Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 24, 1919.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HARRY GILsnY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Jewel, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Among the principal objects which the present invention has in view are: to arrange a number of relatively small jewels to produce the impression of a single unit jewel; to simulate a jewel of the character mentioned without separate or distinct mountings for the jewel; to provide a jewel which may be attached to a ring with full exposure of the sides of the jewel; and to provide a jewel adaptedfor use in a plurality of services.

Drawings.

Figure 1 is a top view of a crown plate employed in the manufacture of the jewel shown;

Fig. 2 is a side view of the supporting crown for said crown plate;

Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the jewel,

the section being taken as on the line 3-3 in Fig. 4L;

Fig. 4 is a side view of a finger ring having a jewel constructed and arranged in accordance with the present invention mounted thereon.

Description.

As seen in the drawings, a crown plate 9 is preferably formed of platinum, and is provided with a series of recesses '10 disposed in clustered arrangement. The re oesses 10 each have inclined side edges 11, which form seats for small diamonds 12. Preferably the diamonds 12 are held in the recesses 10 by studs 13. The studs 13, as shown best in Fig. 3' of the drawings, extend over the edges of the diamonds 12 and hold the same in position.

The crown plate 9 is supported by the cone body 14:. The bodv 1 1 has a series of recesses 15, opening from the sides of the said body in which are secured similar diamonds or other jewels 16.

To increase the facet-like appearance of the sides of the cone body 14, a series of ridges 17 are provided. The tops of the studs 13 and the tops of the ridges 17 are Copies of this patent may be obtained for burnished to form highly polished surfaces from which the light is reflected, simulating thereby somewhat of the scintillations of the diamonds.

As seen in the drawings, the jewel comprising the plate 9, body 14:, and diamonds mounted therein, is provided with a screw. As shown best in Fig. 4: of the drawings, the screw 18 is disposed in service in a tapped perforation formed in the ring 19. No other means, such as a claw setting and similar device for securing the jewel to the ring is employed. The result is that the jewel stands above the ring in clear view.

It is evident that if desired, a jewel thus constructed may be removed from its mounting in the ring 19 and be placed in service with a scarf pm, earring, or other form of personal ornament or ewelry.

Claims.
