12 varies depending on the two characters to be combined, but the number of holes 12 is about 9 to 31.

A plurality of jewels 40 are arranged in a row on the entire upper surface of the line portion 11. For the gem 40, a natural stone such as a diamond or an artificial ornament is used. Each jewel 40 is fixed by a conventional method (engraving, bullion, etc.) that has existed in the past. For example, in the case of engraving, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, recesses 13 are engraved on the upper surface of the line portion 11, jewels 40 are installed in the recesses 13, and jewels 40 are placed at four locations around the jewels 40. The metal body to be the claw 14 is formed on the metal body 10 to fix it.

One jewel 40 is arranged at the intersection (position where the alphabet characters intersect) between the characters in the basic pattern of the line portion 11 of the metal body 10.
At the upper end of the metal body 10, an oval hanging portion 20 which is elongated in the vertical direction and has a horizontal plane on the upper surface side is attached. A plurality of (12 in this example) jewels 40 are also attached to the surface side of the hanging portion 20.

Further, the four ends of the alphabet character "K" and the two ends of the alphabet character "S" in the basic pattern of the line portion 11 are curved to form the line portion (metal body side) 11 of another character. Adopt a design that connects.
By adopting this design and by combining the selected two characters so that the whole is line-symmetrical, the overall design of the metal body 10 is similar even if the two characters to be selected are different. Can be made into something.

For example, when "S" and "Y" (FIG. 6) are selected from the alphabet letters, the basic pattern as shown in FIG. 7 is obtained, and the necklace top 1 shown in FIG. 5 is obtained.
When "A" and "K" (FIG. 9) are selected from the alphabetic characters, the basic pattern as shown in FIG. 10 is obtained, and the necklace top 1 shown in FIG. 8 is obtained.
When "I" and "T" (FIG. 12) are selected from the alphabet letters, the basic pattern as shown in FIG. 13 is obtained, and the necklace top 1 shown in FIG. 11 is obtained.

In each of the above examples, the two characters selected from the 26 letters of the alphabet are composed of different characters, but the two letters of the alphabet may be the same character.

For example, when the same letters "T" and "T" (FIG. 15) are selected from the alphabet letters, the basic pattern as shown in FIG. 16 is obtained, and the necklace top 1 shown in FIG. 14 is obtained.

The necklace top 1 shown in FIGS. 5, 8, 11 and 14 has a different overall design atmosphere, including the one shown in FIG. 1, although the shape of the details is different. The user can express the alphabetic characters selected by himself / herself in the design even if the design looks similar as a whole.

According to the necklace top of the present invention, when selecting two letters of the alphabet, by selecting the combination of the initials of one's name or the combination of the initials of close people, the design of the necklace top expresses one's thoughts and feelings. Can be expressed in.
