- In one aspect, the method further comprises providing and mounting filler elements between the stones to cover gaps between the stones when viewed from the point.
- In one aspect, the plurality of first small stones is located lower than the plurality of second stones relative to the large stone. In one aspect, the step of arranging the plurality of first small stones comprises equally spacing the plurality of first small stones along the first perimeter. In one aspect, the step of arranging the plurality of second small stones comprises equally spacing the plurality of second small stones along the second perimeter. In one aspect, the first and second concentric perimeters have substantially equal radii.
- In one aspect, the method further comprises providing the holder, the holder comprising a plurality of approximately circular cups connected to each other, a first set of the plurality of cups having a first height and a second set of the plurality of cups having a second height different from the first height, the first and second sets staggered so that each adjacent cups has a different height. In one aspect, the stones comprise diamonds. In one aspect, the first and second small stones have approximately equal sizes.
- These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings, description and claims.
-
FIG. 1 : is a perspective view of an embodiment of the invention. -
FIG. 2 : is a top view of an embodiment of the invention. -

FIG. 5 : shows views of embodiments of the present invention. - The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention.
- Referring now to the figures, the following reference numbers may refer to elements of the invention:
- 10: is the center diamond.
- 12: is the 1st level diamond.
- 14: is the 2nd level diamond.
- 16: is the holder.
- 18: is the filler, which may be made of gold and may be part of closing the gap and securing and pressing down three or more diamonds.
- 20: is the outside prong.
- The present invention solves the problem of spending more to have bigger diamonds and helps one spend less to have the same appearance as a larger center diamond.
- The present invention helps a customer that would like to have a bigger size diamond without paying the larger price and yet have the same appearance as a larger diamond.
- Usually, a 1 carat single diamond is 6.5 mm in diameter. With the present invention, 0.35 carats worth of diamonds are displayed 6.5 mm in diameter and therefore look like a 1 carat diamond.
- The present invention is better because from a top view of the diamonds one won't see a space between the diamonds; one will see it as one stone sparkling.
- 1. Center basket with groove under the prong
- 2. 2nd row basket for diamonds
- 3. 3rd row basket for diamonds inserted under the 2nd row basket
- The present invention will compete what is out there with a diamond solitaire ring of 1.00 carat set center stone (or any large mineral or stone). With the present method using 0.30 carat of stones will look like a 1.00 carat center when viewed from above, allowing the purchaser to pay 70 percent less for the same look and same quality.
- Referring now to the drawings, a method of mounting stones for an improved appearance comprises:
-
- Providing a
large stone 10 having acircumferential edge 26. The stone may be any stone or mineral, such as a precious stone, such as a diamond. It may have a carat size of between approximately 0.1 and 1.0 carats, preferably between 0.2 and 0.5 carats. - Providing a plurality of first
small stones 12 having firstcircumferential edges 24. The stones may be any stone or mineral, such as a precious stone, such as a diamond. They are preferably smaller thanlarge stone 10 and may or may not be approximately the same size. - Providing a plurality of second
small stones 14 having secondcircumferential edges 22. The stones may be any stone or mineral, such as a precious stone, such as a diamond.
