Application filed November 4, 1880. Term of patent 3-g years.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES E. MAsoN, of Attleborough, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Design for ()rnament upon the Faces of Lockets and other Articles of Jewelry; and I do hereby declare that the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, forming a part of the same, is full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My design relates to the composition and arrangement of ornament upon the faces of lockets and other articles of jewelry; and it consists of the following features:

The central surface of the face of the article is inclosed by a raised band, A, and bordering the interior of said band are a series of semirings ar anged tangent to the band and to each other, and at thejunctions of said semi-rin s are located spheres or hemispheres in groups of three. Bordering the exterior of the band A are a second series of semi-rings, each inclosing a sphere o'r hemisphere. From the junctions of the semi-rings composing thelatter series straight bars project outward, and each bar has at its outer end a group of four spheres or hemispheres. Closely adjacent to the periphery of the article, and located between the latter group of spheres, are placed other spheres or hemispheres in groups of ted or changed in character.

three. The ornament described, exterior to the band A, composes a border, 13.

The whole may be surrounded, if desired, by a bead border, as shown; but such border forms no part of the design, and may be omit- Although, as represented in the drawing, the ornament is arranged upon a surface having the outline of an ellipse, yet said surface may have a rectangular or circular contour and the ornament be arranged concentric therewith without changing the character and arrangement of the parts of the design, the essential features of which are a raised band, A, inclosing the central surface of the article and internally bordered by semi-rings and spheres or hemis 'iheres, in groups of three, and an external border, B, composed of semirings and spheres or hemispheres, singly or in groups.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

The design for ornament upon the faces of lockets and other articles ofjewelry, substantially as set forth.

CHARLES E. MASON.
