Definitions

  • the compression is in g l Fy Q the range 2 to 18 metric tons per square centimeter. ar mg 3,175,893 3/1965 Meretsky 29/470.l X 5 Claims, No Drawings METHOD FOR PRODUCING ORNAMENTAL ARTICLES
  • the present invention relates to the production of ornamental articles such as plaques for use in jewelry such as brooches, pendants, necklaces, rin'gsand the like, in the form of massive solids of any desired size and shape, whose appearance will be randomly arrived at and which will be different from each other piece thus produced.
  • the present invention comprises the assembly of a plurality of metal articles which may be noble metals such as gold, or silverware such as table silver, or old jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets and the like, whose sizes and shapes and metal compositions are different from each other. These are mixed together at random and are subjected to a sufficient compressive pressure to form a monolithic block in which the articles occupy random positions, the block having cavities therein of various sizes and shapes.
  • noble metals such as gold
  • silverware such as table silver
  • old jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets and the like
  • the blocks thus obtained will have crevices in their surfaces of a completely random design which will be disposed between planar areas of different shapes and colors due to the differences in the sizes and shapes and metals of the articles from which the block was formed.
  • Compression can be effected in any known compressive mold, which accordingly need not be shown.
  • the compressed block may have a cylindrical or parallelepipedal or other conventional shape.
  • the compacted block is then sliced as by sawing into a plurality of flat plaques each of which is different from all the others as to coloration and design, due to the random structure of the block from which the plaques were cut.
  • the surface of the block or plaque may be brush-coated with borax and then the blockor plaque heated to 400 to 600 C.
  • borax Different metals will thus take on different colorations due to the heat treatment with borax, it being possible thus to produce blue, purple, green, red, brown and yellow tones.
  • This borax treatment can for example be effected after compression in the range 2 to 10 metric tons per square centimeter. Thereafter, a higher compression, in the range 10 to 18 metric tons per square centimeter,
  • the heat treatment to augment the coloration may be performed after the relatively low pressure compression or after the relatively high pressure compression, before or after the block is cut into plaques.
  • At least one flat face of each plaque is then polished by any known metal polishing technique.
  • any known metal polishing technique Of course, if the mold walls themselves are polished, then it may not be necessary to polish the plaques.
  • the resulting plaques may be used as ornamental objects as produced, or may be worked into pendants, brooches, rings, etc. as jewelry.
  • a method for producing ornamental articles comprising assembling a plurality of finished ornamental articles such as jewelry and silverware of different metals, compacting the assembly of articles into a monolithic block under pressure, and then slicing the block into ornamental articles comprising plaques.
