Benefits of technology

[0006] The inventive ring assembly consists of only two parts, i.e. the ring body and the bezel holding the gem. As will be better described below, thanks to the particular construction of the assembly according to the invention, a manufacturer in this field will be able to keep in stock only ten ring bodies of various sizes and five bezels with the gems of relative carat weight, according to a normal assortment. Obviously, this means a considerable saving in costs.

[0018] With reference to the figures, the ring assembly forming the object of the present invention will be now described.

[0019] The ring assembly, being indicated as a whole with numeral 1, consists of a bezel 2 and a ring body 3.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the ring body 3 has a substantially rectangular section, with substantially flat sides, (outer) convex upper face and concave lower face (in contact with the finger). The ring body 3 comprises a seat 4 for the bezel 2 and has a greater thickness at said seat 4 and a diminishing thickness as moving away from the seat 4.

[0021] The seat 4 for the bezel 2 has a substantially V-shaped notch and comprises a bridge portion 5 joining both flaps of the notch. The bridge portion 5 continues in two ribs 6, 6′, the contour of which comprises a first portion departing from said bridge portion 5 forming a right angle and a second portion developing, substantially parallel to the V-shaped contour of the notch, until the outer edge of ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a ring assembly allowing a fast and accurate assembly in order to provide a ring, particularly a solitaire ring. Particularly, the present invention relates to a ring assembly (1), which can be assembled to provide a ring, comprising a bezel (2) and a ring body (3) having a seat (4) for said bezel (2), characterized in that said bezel (2) comprises a fixing portion (9a) being complementary to the seat (4) of said ring body (3) and an anchorage portion (9b) for a gem, wherein said anchorage portion (9b) changes according to the gem size, whereas said fixing portion (9a) and said seat (4) have a complementary, predetermined and unvariable configuration regardless of the size of said ring body (3) or said gem.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a ring assembly allowing a fast and accurate assembly providing a ring, particularly a solitaire ring. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The solitaire ring, tipically a diamond, is by far the most widespread type of ring in the world. In fact, it is the traditional engagement gift and, in some cases, is given more than once in a lifetime, on the occasion of particularly important anniversaries. [0003] Therefore, it is understood that ring manufacturers should always keep in stock a number of solitaire rings. In fact, rings of various sizes are required to be available in order to fit the customers' fingers. Furthermore, the carat weight range of the diamond should be a quite assorted one in order to meet different requirements. There are ten sizes commonly used with rings, while the most in demand diamond carat weights are five. This means that a manufacturer of such type of rings should always keep fifty rings in stock...
