DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an ornament, and more particularly to a method of manufacturing an ornament that creates a pattern of crystal structure on the surface of an ornament made of gold or a gold alloy.

Conventionally, in order to produce the crystal structure pattern of ornaments made of gold or gold alloys, such as gold plates, rings, bracelets, pendants, wristwatch sides and frames, eyeglass frames, necklaces, ties, cufflinks, etc., It was common to electropolish the workpiece in a cyan bath or chromium oxide bath after annealing it. Cyan baths include H 2 O−KCN baths and H 2 O−KCN−
A K2CO3 - HAuCl4 bath was used, and a H2O - CH3COOH - Cr2O3 bath was used as the chromium oxide bath.

However, both baths are extremely dangerous because they contain harmful substances such as cyanide and chromium, and when the baths become obsolete, they have the disadvantage that they must be treated with special equipment.

On the other hand, there are electrolytic polishing baths that do not contain these harmful substances, such as H 2 O-HCl baths, but they lose surface luster and erase the crystal structure planes created by annealing, so they are not used as decorative items. is not desirable.
Therefore, there is a strong desire for the development of an electrolytic polishing bath that can bring out the crystallographic planes even more sharply without losing the surface luster, and it is highly desirable to quickly establish a method for producing ornaments with crystallographic patterns of gold or gold alloys. It was wanted.

The present invention is a decorative article characterized in that a processed article made of gold or a gold alloy is annealed and then electrolytically polished in a bath consisting of thiourea, sulfuric acid, and water to have a crystal structure pattern of gold or a gold alloy. This is a method for producing ornaments using an electrolytic polishing bath characterized by containing 5 to 200 g of thiourea, 1 to 100 ml of sulfuric acid, and residual water.

In the manufacturing method of the present invention, a processed product made of gold or a gold alloy is used because gold or a gold alloy has a golden color. As a gold alloy,
Au-Ag-Cu alloy, this alloy with Zn, Ni, etc. added, Au-Ni-Cu-Zn alloy, Au-Ag
-Pd alloy, Au-Fe alloy, Au-Ni alloy, Au-
Examples include Cu-Pd alloys. Further, the reason why a workpiece made of gold or a gold alloy is annealed is to create a crystalline structure plane on the surface of the decorative item. If the textured surface of the processed product remains unchanged, no matter how much electrolytic polishing is performed, a crystalline structure pattern cannot be obtained, and only a matte surface or a mirror-like glossy surface can be obtained. By annealing at an appropriate temperature and time, crystals can precipitate along the grain boundaries to create a crystal structure plane of a desired size. The atmosphere at this time may be in a vacuum or in the air,
It may also be oxidizing, cyclic, or neutral. In the present invention, the reason why electrolytic polishing is performed in a bath consisting of chloride, phosphoric acid, and water is to make the crystal structure surface stand out in a crystal structure pattern while maintaining surface gloss. A bath consisting only of sulfuric acid and water will not electrolytically etch gold or gold alloys to a shiny surface. For this purpose, thiourea is used. The electrolysis method in the present invention includes alternating current voltage, direct current voltage, combination of alternating current and direct current, pulsed voltage, and the like.

In the bath of the present invention, the range of thiourea is from 5 to
The reason why it is limited to 200g/ is because if it is less than 5g/, the amount of thiourea that dissolves gold or gold alloy will be too small and the bath life will be shortened, whereas if it is more than 200g/, the amount of thiourea will be too large and the dissolving power will be too strong. This is because the surface of gold or gold alloy loses its luster. In addition, the range of sulfuric acid was limited to 1 to 100 ml/ml, because if it is less than 1 ml/ml, the ability to stabilize the bath is weak and the surface of gold or gold alloy loses its luster.
If it exceeds 100 ml, the action of sulfuric acid becomes too strong and unevenness tends to occur, making it impractical. Especially 200ml/
If this is the case, it will lose its luster and cannot be used as a decorative item.
