Description

METHOD OF MANUFACTURING JEWELRY [0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a jewelry, and more particularly, to a technique for forming a jewelry connection element fixing groove by cutting a predetermined position of a bracket of a jewelry and fixing the jewelry connection element to the fixing groove at a predetermined position.

Generally, jewelry (jewelry) such as bracelets, earrings or necklaces are mainly made of precious metal or jewelry such as gold or silver. For example, jewelry ornaments such as necklaces may include a plurality of unitary brackets for supporting a jewel or an accessory (including artificial jewelry) that has been processed in the form of small granules, such as diamonds or rubies, ring to be chain-connected to each other to form a chain.

In this way, chain-shaped jewelry ornaments such as necklaces are formed and sold in various shapes and structures on the basis of the unit brackets for setting the jewelery and the connecting elements thereof, and the connection structure thereof is also made up of chain type jewelry ornaments Is widely known.

These unit brackets and their connecting elements are made by melting metals such as brass, stainless steel, silver, gold or titanium and then solidifying them into a mold to form an integral body, And then welded to form an integral body.

However, since the unit bracket and the connecting element are formed as castings, there is a problem that the surface is rough due to bubbles or the like. Therefore, there is a problem that the surface is not smooth, so that high quality jewelry can not be manufactured. In order to remove this, a separate post-process is required to smooth the surface of the unit bracket and its connecting elements. This causes a problem that the manufacturing cost of the jewelry increases.

On the other hand, the method of manufacturing the unit brackets and the connecting elements integrally manufactured through welding is performed by a technique in which the artisan welds the connecting elements to the unit brackets.

However, when a plurality of connecting elements are welded to a plurality of unit brackets to produce a chain type, there is a problem that the welding position is not constant because a skilled artisan is required to individually weld the connecting elements to the unit bracket. This causes problems that elaborate jewelry can not be produced.

A prior art document related to the present invention is the Korean Utility Model No. 20-2012-0008345 (published on December 05, 2012).

A method of manufacturing a jewelry is proposed in which a unit bracket and its connecting elements are not manufactured as castings, and unit brackets and connection elements, which do not require post-processing to smooth the surface, are manufactured and fixed.

In addition, a method of manufacturing a jewelry in which a unitary bracket and its connecting elements are fixedly fixed positions to produce elaborate jewelry is proposed.

The solution of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned solutions, and other solutions not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a jewelry, comprising: forming a bracket for fixing a noble metal or a jewel by cutting a metal material for bracket fabrication, the bracket being formed at a predetermined position; Applying a welding liquid to the connecting element fixing groove; Fitting the connecting element into the connecting element fixing groove to which the welding liquid is applied; And fixing the connecting element to the connecting element fixing groove by hot air drying after the connecting element is inserted into the connecting element fixing groove.

The welding liquid may be the same as or different from the material of the bracket.

The manufacturing method may further include a step of press-forming or cutting the metallic material for manufacturing a connecting element to manufacture the connecting element.

According to the method of manufacturing a jewelry according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the bracket and the connecting element are manufactured through cutting or the like, the casting unit bracket and the connecting element are not manufactured, The manufacturing cost can be reduced.

Further, even if a plurality of brackets are connected by a plurality of connecting elements by fixing the connecting element after the connecting element fixing groove is formed at a predetermined position of the bracket, the fixing position is constant, so that elaborate jewelry can be manufactured.

Jewelry manufactured by the method of manufacturing a jewelry according to an embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that a connecting element, for example, a ring is fixed to a bracket for supporting a noble metal such as gold, silver, Lt; / RTI > Furthermore, the jewelry manufactured by the method of manufacturing a jewelry according to the embodiment of the present invention may be manufactured such that a plurality of brackets on which noble metals or jewelery are seated and fixed are sequentially connected to each other by a plurality of connecting elements to form a chain have. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method of manufacturing a jewelry according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view illustrating a result of performing steps of a method of manufacturing a jewelry according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, first, a bracket for fixing a noble metal or a gem is formed by cutting a metal material for bracket fabrication (S10).

That is, a metal material for bracket fabrication is cut using a cutting machine to form a bracket for fixing a noble metal or gem. The bracket thus formed is illustrated in Fig. 2 (a).

Referring to FIG. 2 (a), a bracket 100, which has been cut using a cutting machine, is provided with a connecting element fixing groove 102 at a predetermined position.

That is, a metallic material for manufacturing a bracket is cut by using a cutting machine to form a bracket, and at the same time, a connecting element fixing groove is formed at a predetermined position of the bracket.

At this time, the shape of the connection element fixing groove 102 may be formed differently depending on the shape of the connection element. On the other hand, the metal material for bracket fabrication may be gold, silver, stainless steel, brass or titanium.

 Then, the welding liquid is applied to the connection element fixing groove of the bracket formed through the cutting process (S20).

That is, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the welding liquid 104 is applied to the connecting element fixing groove 102 of the bracket 100 formed by cutting.

At this time, the welding liquid applied to the connecting element fixing groove can be manufactured by melting the same material as the material (material) of the bracket, the connecting element or the bracket and the connecting element, or by melting the bracket, the connecting element or the bracket, have.

For example, when the material of the bracket is silver, the welding liquid applied to the connecting element fixing grooves may be manufactured by melting silver (the same material) or stainless steel (another material).

After the welding liquid is applied to the connecting element fixing groove of the bracket, the connecting element is inserted into the connecting element fixing groove to which the welding liquid is applied (S30).

That is, as illustrated in FIG. 2 (c), the connecting element 106 is pressed into the connecting element fixing groove 102 to which the welding liquid 104 is applied.

At this time, the connecting element 106 can be manufactured by press working or cutting machining before, after, or simultaneously with the manufacture of the bracket 100.

The connecting element 106 may be made of the same material or material as the bracket.

For example, if the material of the bracket is gold (Au), the material of the connecting element may be gold or silver.

After the connecting element 106 is inserted into the connecting element fixing groove 102 to which the welding liquid 104 is applied, the bracket having the connecting element inserted through the hot air drying apparatus is hot-air dried to fix the connecting element to the connecting element fixing groove (S40).

At this time, when the welding liquid 104 is manufactured by melting silver, hot air drying can be performed at 650 ° C for 1 minute. The temperature and time of such hot air drying are merely one example, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

Through the hot-air drying, the connecting element 106 is fixed to the connecting element fixing groove 102 as the solidified welding agent 104-1 in which the welding liquid 104 is hardened as shown in FIG. 2 (d).

After that, jewelry can be completed by attaching precious metal or jewelry to the bracket.

On the other hand, it is possible to attach precious metal or jewelry to the bracket immediately after the bracket is manufactured. However, deformation may occur on the noble metal, the gem, or the like in the process of inserting the connecting element into the connecting element fixing groove of the bracket or in the hot air drying process. Accordingly, it is preferable that the attachment of the noble metal or the jewelry to the bracket is performed after the connection element is fixed to the bracket.

As described above, according to the method of manufacturing a jewelry according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the bracket and the connecting element are manufactured by a cutting process method without manufacturing the bracket and the connecting element, the bracket and the connecting element Since the surface is smooth, there is no need for post-processing to smooth the surface, which reduces the cost of manufacturing the jewelry and enables the production of high quality jewelry.

According to the method of manufacturing a jewelry according to the embodiment of the present invention, the connection element fixing groove is formed at a predetermined position of the bracket during the process of manufacturing the bracket through cutting, and the connection element is fixed to the connection element fixing groove, Even if a plurality of brackets are connected in series to a plurality of connecting elements, the fixing position of the connecting elements is constant, so that a sophisticated jewelry can be produced.

This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG.

FIG. 4 is a view illustrating a jewelry manufactured according to a method of manufacturing a jewelry according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a view illustrating a jewelry manufactured according to a conventional method of manufacturing a jewelry.

Referring to FIG. 4, in a process of manufacturing a bracket through cutting, a connecting element fixing groove is formed at a predetermined position of a bracket, and then a connecting element is fixed to a connecting element fixing groove, Even when connected in series, the fixing position of the connecting element is constant, so that elaborate jewelry can be produced.

That is, since the connecting element 106 is fixed by the welding agent 104-1 in the solid state in the connecting element fixing groove 102 formed at a predetermined position of the plurality of brackets 100, The brackets 100 are arranged to produce elaborate jewelry.

5, in the case of a conventional jewelry manufacturing method, a method of manufacturing a jewelry by combining a bracket 200 and a connecting element 206 with a welding metal 204 produced by melting a welding rod through welding, Therefore, no matter how skilled the welder is, the welding position is not constant and can vary slightly. That is, the brackets 200 are slightly deviated from the A reference line and the B reference line, so that there is a problem that elaborate jewelry can not be manufactured.

The present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments should be considered in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.
