Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an ornament that does not use rhinestones but looks almost the same as an ornament studded with rhinestones.

[Conventional technology]

Imitation diamonds made of glass with a reflective silver mirror pasted on the back are called rhinestones (commonly known as new diamonds).Since ancient times, these rhinestones have come in various sizes, colors, and shapes, but usually The most commonly used type is a 17-sided cut with a diameter of 1 to 3 m/m.
Many of them are colorless.

These rhinestones cost only a few yen each, and are cheap considering their quality and effectiveness as decorative items.
It has been widely used in the production of decorative items since ancient times.

When installing these rhinestones, either make a recess that matches the size and shape of the rhinestone on the decorative mounting surface and fix the rhinestone in this recess with adhesive, or use the same method as when installing a real diamond. Place several nails etc. on the edge of the dent,
There are methods such as fixing the rhinestones with these nails or the like, or first attaching the rhinestones to the metal fittings as described above, and then attaching them again to predetermined locations on the ornament.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, if the ornament itself is not made of precious metal and is finished with a nickel base plating and then gold plating, the method of attaching rhinestones by bending the nails after plating is not practical because the nails are likely to break or get damaged. Not on target. Furthermore, the method of plating the rhinestones after attaching them tends to damage the rhinestones, and the method of pasting the rhinestones with adhesive or the like after plating has the disadvantage that the rhinestones tend to come off during use later. Moreover, in any case, if several tens or hundreds of rhinestones are to be attached to one ornament, the labor involved in attaching them becomes enormous, which is extremely disadvantageous economically, and is completely unsuitable for industrial production.

[Means for solving problems]

The gist of the present invention is to form or attach a metal decorative bead to a metal part of an ornament, and then to machine a radial ridge line pattern on the decorative surface of the decorative bead. An ornament characterized by having a silver or white glossy plating applied to the surface and plating of the same color or a different color to other metal parts, and the silver or white glossy plating part appearing in a diamond-like inlaid pattern part. This decorative item is advantageous by applying gold plating to the metal part including the decorative surface of the decorative bead, and then plating only the decorative surface of the decorative bead with silver or white glossy plating. can be obtained.

[Effect]

As mentioned above, in the present invention, a radial ridge line pattern is formed on the decorative surface of the decorative beads by mechanical processing such as pressing, and this part is plated with silver or white gloss, so at first glance it may look like a radial ridgeline pattern. It creates a reflection that looks like rhinestones are inlaid, and when viewed from several tens of centimeters away, it is almost indistinguishable from rhinestones.

In addition, if the color of the plating on the part corresponding to the rhinestones (silver or white glossy plating color) is different from the color of the plating on the metal body part, it takes time and effort to only plate the former part, but conventional methods Compared to attaching rhinestones, the effort involved is extremely small, and it has the advantage of being able to provide ornaments that have almost the same appearance as rhinestones and are much cheaper.

The present invention can be applied not only to chains but also to ornaments such as brooches and rings. In addition, although the shape of the pattern corresponding to the rhinestones in the embodiment is a rice seal shape with radially intersecting edges, it is sufficient that the reflection situation resembles rhinestones as a result.
Generally speaking, it is sufficient to have around 8 strips radially following each other.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained below using an example shown in the drawings, but the present invention is not limited in any way by this.

[Conventional example]

Figure 1 shows a spherical decorative bead 2, also made of red bronze, attached to the center of the chain 1 of a chain made of red copper fabric, usually called a Kihei chain or a curved chain, with a nickel base plated and a gold finish plated. A rhinestone 3 is fitted into the center of the ball 2 according to the method previously described.

This is done by press-processing one side of the decorative beads 2 to make a dent that matches the bottom dimension of the rhinestone.
The whole body, including the chain link 1, is first plated with a nickel base plate and then finished with a gold plate, and then the rhinestones are attached to the recesses one by one with adhesive.

[Example of the present invention]

In FIG. 1, a rice seal-shaped pattern (radial ridge line pattern) 3 is pressed on the same decorative bead 2,
The entire body is plated with nickel base plating, followed by gold finish plating, and then the patterned portion 3 is finished with glossy white plating, such as rhodium plating, using the intercalation plating method.

〔Effect of the invention〕

When the products according to the conventional example and the example of the present invention were visually observed from a distance of 30 cm or more under normal lighting, it was found that there was almost no difference in their decorative effects.
Furthermore, the product according to the present invention exhibited the advantage that the material cost and labor cost were much lower than the product according to the conventional example.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example in which the present invention is applied to a decorative chain. 1... chain link, 2... decorative ball, 3... ridge line pattern section.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claims] 1. After forming or attaching a metal decorative bead to a metal part of an ornament, a radial ridge line pattern is machined on the decorative surface of the decorative bead, and the decorative surface of the decorative bead is An ornament characterized by having silver or white glossy plating applied to the metal parts, and plating other metal parts with the same color or a different color, and making the silvery or white glossy plating parts appear in the diamond-like inlaid pattern part. 2. The decorative article according to claim 1, wherein the metal part including the decorative surface of the decorative ball is plated with gold, and then silver or white glossy plating is applied only to the decorative surface of the decorative ball.
