Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending application Ser. No. 29 / 114,325 filed Nov. 23, 1999. TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The present disclosure relates to settings and arrangements for gemstones. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to settings and arrangements of gemstones that enhance their visual characteristics. BACKGROUND OF RELATED ART [0003] Gem arrangements seek to enhance the appearance of the gems by making them appear larger and / or enhance their visual characteristics. Different mounting systems enhance the simulated appearance of composite gems by their lack of visibility. Alternatively, gems can be arranged to reflect or refract light in a complementary manner such that light further enhances the natural beauty of the arrangement. Complementary arrangements position a plurality of complementary gems in relation to a central gem such that the refracted light from the complementary gems is at least pa...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The invention is a gemstone setting that includes at least two gemstones arranged in a side-to-side configuration forming a gemstone arrangement with four corners. The corners of the arrangement are secured by four double posts, and a support means further supports the arrangement at a midpoint between the corners. The double posts are cylindrical and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees with respect to the corner of the arrangement. The support means includes a horizontal cross bar and a vertical stabilization bar connected by an invisible ridge. The gemstones can be either princess cut or emerald cut, and the arrangement allows for increased surface area and more light to pass through the tables of the gemstones. The invention also allows light to be received on both sides of the arrangement."

Problems solved by technology

However, this cut does not generally achieve the most dispersion.

There are a variety of step, brilliant and mixed cut gemstone cuts, however, there are several problems that the prior art presents and furthermore the prior are does not address the particular need for the better gemstone arrangement that has superior combination of factors for scintillation, dispersion, and brilliancy.
