Abstract

Description

Ornament.

The current invention relates to an ornament.

There are already many embodiments of ornaments.

More specifically the invention relates to an ornament in the form of a natural rose, the lifetime of which was extended by subjecting it to a stabilisation process.

Such a stabilisation process is already known whereby the rose is, for example, submerged in a bath of glycerine under high pressure and temperature,

In this way the rose is preserved for several years and all this time it retains its natural look and texture of a fresh rose. Such ah ornament is known and has the advantage of staying very nice over a long time and is therefore very suitable to be given as a gift.

The purpose of the invention is to give such an ornament extra cachet and value.

To this end, the invention relates to an ornament in the form of a natural rose, more specifically the flower of a rose, that was subjected to a stabilisation process to preserve its natural look, whereby the stabilised rose is provided with a number of small cut diamonds that are glued on the petals spread over the rose or part thereof.

The small diamonds give an extra brilliance to the ornament, such that more attention is drawn to the ornament

¾fheh the rose's natural beauty inevitably recedes gradually after years, the small diamonds ensure the ornament still keeps a certain cachet and value.

The ornament is perfectly suitable to, together with a piece of jewellery such as a ring or the like, be offered as a gift, whereby the synergetic effect between the ornament and the piece of jewellery will certainly contribute to the appreciation of the individual to whom it is given and will certainly be able to produce a wow reaction.

Preferably, small cut diamonds are used with a so-called rose cut, also known as roosjes (little roses) , which typically are cut with a flat bottom, in other words without a so-called pavilion,

Such cut makes it easier to glue the small cut diamonds on the petals.

Preferably, the flower of the rose has opened such that the petals are open. This means the flower is shown in its nicest way with a maximum visible area to draw the attention. Preferably, the small diamonds are then also spread evenly over the top of the open rose.

According to a preferred characteristic of the invention small diamonds with a contrasting colour in relation to the colour of the rose are chosen.

The rose cuts occur predominantly in three Colours, being white, champagne and brown.

A nice striking combination is a red rose combined with white or champagne coloured small diamonds.

Another nice combination is formed by a white rose with small brown diamonds.

The ornament can be presented in a jewellery box with a flip-open lid, e.g. together with a piece of jewellery such as a ring or the like to present the piece of jewellery as a gift. It is guaranteed that a gift presented in this way will not miss its effect_*

With the intention of better showing the characteristics of the invention, a few preferred embodiments of an ornament according to the invention are described hereinafter by way of an example without any limiting nature, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein: figure 1 schematically shows a perspective view of an ornament according to the invention; figure 2 shows two views of a small diamond as indicated with arrow F2 in figure 1;

figure 3 shows the ornament of figure 1 in a gift presentation_*

The ornament 1 shown in figure 1 contains a natural rose 2 as the basis, more specifically the flower of a rose plant, which was subjected to a stabilisation process to preserve its natural look over a longer period of time.

In the example shown it involves a flower that has opened, whereby the petals 3 have opened.

The top of the rose 2 is covered with a number of small cut diamonds 4 which, spread evenly, have been glued on the petals 3.

The small diamonds 4 are preferably cut in the form of a rose cut, typically with a flat bottom 5 with which they can be glued in a solid and stable way on the petals 3.

Figure 2 shows an example of such a diamond 4 with a rose cut, in this case with a round shape seen from above, Apart from the round shape, rose cuts also occur in other shapes such as a tear, an oval or the like, all with a flat bottom 5.

The ornament presents very nicely as a piece of jewellery in a modified jewellery Jbpx 6 with a flip-open lid 7 as shown in figure 3, possibly in combination with a piece of jewellery 8 such as a ring or the like.

As the case may be, the jewellery box may have a provision 8 in the form of a slot or the like to temporarily hold a piece of jewellery 9 such as a ring or the like and to present it as shown in figure 3.

It is clear that such a provision 8 and piece of jewellery 9 are optional as the ornament 1 in itself can already be considered as a piece of jewellery.

The present invention is by no means limited to the embodiments described as an example and shown ih the drawings, but an ornament according to the invention can be realised in all kinds of forms and dimensions without departing from the scope of the invention.
