NITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES A. eAMwELL, OE PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIe-NOR To AMERICAN ENAMEL COMPANY, OE SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENT lN THE MANUFACTURE OF JEWELRY.
Specification forniing part of Letters Patent No. 150,754, dated May 12, 1874; application filed March 14, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES A. GAMWELL, of Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Manufacture of Jewelry, of which the following is a specification In the accompanying drawing, Figure -l represents a perspective view of an ear-drop manufacturedaccording to my improved process, and Fig. 2 a vertical central section of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts.
The object of my invention is to'produce neat and stylish articles of jewelry, dressbuttons, 8vo., by imitating the gold, silver, glass bea-ds, and other fancy articles hitherto imported in such manner that not only the manufacture of the same is greatly cheapened, but also a ,variety of ornamental and elegant art-icles of various shapes and colors be produced. My invention consists in producing the body of the jewelry of wood, clay, horn, papiermach, or other cheap plastic material, and prepa-ring the outer surface of the same by sizing, and varnishing in bronze, gold, silver, aniline, or other colors, 'or producing by the use of emery, fine sand, or other material, and a second sizing, a frosted gold, silver, or other colored surface and finished appearance of the goods. In the drawing, A represents a ball ear-drop, or any other article of jewelry, to be produced according to my process.4 I use, preferably, wood for producing the body of various' articles of jewelry, especially for Such shapes as maybe turned rapidly, though I do not confine myself to the use of the same exclusively, as the various shapes may be pressed of clay, horn, paste compounds, metals, or other suitable material. VWood, however, recommends itself, together with paste compounds, on account of its lightness and ease of working the same. The surface of the article is either enameled or not, as desired.
A sizing is next put O11 for holding the bronze of various colors, or gold or silver leaf.
For producing a rough frosted surface, elnery-powder is placed evenly over the rst sizing, and the bronze, gold, or silver leaf applied by means of a second sizing placed over the emery.
Varied and neat eects are thus obtained by very simple means, especially as by painting and varnishin the bronzed or other surfaces in aniline and other colors any desired shade may be produced.
A great number of different article of jewelry may be in this manner be manufactured, which, in cheapness, lightness, and finish, may
successfully compete with the fancy goods and jewelryof European markets, and surpass them in durability and ncatness in many cases.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure. by Letters Patenti l. The process of producing buttons, imitation jewelry, and similar articles, and of ornamenting theirvsurfaces in various colors, substantially in the manner as hereinbcfore set forth.`
2. As a new article of manufacture, a but ton, ear-ring, or other article `of jewelry made of wood or other cheap material and provided with a coating or coatings of size, bronze. gold or silver leaf or color, and a covering of emery powder or sand, in imitation of frosting, substantially as described.
3. As an improvement in the manufacture of jewelry, buttons, 85o., articles of jewelry Vproduced with a rough surface of emery-powder in imitation of frosted surfaces, by sizing them and applying a second sizing over the emery for ixin g the bronze, gold or silver leaf, or other color, as set forth.
