Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a gemstone setting where a large primary diamond with reduced pavilion and broad flat culet is mounted on a smaller secondary diamond. This results in the secondary diamond enhancing the visual appearance of the primary diamond to replicate the appearance of a stone without reduced pavilion. The light from the primary diamond enters the secondary diamond and is reflected back into the primary diamond, improving its optical appearance.

Problems solved by technology

Large stones, however, typically are relatively heavy and are generally thus more expensive than smaller stones.
As a result, these stones tend to have a relatively high weight, and thus, tend to be quite costly.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a gemstone setting 10 in accordance with the present disclosure. In a preferred embodiment, the setting 10 includes a primary diamond 12 mounted above a secondary diamond 14. In FIG. 1, the secondary diamond 14 is indicated in dotted lines on the primary diamond 12 since it is positioned under the primary diamond. In addition, a plurality of surrounding diamonds 16 may be provided surrounding the primary diamond 12.

[0022]The primary diamond 12 is supported by primary mounting element 20. The primary mounting element 20 extends upward from a base 19 and supports the primary diamond 12 above the secondary diamond 14. The secondary diamond 14 is supported by a secondary mounting element 22 that also extends upward from the base 19 below the primary diamond 12. The secondary support element supports the secondary diamond 14 such that a top surface thereof is positioned close to a bottom of the primary diamond 12. A surrounding support ...

Abstract

A gemstone setting in accordance with and embodiment of the present application includes a base, a primary support extending upward from the base, a primary diamond mounted in the primary support and including a reduced pavilion and a broad flat culet on a bottom thereof, a secondary support extending upward from the base and a secondary diamond mounted in the secondary support such that a top of the secondary diamond is close to the broad flat culet of the secondary diamond, such that light leaking from the broad flat culet of the primary diamond enters the secondary diamond and is reflected back into the primary diamond to enhance optical appearance of the primary diamond.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a gemstone setting including a larger primary stone and a smaller secondary stone positioned underneath the primary stone to enhance the optical characteristics of the primary stone.[0002]In a conventional diamond, light is captured from the table of the diamond and is reflected internally in the facets of the diamond and a combination of fire, brilliance and scintillation (i.e. LIFE) is returned back through the table to the viewer's eyes. Larger stones have larger tables, and if of good quality, generally provide a more aesthetically pleasing appearance to the viewer. Large stones, however, typically are relatively heavy and are generally thus more expensive than smaller stones.[0003]Large diamonds with large table areas typically include a relatively deep pavilion and a culet, or bottom facet, opposite the table. As a result, these stones tend to have a relatively high weight, and thus, tend to be quite costly.[000...
