Description

Personalized pet-themed souvenir jewelry Personalized Pet Trait Commemorative Ornament Technical Field

[0001] This creation relates to a commemorative ornament, specifically a personalized pet-themed commemorative ornament that can be designed based on the unique physical characteristics of an individual pet and securely house and seal the pet memento on the back of the ornament. Prior Technology

[0002] To commemorate their pets' lives, many owners or collectors choose to preserve their fur, ashes, or other shed body parts. Common techniques primarily involve two methods: one is placing the pet memento in a miniature container (such as a small urn inside a necklace pendant); the other is directly mixing the pet memento with resin (such as epoxy resin or UV adhesive) and then casting it into blocks or ornaments.

[0003] On the other hand, the technique of using molding techniques such as silicone to capture the unique physical characteristics, textures, or structures of individual pets and then creating metal or non-metal ornaments is a known technology on the market and is openly sold. Such ornaments are usually presented as souvenirs simply for their appearance and texture.

[0004] However, the aforementioned conventional techniques still have the following shortcomings: (1) Traditional container-style pendants lack personalization in appearance and cannot be combined with the unique physical characteristics of pets; (2) Simple textured ornaments lack the function of containing pet keepsakes and are insufficient in commemorative value; (3) Conventional methods of combining resin with keepsakes are difficult to match with the delicate manufacturing process of metal ornaments. Therefore, how to perfectly combine the unique physical characteristics of a highly individualized pet with permanently sealed pet keepsakes to provide a more commemorative, exquisite, and suitable ornament carrier for daily wear is a problem that the industry needs to solve.

[0005] In view of this, the creator has created a personalized pet-themed commemorative ornament, which improves upon the shortcomings of the aforementioned conventional techniques through innovative structural design. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The main purpose of this creation is to provide a personalized pet memento that uses a metal ornament made according to the unique characteristics of each pet as a carrier and has a containment structure on the back to permanently seal the pet memento, thereby maximizing the commemorative value of the ornament and the visual integrity of the features and textures on the front.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this personalized pet memento mainly comprises the following structural components: a metal body, the shape of which is made according to the unique physical characteristics of an individual pet, and having a front and a back; a receiving groove recessed into the back of the metal body; a pet memento placed within the receiving groove; and a resin sealing layer covering the opening of the receiving groove, permanently sealing the pet memento to the back of the metal body.

[0008] Through the above structural design, the personalized pet memento ornament created in this work achieves the following effects: the front feature of the ornament is fully displayed without being affected by the structure of the recessed groove; and the metal main body serves as the permanent carrier of the pet memento.

[0015] Example 1: Metal ornaments featuring cat or dog nose prints or paw prints

[0016] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. This embodiment reveals a preferred implementation of the personalized pet commemorative ornament of this invention. The ornament is a metal body (1), the shape of which is made according to the unique physical characteristics of an individual pet. In this embodiment, the characteristic is preferably the nose print or paw print of a cat or dog.

[0017] The front (7) of the metal body (1) features a three-dimensional texture (9) that resembles the pet. The three-dimensional texture (9) can be formed in any way, such as a relief formed by a precision casting mold, or directly on the surface of the metal body by laser engraving, mechanical lettering, or chemical etching. The back (6) has a recess (2) for receiving.

[0018] The metal body (1) can be manufactured by precision casting, electroforming or metal 3D printing, and the material can be precious metals (such as gold, silver, platinum) or stainless steel. The periphery of the metal body (1) can be provided with a suspension structure (5), such as a hanging ring.

[0019] The term "unique physical characteristics of an individual pet" as used in this work refers to the unique textures or structures on that individual pet that can be replicated to form the appearance of an ornament. The scope is broad, including not only the nose prints / paw prints of cats and dogs mentioned above, but also the paw prints / nose prints of rabbits, the scutes of turtles, the scales of fish, etc., to support the broad scope of this patent.

[0020] The back (6) of the metal body (1) is recessed with a receiving groove (2). The receiving groove (2) is large enough to hold a small amount of pet mementos (3), which in this embodiment is preferably a small amount of cat or dog ashes, teeth or hair.

[0021] During production, the pet souvenir (3) is placed into the receiving groove (2), and an appropriate amount of resin sealing material (4) is added, such as low-viscosity ultraviolet (UV) curing resin or epoxy resin with anti-yellowing properties, so that it cures to form a resin sealing layer (4), completely sealing the souvenir (3). The surface of the resin sealing layer (4) can be polished and made flush with the back (6) of the metal body (1).

[0022] Example 2: Customized Information Structure on the Back

[0023] Please refer to Figure 4, which illustrates another implementation of this invention. The structure of the ornament is basically the same as that described in Embodiment 1, but further emphasizes the customization function of the back (6). Additional customized information (8) may be provided on the back (6) of the ornament around the receiving groove (2) or in the resin sealing layer (4) above the groove (2).

[0024] The customized information (8) can be formed through laser engraving, lettering or relief, such as the pet's name, pattern, birthday or anniversary date, etc., to achieve the purpose of customization and maximizing the commemorative value.

[0025] Example 3: Composite Features and Commemorative Carrier Ornaments

[0026] Please refer to Figure 5, which illustrates another implementation method. The ornament is a metal body (1), preferably shaped like a pet nose or paw. The metal body (1) includes a main feature area (A) and a carrier area (B).

[0027] Among them, the main feature area (A) is a three-dimensional texture (9) that presents the unique physical characteristics of the pet (e.g., nose print or palm print), and its formation can be referred to in various ways as described in Example 1.

[0028] The carrier area (B) is recessed on the front of the metal body to form a receiving groove (2). The shape of the receiving groove is similar to a base for setting cabochon gemstones, and its opening is located on the front of the metal body.

[0029] After the pet keepsake (3) is placed into the receiving groove (2), it is covered and permanently sealed with a resin sealing layer (4) from the front. With this design, the front of the ornament can simultaneously present the complete pet feature texture and the visible pet keepsake, providing dual commemorative value.
