JOSHUA W. MAYER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

JEVJEL SETTING.

Application filed February 18, 1922.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSHUA V MAYER, a resident of New York city, county and State of New York, and a citizen of the United States of America, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Jewel Settings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in settings for jewels, one of the objects being to provide a firm setting to retain jewels. My improvement is applicable to rings, bracelets or any article of adornment haviu or carrying jewels. One of the mam deficiencies of the present day settings is that they often break down during the operation of placing the jewels therein. My im proved setting is designed to withstand treatment incidental to the setting operations. In other words, an operator need not exercise as much care to set jewels in my improved setting as is required when setting jewels in settings now commonly used.

ll will now proceed to describe my invention in detail, the novel features of which I will point out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part hereof, wherein Fig. 1 is a sectional view, illustrating my improvement as applied to a ring;

' Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the top-plate of the setting;

F 3 is a bottom plan view thereof; and

Fig. 4; is a top plan view illustrating (in this instance) the prongs carried by a ring to engage and support the top plate.

'i y improved setting is comprised of a top plate 5 having an opening 6 to receive a jewel. The under side of the plate 5 is provided with a plurality of recesses or Serial No. 537,395.

grooves 7 to receive prongs 8 with which the ring in this instance is provided, a portion of a ring being indicated by 9. Any element, such as a ring, bracelet, or the like, will be provided with an opening, such as indicated by 10, into which the said prongs extend. In this instance, the prongs are radially disposed. The top plate 5 which holds the jewel will be placed upon the prongs 8, and will be supported thereby and prevented from being forced through the opening 10. The prongs and top-plate will be soldered or otherwise secured together. The prongs also hold the plate against rotation. tened to the prongs or projections 8, it will be firmly held in position and cannot be easily removied. Any pressure imposed upon the top-plate, while setting a jewel, will be withstood by the prongs or projections 8, which are preferably made integral with the support for the top plate.

What I desire to secure by Letters Patent 1s:

1. A support for a jewel having an opening, projections extending radially into said opening, and a top plate to hold a jewel having radially disposed recesses in the bottom thereof, to receive said projections, said projections being soldered to said plate.

2. A. support for a jewel, the support comprising an open frame having projections extending inwardly therefrom, and a top plate to hold a jewel, the top plate having grooves in its bottom extending inwardly from the periphery of the plate and engaging said projections, the latter being integral with the frame.
