Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for processing gemstones. Background Technology

[0002] Gemstone processing is a process that involves various steps to make raw stones beautiful and valuable.

[0003] Gemstone processing methods can be broadly categorized into cutting, polishing, and setting; each process is a crucial factor in determining the quality and brilliance of the gemstone, and each step can be explained as follows.

[0005] 1. Cutting step (S1)

[0006] This is the process of cutting a gemstone into a desired shape. The optimal cut is determined by considering the internal structure of the raw stone, and the following methods are available.

[0007] Brilliant Cut: Primarily used for diamonds, it has 57 to 58 facets that maximize light.

[0008] Step Cut: A method of polishing in a step-like pattern, similar to an emerald cut.

[0009] Rose Cut: A cut that has multiple triangular faces like rose petals.

[0011] 2. Polishing Step (S2)

[0012] It is a process of smoothing the surface of a gemstone to create a polish, which maximizes light reflection, and includes the following methods.

[0013] Special abrasives such as diamond powder and cerium oxide are used, and skilled professionals adjust precise angles to maximize light reflection.

[0015] 3. Setting Stage (S3)

[0016] The process of setting processed gemstones into jewelry such as rings, necklaces, and earrings includes the following methods.

[0017] Prong Setting: Secures a gemstone with four or more prongs.

[0018] Bezel Setting: Wrapped with a metal bezel to protect the gemstone and provide a high level of stability.

[0019] Pave Setting: Maximizes sparkle by setting small gemstones closely together.

[0021] In the case of diamonds, the quality of the diamond is evaluated based on the 4Cs.

[0022] 1) Carat / Weight - A unit representing the weight of a diamond, where 1.00 CT is 0.2 g.

[0023] 2) Clarity - Indicates the clarity of the diamond.

[0024] The grade is evaluated by observing the presence, location, and size of inclusions using a 10x magnifying glass.

[0025] 3) Color

[0026] The color of diamonds is graded according to their saturation and brightness, depending on how colorless they are. D color is designated as colorless, and as the color becomes yellower, it is distinguished into 23 grades ranging from E, F, and GZ.

[0027] 4) Cutting

[0028] As the most important factor determining a diamond's brilliance, it is the only element that depends on human subjectivity. It is evaluated based on detailed criteria such as polish and symmetry.

[0030] In the case of platinum, approximately 3 grams are extracted from one ton of raw ore, which accounts for only about 1 / 30 of the total production of pure gold. Known as the most noble metal due to its rarity, platinum is a promise of your eternal love through its purity and nobility that remain unchanged over time.

[0032] Cutting, crafting, and polishing are performed with these factors in mind. Prior art literature

[0035] The present invention aims to maintain and maximize the beauty and quality of products produced by gemstone processing during the polishing and cutting processes. means of solving the problem

[0036] The present invention comprises the steps of: cutting a gemstone (S1); polishing the cut gemstone (S2); and designing the polished gemstone (10) (S3). The present invention relates to a method for processing gemstones, comprising a step (S4) of setting a designed gemstone (10), wherein the step (S1) of cutting the gemstone involves cutting the gemstone (10) by means of a cutter (20), the step (S2) of polishing the cut gemstone involves polishing the surface of the gemstone by means of a polisher, the step (S3) of designing the polished gemstone (10) involves engraving a phrase, initial, or meaningful date on the metal as a process of customizing the surface of the processed gemstone to suit the buyer, and the step (S4) of setting the designed gemstone (10) involves forming a hole to set the processed gemstone in metal jewelry such as a ring, necklace, or earring.

[0037] In addition, in the present invention, the metal jewelry is pink gold, yellow gold, cashmere gold, cinnamon gold, white gold, or lemon gold; cashmere gold and cinnamon gold highlight the warmth and antique quality of the material itself; white gold has excellent strength and luster as it is made by adding a high-grade alloy; and lemon gold may be the natural color of pure white gold without undergoing a white coating process. Effects of the invention

[0038] In the present invention, in the step (S3) of designing the polished gemstone (10), a process of customizing the surface of the processed gemstone to suit the buyer involves engraving a phrase, initial, or meaningful date on the metal to provide the buyer with something special.
