Definitions

  • the invention concerns a finger ring having a mounting provided with at least one mounted piece or stone.
  • the mounted piece is slidably engaged in a housing of the mounting and located in service position, against an abutment of the housing, by the fringes when the ring is worn.
  • the owner may take the stone out of the housing to replace it by another stone.
  • the present invention has for its object a finger ring constituted by a mounting carrying one or several mounted pieces for example precious stones or semiprecious stones having been cut or any other decorative element.
  • This piece of jewelry distinguishes itself by the fact that the said piece is slidably mounted in a housing of the mounting, the mounting presenting at one end, through which the piece can be seen, retaining means of the mounted piece hindering it to move out of the housing through this end, and by the fact that the other end of the mounting shows an aperture enabling to withdraw the mounted piece out of the housing.
  • the attached drawing shows schematically and .by way of example one embodiment of the piece of jewelry according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a ring the mounted piece of which is a sphere which is seen partially in cross section.
  • the ring shown comprises a mounting 1 and a mounted piece 2 constituted by a sphere which can be a precious or semiprecious stone or a pearl of culture, a glass ball, a wooden or metal ball or even a ball of synthetic material etc., provided the aesthetical effect wanted be reached for example by the play of the color or colors of this mounted piece 2.
  • This ring presents a housing 3 opening on the apparent upper face of the ring whereas the other end of this housing 3 is accessible through a rear aperture 4 of the mounting.
  • the housing 3 comprises a diameter corresponding to the one of the sphere constituting the mounted piece 2 so that this piece be able to be introduced in this housing through the aperture 4, and slides without game in said housing.
  • the frontal fore-end of the housing 3 presents retaining means 5 constituted by a narrowing of the housing and forming thus an abutment hindering the sphere 2 to come out of the housing 3 through its foreface.
  • the flange or narrowing 5 of the housing presents a shape such as the peripheral internal surface matches the shape of a part of the peripheral outside surface of the mounted piece 2.
  • the retaining means are constituted by an internal surface of the housing presenting a shape of a part of a sphere.
  • the dimension of the mounting is determined in such a manner that when the mounted piece 2 is in service position in the housing 3 and applied against the retaining means 5, the distance a separating the lower part of the sphere of the internal surface of the rear part of the mounting corresponds approximatively to the diameter of a finger.
  • the finger locks the mounted piece in service position within the mounting.
  • the mounted piece 2 may be easily taken out of the mounting through the aperture 4 which also gives passage to the finger of the user.
  • the mounted piece 2 may be easily taken out of the mounting through the aperture 4 which also gives passage to the finger of the user.
  • the mounted piece may show different shapes such as a sphere portion, a pyramid or a truncated cone, a cone, a cube, a prism or a parallelepiped body. It goes without saying that for each case the housing of the mounting and the retaining means may be formed in taking account for the shape of the mounted piece in order to obtain the desired effect.
  • a mounting may present several housings provided with their retaining means intended to receive each a mounted piece which could be either all the same or different the one from the others as well in shape as in color or as to their material.
  • the mounting may also be provided with apertures so that the mounted piece can be seen not only through the fore-end of the housing but also laterally.
  • a finger ring comprising a mounting and at least one readily removable piece carried by said mounting for display thereby, said mounting at one end having retaining means for contacting said piece and for preventing said piece from leaving said mounting through said one end, said retaining means displaying a substantial area of said piece, said mounting including a portion that encircles the finger of the wearer, said portion having a diameter that approximates the diameter of the finger of the wearer, the rear of said piece being spaced from said encircling portion a distance about equal to said diameter whereby when the finger of the wearer is inserted in said mounting, the finger of the wearer will retain said piece in contact with said retaining means.
  • a finger ring as claimed in claim 2 said retaining means comprising an inwardly extending circular rim whose inner diameter is less than the diameter of said spheroidal piece.
  • a finger ring as claimed in claim 2 said diameter being about equal to the diameter of said spheroidal piece.
