Definitions

  • the present invention in some embodiments thereof, relates to an invisible setting for diamonds and other precious stones that are faceted, and methods for effecting such settings.
  • the traditional invisible mounting involves fitting a protrusion of the setting, or mounting medium into a groove pre-formed in the stone.
  • the groove is hidden behind the face of the stone, hence the face hiding the mounting, which therefore becomes invisible.
  • the setting or mounting medium may be the metal body of the ring or other jewelry item.
  • a well-known problem with invisible mountings is the ease with which the stone is able to fall out of the mounting.
  • the setting can often change shape over time.
  • the finger on which the ring is mounted may change shape over time, or the metal may expand or contract with changes in temperature, so that what began as a tight fit may get looser over time until the stone falls out.
  • multiple stones are mounted in a row, if the setting bends in a particular direction all of the stones are liable to fall out.
  • a further issue with invisible settings is the time and skilled labor required to set a stone, or replace a stone after it falls out.
  • a tight fit is required by making a secure mounting at a location that cannot be seen, and the stones themselves are generally quite small. Setting a single stone typically takes in excess of twenty minutes in the hands of a skilled setter.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,112,552 teaches an invisible gemstone setting having channels into which the grooved gemstones are snapped and secured. Each channel is provided with opposing flexible prong members extending from the base of the gemstone setting. As the grooved gemstones are snapped into the channels the prong members flex outwardly as the gemstones are pushed downwards into the channels. The prong members snap into engagement with the gemstones to securely hold the gemstones within the channels. When the channels are filled the setting becomes invisible. In this case, the gemstone is more easily mounted but the same problem arises that if the setting changes shape, the initially firm grip on the gemstone is liable to be lost.
  • the present embodiments provide a separate mounting for holding the grooved gemstone, which separate mounting is held within but is not part of the gemstone setting.
  • changes in shape in the setting have no bearing on how firmly the gemstone is held.
  • the jewelry setting no longer needs to include the protrusion for fitting into the gemstone groove, as this is now part of the separate mounting. Instead however the setting may incorporate hollows or openings for holding the mountings.
  • a mounting for holding a grooved gemstone invisibly to a setting, the mounting having a first end with extensions to receive the gemstone, and protrusions extending inwardly from the extensions at a location weakened by a reduction in thickness in relation to predetermined wall thicknesses of the mounting, the protrusions to fit within respective mounting grooves of the grooved gemstone, the mounting further comprising a holding configuration for lockingly holding the mounting to the setting, an angle at which the protrusions extend from the mounting being variable by application of pressure across the weakened location.
  • the extensions and the protrusions form arcs of a circle to receive a rounded gemstone.
  • the extensions and the protrusions are respectively straight and parallel, to receive a rectangular gemstone.
  • the extensions are bifurcated and angled with respect to each other, to receive separate gemstones.
  • a mounting for holding a grooved gemstone invisibly to a setting having a first end with extensions to receive the gemstone and protrusions extending inwardly from the extensions to fit within respective mounting grooves of the grooved gemstone, the mounting further comprising a holding configuration for lockingly holding the mounting to the setting, wherein the holding configuration is configured to protrude at least partially from a first end forming a base part of the setting towards a second end away from the base part for extension through the setting, the holding configuration comprising a split at least partially extending from the second end towards the first end, the split allowing the holding configuration to be deformed by a deformation tool applied to the second end after extension through the setting to carry out the locking, the deformation being effective to press the mounting into the setting and thereby to cause the setting to lever the mounting to push the protrusions into the groove.
  • a mounting for holding a grooved gemstone invisibly to a setting, the mounting having a first end with extensions to receive the gemstone and protrusions extending inwardly from the extensions to fit within respective mounting grooves of the grooved gemstone, the mounting further comprising reinforcement thickenings on inner walls of the mounting and a holding configuration for lockingly holding the mounting to the setting, wherein the holding configuration is configured to protrude at least partially from a first end forming a base part of the setting towards a second end away from the base part for extension through the setting, the holding configuration being deformable by a deformation tool applied to the second end after extension through the setting to carry out the locking, the deformation being effective to press the mounting into the setting and thereby to cause the setting to lever the mounting to push the protrusions into the groove.

Une extrémité de la monture (10) est dotée de bras ou d'extensions (14), renforcés par des étais (26) pour recevoir la pierre précieuse, et de protubérances (16) s'étendant vers l'intérieur à partir des bras (14) pour s'ajuster dans les rainures de la pierre précieuse, la monture (10) comportant en outre un élément de retenue qui est inséré dans le sertissage puis subit une torsion pour maintenir la monture (10) en place et qui peut faire levier sur les bras (14) afin d'appuyer plus fortement dans la rainure. La monture (10) est réglable. L'élément de retenue peut être cylindrique et fendu (28) dans le sens de la longueur pour faciliter la déformation. En variante, le sertissage peut comporter des composants plans (42, 44; 52, 54; 62, 64; 72, 74) qui, de manière similaire, sont insérés puis déformés. La monture (10) peut comprendre au moins deux compartiments pour pierres précieuses. Plusieurs couronnes (94) peuvent être montées sur une embase (92) moulée, avec des renforts (102) entre les couronnes.
