Benefits of technology

[0005]To overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention mainly aims to provide a visible setting, which could enable more light to enter into the gemstones or diamonds and make the gemstones or diamonds as brilliant as possible.
[0016]The present visible setting is mainly realized by means of prong setting, pave setting, bezel setting and so on. The connection portion of the setting base is displaced away from the culets of the gemstones. That is, the connection portion is located beside the culets of the gemstones, which enable the culets and pavilions around the respective culets to be exposed. Furthermore, the side of each gemstone between two connection points, such as the crown, the girdle and the pavilion are exposed. Therefore, the reflection of light within the gemstones could be improved, which makes the gemstones to be as brilliant as possible. In addition, comparing to the existing setting methods, the amount of gold needed for covering gemstones or diamonds in the present invention is less than that in the existing setting methods. Thus, the jewelry made by means of the present invention is lighter than those made through the existing methods, and the consumption of gold could be lowered.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, it is not sufficient for light to enter into the gemstones or diamonds for reflection or refraction, which may lower brilliance of the gemstones or diamonds.

first embodiment

Two-Claw Visible Setting

[0047]FIGS. 1 to 1D are a schematic perspective view and relevant views of the first embodiment of the visible setting according to the present invention. The visible setting of the present embodiment includes a setting base and one or more round diamonds mounted on the former. The setting base is of a two-claw structure, which comprises one or more upper fixing portions and a lower connection portion connected to the fixing portions. Each of the fixing portions extends upwards from a connection point of the connection portion to enable to fix a respective diamond in its setting position, and includes two claws extending from the connection point and orientated in two different directions. The upper part of each claw is fixed to the girdle of a respective diamond at a certain point. The rest of the girdle as well as the crown and table above the girdle of each diamond are exposed. In addition, the pavilion below the girdle of each diamond is suspended, that i...

second embodiment

Two Prong Pave Visible Setting

[0052]FIGS. 2 to 2D are a schematic perspective view and relevant views of the second embodiment of the visible setting according to the present invention. The visible setting of the present embodiment includes a setting base and one or more round diamonds mounted on the former. The setting base is of a two-prong pave structure, which comprises one or more upper fixing portions and a lower connection portion connected to the fixing portions. Each of the fixing portions extends upwards from a connection point of the connection portion to enable to fix a respective diamond in its setting position, and includes two prongs, in which the tips of each prong at both sides thereof are aligned with girdles of two diamonds adjoining the prong. The girdle of each diamond is fixed by four prongs 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 of two fixing portions from both sides, and two prongs between two adjacent diamonds are common prongs for the two diamonds, such as prongs 2.3 and 2....

third embodiment

Three-Claw Visible Setting

[0059]FIGS. 3 to 3C are a schematic perspective view and relevant views of the third embodiment of the visible setting according to the present invention. The visible setting of the present embodiment is in shape of a flower, which includes a setting base and one or more diamonds mounted on the former. The diamonds include a central diamond located at the center and a plurality of side diamonds around the central diamond. In the present embodiment, the number of the side diamonds is six. However, it should be understood that the number of the side diamonds could be more or less than 6, such as 5. The setting base is of a three-claw structure, and comprises one or more upper fixing portions and a lower connection portion connected to the fixing portions. Each of the fixing portions extends upwards from a connection point of the connection portion to enable to fix a respective diamond in its setting position. Therefore, a central setting position and six side...

Abstract

A visible setting comprises a setting base and one or more gemstones or diamonds. The setting base comprises one or more upper fixing portions and a lower connection portion, each fixing portion is fixed to a girdle of a gemstone or diamond at certain fixing points to enable to fix the gemstone or diamond in its setting position. Except for the fixing points, the rest of the girdle, a crown and a table of the gemstone or diamond are exposed, and a pavilion of the gemstone or diamond is suspended, and thereby a culet of the gemstone or diamond and part of the pavilion around the culet are displaced away from the setting base to enable to be exposed, which enables external light to enter into the gemstone or diamond from the crown, the table and the exposed part of the pavilion. The present visible setting could enhance the reflection of light within the gemstones or diamonds, and make the gemstones or diamonds as brilliant as possible.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The application claims the priority benefits of a Hong Kong Short-Term Patent Application No. 09108153.7 filed on Sep. 7, 2009, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to a gemstone or diamond setting technology, and particularly to a visible setting for mounting gemstones or diamonds.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]With development of society and level of our daily life, demands for gemstones and diamonds are increased rapidly. As a special kind of minerals, gemstones and diamonds have brilliant external characteristics and deep internal connotations, and thereby are cherished by the public. Gemstones or diamonds are usually applied to ornaments, such as necklace pendants, eardrops, rings, etc. The existing methods for mounting gemstones or diamonds on ornaments mainly include claw or prong setting, pave setting, channel setting, bezel...
