In a variant of the invention with a pearl as a jewelry body can the lifting be inserted in a wedge shape in the direction of the pearl axis by two cross sections, the angle of the elevation is from 10 ° to 179 °.

Pearls made of shells have long been a popular and sought-after jewelry object and since the beginning of pearl breeding about 100 years ago, an independent pearl market has developed, which plays a significant role in the jewelry industry. Among the pearls, those which have always been preferred, and consequently the highest, have an ideal or nearly ideal spherical shape and a uniformly shaped spherical surface. In pearl cultivation and also in nature, however, it often happens that a pearl has a so-called "open spot". This means that the nucleus which the breeder had inserted into the shell or which naturally got into it was not uniformly covered with mother-of-pearl by the shell, but at one or more points it did not grow at all or only a relatively thin one Layer Perlmutter deposited so that there more or less deep pits of different shape and surface area have emerged. These "imperfections" in pearls are commonly considered to be flaws and significantly reduce the quality and thus the market value of the pearls concerned. Although it is well known that one can provide a bead with a through hole or a blind hole to draw on a thread and so as to produce chains or bracelets, or to put them on a pin and so on, for example, rings, lapel pins and others To attach jewelry basic bodies. Less than 2% of the pearls of the entire pearl farm are really flawless. For lamination of "imperfections" these holes are in many, if not most cases, not suitable, if only because the relevant "imperfect point" has too large a diameter, and / or because the pearl in question more "Imperfect spots", which is very common, are not (coincidentally) in line with the center of the pearl.The use of pearls is varied and includes the combination of pearl (s) with gemstone (s) it is usually additions, ie a juxtaposition of pearl (s) and gemstone (s), where pearl (s) and gem (s) each separate, independent components of a brooch, a chain, a bracelet, ring or a To date, only two types of integrated combination of pearl and gemstone are known.

The article according to the invention as described above is particularly preferred if the decorative part consists of different materials with and without a mount, such as metals, Plastics, synthetic stones, rough stones, cut gemstones, cut semiprecious stones, wood, glass and / or the optical ornamental element consists of semi-precious stone or gemstone with a Mohs hardness of at least 5.5. The article according to the invention as described above is also particularly preferred if the optical ornamental element consists of plastic such as polycarbonate and / or wherein the article is a decorative element. Preferably, the fiction, contemporary subject matter as previously shown, if the object of pearl, metal, wood, glass, stone, synthetic stone, artificial stone, gemstone or plastic can be made and / or the object is a natural, artificial or cultured pearl. Furthermore, as described above, the article according to the invention is particularly preferred if the article contains at least 1, 2, 3 or more than 100 decorative parts and / or the lifting of the article contains at least one socket which is closed by a transparent optical ornamental element the outer shape of the object almost picks up and the socket facing inside can be flat, convex, concave, engraved or textured. The article according to the invention as previously shown is also particularly preferred if the excavation does not contain a socket.

In one embodiment, the hardness of the decorative optical element is at least equal to the hardness of the decorative part and has a Mohs hardness ≤ 10. In a likewise preferred embodiment, the hardness of the decorative optical element is at least equal to the hardness of the decorative part and has a Mohs hardness ≤ 10 or the hardness of the optical jewelry element is no more than a degree of hardness of that of the decorative part.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the decorative part is a diamond with Mohs hardness 10 and the optical jewelry element is a white sapphire with Mohs hardness 9. In a further preferred embodiment, the decorative part is a corundum with the hardness 9 and the optical jewelry element with a particular Scratch-resistant coating provided polycarbonate.

For this purpose, an article of the invention, which is in particular a decorative element of the above-mentioned type, characterized in that a decorative optical element (2) generates various effects, which are described below:

The optical element consists of transparent or partially transparent (at least 60% light transmittance), refractive material, and is in its outer geometry (3) adapted to the jewelry base body 1. In another embodiment, the decorative optical element is made of a material that is more than 40% translucent, preferably more than 50% translucent, more preferably has a translucency greater than 60%. The optical ornamental element may correspond in its volume up to about 80% of the volume of the excavation, preferably up to about 50%, more preferably up to about 30%. The decorative optical element can be provided in its side facing the body, the inner contour, with special cuts, such as faceting and notches, through which the light is often refracted and reflected from the cavity to the outside.

A particularly surprising effect is that the design of the cavity underneath the optical jewelery element, to the inside of the article, is visible from outside through the special design of the inner contour of the optical jewelery element with facets or kaleidoscope-like. In another embodiment, a particularly preferred effect is that the design of the cavity beneath the optical jewelery element, to the inside of the article, is visible kaleidoscopically from the outside by the special design of the inner contour of the optical jewelery element with facets, indentations or reflective materials.

It is also surprising that this kaleidoscopic effect is further multiplied if the inner curvature of the optical ornamental element is concavely curved. Due to the concave curvature of the inner contour of the optical ornamental element and its faceting or notch, are visible from outside in the cavity diverse, ornamental, by moving constantly changing pattern whose emergence on a relatively simple design of the cavity by engraving, enamelling or adding one or more Cavity elements based. A concave curvature of the inner contour of the optical jewelery element, or a parallel curvature of the outer and inner contour of the optical jewelery element, adapted to the outer geometry of the object, creates a larger cavity in the interior and thus more design options and more space for receiving cavity elements. A further preferred embodiment of the design of the inner contour of the decorative optical element is a convex curvature of this inner side. It is surprising that when the side of the optical jewelery element facing the body is ground convexly, a magnifying effect arises which increases both the design of the cavity, such as engraving or enamelling of the socket, and recorded cavity elements, and thus makes it clearly visible. Farther the article according to the invention is particularly preferred when the decorative optical element is ground in the form of a convex lens, so that a magnifying effect arises, which enlarges both the design of the cavity, such as engraving or enamelling of the socket, as well as recorded Hohlelemente-, and thus more visible power.

In another embodiment, the decorative optical element is in the form of a lens. In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the optical ornamental element has a biconvex shape, thus creating a "magnifying glass effect", through which the cavity or introduced into the excavation socket (6) and possibly introduced cavity elements (5) or possibly in the socket engraved ornaments are even more enlarged.

The inner (4) and the outer contour (3) of the decorative optical element (2) are independent of each other. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, they are almost parallel, that is, the inner curvature of the outer curvature is almost parallel adapted, in this way creates a particularly large cavity in the interior, thereby the design of the cavity can be particularly diverse. The optical ornamental element may be given its shape including the ornamental configuration (9) or (11) of the inner contour by ultrasonic methods, by laser technique, in traditional grinding and engraving methods or by cast molding and subsequent grinding or polishing.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the excavation is lined with a socket (6) made of plastic, metal or precious metal and used in this optical jewelry element. The socket itself can be anchored in the article or glued to the article. The decorative optical element can be glued or edged in the socket or in the main body. With the help of surface treatment, Verspiegelimg, engraving, painting, enameling or structuring of the socket or by elements, synthetic or genuine gems, which are incorporated into the socket below the optical jewelry element, showed surprisingly particularly interesting visual stimuli, because the designed walls of the socket are not only visible through the optical ornamental element, they are reflected therein, depending on the design of the optical body and the socket.

It was altogether very surprising that the construction of the elevation with the ground optical ornamental element as a closure a particularly attractive, partial kaleidoscopic reflection and partially magnifying effects could be observed.

In another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the optical ornamental element (2) can be provided on the inside (4) and / or on the outside (3) with an anti-scratch coating, anti-reflection coating or with nanomaterial. A particularly optically stable and particularly hard nano-coating is the diamond coating, DLC, diamond-like carbon, based on carbon.

The Mohs hardness of the optical body of the invention is 2.5 or higher. In a preferred embodiment, the Mohs hardness of the optical body according to the invention is 2.5 or higher, preferably> 3, more preferably> 4. The inner contour of the decorative optical element is either flat, convex (see Fig. 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 ref. 4) or concave (see Fig. 2, 6, 8 Ref. 4} and in an advantageous Embodiment of the decorative optical element engraved (see Fig. 9, Ref. 4) or structured in another advantageous embodiment (see Fig. 10, Ref. 4).

The cavity can assume any geometric shapes and fantasy shapes. Particularly advantageous embodiments of the cavity are wedge shape, cuboid shape, conical or truncated cone shape, pyramid or truncated pyramid shape (cf., Fig. 6), cylindrical shape in the geometric sense (see Fig. 5) or hemispherical shape, which increase the attractiveness of the overall appearance.

In a variant of the invention, the elevation in the article according to the invention can be produced by casting technique (during casting of the article), by traditional grinding techniques, by laser cutting or by ultrasonic erosion.

In a further variant, the cavity elements can either be firmly anchored in the socket or be freely movable. The movement of the cavity elements in the excavation is purely coincidental.

In another embodiment of the invention, in the excavation, and / or in the socket for lifting, a support surface for the optical ornamental element is formed, which is configured to receive an adhesive. In a further embodiment of the invention, a notch is formed in the excavation and / or in the socket for lifting, which is configured to receive an adhesive. In a further embodiment, the cross section of a decorative part is smaller than a minimum cross section of the excavation. In a further particular embodiment, in which the decorative part in the excavation is free to move in all room dimensions, the largest cross section of the decorative part is smaller than the minimum cross section of the excavation. In another embodiment of the invention, the maximum body height or the maximum body diameter of the decorative part is smaller than the ceiling height of the excavation. The maximum room height describes the maximum extent of the excavation. In a spherical jewelery basic body, for example a pearl, into which a wedge-shaped elevation is inserted, the space height denotes the distance between the wedge tip or wedge-pointed line and the inside of the optical jewelery element as a cover surface. Alternatively, the maximum extent between the base surface and the inside of the optical ornament element is defined as a cover surface in a cube-shaped or cuboid elevation with the maximum ceiling height. The maximum body height is the maximum distance between two points on the surface of the decorative part.

In a further preferred variant of the invention, the cavity elements in the excavation can take any geometric and / or figurative forms, such as spherical, polyhedral, letter shape, diamond shape, heart shape, cloverleaf, after one of the known gemstone cuts, such as brilliant cut, Spiritsun-cut, Contexcut, after a fantasy or the form of animals, which increase the attractiveness of the overall appearance.

In a further preferred variant of the invention, the cavity elements in the excavation or between the socket (6) and optical jewelry element (2) consist of different materials with and without socket, such as metal, wood, glass, paper, plastic, stone, beads, cut gemstones, cut semiprecious stones.

In a further preferred variant of the invention, the transparent part of the outer wall consists of (semi) gemstone having a Mohs hardness of at least 5.5.

In another preferred variant of the invention, the optical decorative element consists of a metal or precious metal grid. In a further preferred variant of the invention, the optical ornamental element consists of plastic such as polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is extremely high refractive light. It has a high refractive index with n = 1, 58 compared to the vacuum with n = 1, so that the transmitted light is strongly refracted. It has an absolute formability and can be produced in the same quality in the mass. Refractive or diffractive structures can be easily imprinted into the plastic surface, thereby increasing the radius of curvature of the lens, meaning that the lens takes up less space away from the cavity, thus making the cavity more variant-rich. Another advantage of a plastic optical body is that it can be manufactured by injection molding. In the case of polycarbonate, the melting point is 290-310 ° C. Within this procedure, the frame can be integrated in the same operation. The optical plastic jewelry element can be hard coated with a silicate and is therefore scratch-resistant.

In a further preferred variant of the invention, the article may be a decorative ornamental element, more preferably a natural or cultured pearl or an artificial pearl.

In a further preferred variant of the invention, the receptacle in said object may contain any number of decorative parts, 1, 2, 3 or 4 but also over 100 parts. In a further preferred variant, the decorative element may include a metal grid. The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments illustrated schematically and by way of example in the drawings.

In one embodiment of the invention, the shape and / or dimensions of the decorative part are adapted to the dimension of the excavation such that the decorative part is only rotatable about one or two body axes. In a preferred variant, a wedge-shaped elevation is inserted in a pearl as a jewelery basic body, filled with at least one ground gemstone or semi-precious stone as a decorative part and sealed with a lens as an optical decorative element. The shape and / or dimensions of one or more decorative parts are / are adapted to the dimension of the excavation such that the decorative part (s) are / are rotatable about only one or two body axes. As a result, the decorative part (s) in the excavation can always be oriented so that the brilliant / refractive surface (s) is / are clearly visible from the outside.

The article according to the invention is preferred if a polished gemstone is arranged in the excavation in such a way that a ground surface of the gemstone is attached to the gemstone optical jewelry element is oriented. The ground surface of the gemstone is thus visible through the optical jewelry element.

In a particularly preferred variant, the decorative part is a diamond of 1.00 kt (carat) with a diameter of 6.5 mm and a height of 4 mm. The elevation of the object is wedge-shaped and adapted in its diameter and height to the decorative part so that it can move back and forth and up and down, but can not rotate around its own axis and thus always with the broad top , its refractive upper surface, lies towards the optical ornament element and is clearly visible. The wedge shape of the elevation serves as a counter-shape to the diametrically ground brilliants in its underside, which prevents a movement of the brilliant around its own axis, when the height of the elevation from the surface of the brilliant to the inside of the decorative optical element is smaller than the height of the brilliant ,

In one embodiment, the lift is at least partially filled with a liquid. In another embodiment, the lift is preferably completely filled with a liquid. In a further embodiment, the elevation is closed with a transparent optical ornamental element and the elevation is at least partially filled with a liquid and / or at least one decorative part, so that a decorative part is floating in the liquid visible from the outside and by the different refractive indices of liquid and jewelry element cause visual effects. The chosen liquid must not reduce the stability of the object and is a member of the following group: Alcohols, oils, glycerines (liquids with a viscosity of <1500 mPa s and a light transmittance of at least 50%).
