GEM-SETTING.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EUGENE Cosrn, a citizen of the Republic of France, and resident of Paris, France, have invented new and useful Improvements in Gem Settings, which improvements are fully set forth in the following specification.

A method of setting or fixing brilliants, stones pearls and paste is known, in which, when there is a special bezel, the stone or other article to be fixed is introduced through the bottom of the bezel which is provided at that point with'claws which are afterward folded down, a metal cone being first interposed between the stone and the claws. That process enables brilliants, stones, pearls and paste to be fixed on any surfaces, but more particularly on fabrics, bands, or lace in order to form ornaments or fashionable decorations. In these various applications the presence of outer claws is a drawback as they are liable to catch in, and spoil the fabrics or other material.

The device forming the subject of this in vention obviates the drawback in question. This device is shown by way of example in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is an elevation of the bezel, Fig. 2 a plan, Fig. 3 a vertical section on line AA of Fig. 2, Fig. t an elevation of a paste stone to be fixed, Fig. 5 an elevation of the backing, Fig. 6 a vertical section of the backing and Fig. 7 a vertical section showing the device securing the paste to a fabric, ribbon, lace or any other suitable material.

The annular metal bezel (Figs. 13) is formed by any suitable process, so as to have an inturned or upper conical edge 6 and depending claws o to the number of four, or more or less. The stone, Fig. 4, is introduced into the said bezel from below. When the stone is in place and resting against the upper edge 6 of the bezel, the backing part shown in Figs. 5 and 6, is applied against the back 0 of the stone. This part is obtained by cutting, or stamping out any suitable metal so as to form an inverted cone or cup-shaped part (Z which fits exactly the Specification of Letters Patent.

inwardly toward said cone, so as to form the bottom portion of the setting and surround the cone and the claws a. The result ob tained is a smooth surface which does not present any danger of catching or hooking on to fabrics. The setting operation, that is to say, the folding down of the claws of the bezel, can be efiected simultaneously with the stamping over of the disk 6.

Claims:

1. A setting comprising, in combination, an annular bezel provided with an in-turned upper edge adapted to engage the upper part of the stone to be set, and with depending claws; anda backing consisting of a cup-shaped part adapted to receive the back of the stone, and against which said claws are adapted to be bent, and a substantially disk-shaped cover part adapted to be pressed inwardly against the first-named part and against said claws.

2. A setting comprising, in combination, an annular bezel having its upper portion provided with an inturned project-ion adapted to engage the upper part of the stone to be set, and having its lower part provided with depending claws; and a backing consisting of a cup-shaped part adapted to receive the back of the stone, and against which said claws are adapted to be bent, and a substantially disk-shaped cover part formed integral with the first-named part and adapted to be bent inwardly against that part and the said claws,

3. A setting comprising, in combination, an annular bezel provided with an in-turned upper edge adapted to engage the upper part of the stone to be set, and with depending claws; and a backing consisting of an inverted conical part adapted to receive the back of the stone, and against which said claws are adapted to be bent, and a covering disk connected to the apex of said conical part and adapted to be bent inwardly against that part and the said claws.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
