Benefits of technology

The present invention is a method of visually accenting a piece of jewelry by altering the lighting characteristics of gemstones integrated into the jewelry piece. The method involves mounting a large gemstone over a jewelry piece with a plurality of inset gemstones using a collar and a plurality of prongs. The large gemstone is positioned over the plurality of inset gemstones and is secured using a plurality of thin upper prongs. The method allows for the secure mounting of the large gemstone while also enhancing the overall visual appearance and lighting characteristics of the jewelry piece. The technical effect of the invention is to provide a more visually appealing and lighting-oriented jewelry piece.

Problems solved by technology

However, this method of mounting the gemstone presents several problems.
Further, in the case of a jewelry piece with a plurality of gemstones, the plurality of prongs obstructs light as it passes through each gemstone.
This diminishes the contrast between the gemstones and diminishes the overall effect of the light bouncing off each of the gemstone.

Abstract

A method of visually accenting a piece of jewelry requires mounting a prominent decoration over an annular jewelry piece integrated with a plurality of inset ornaments. The method utilizes an annular jewelry piece, a plurality of prongs, a collar, and a prominent decoration. A plurality of inset ornaments is integrated into the jewelry piece. The prominent decoration is mounted over the plurality of ornaments by clearing a foundational surface from the outer surface. More specifically, the plurality of prongs is mounted into a plurality of mounting holes drilled into the foundational surface. The collar is then affixed onto the plurality of prongs, and the prominent decoration is affixed to the collar.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to a method of visually accenting a piece of jewelry. More specifically, the method relates to mounting a prominent decoration over an annular jewelry piece integrated with a plurality of inset ornaments.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Gemstones are usually secured to a jewelry piece with a plurality of prongs. The jewelry piece may be a ring, a brooch, a pendant, or the like. The gemstone may refer to diamond, opal, sapphire, topaz, or similar precious stones known in the relevant arts. To mount the gemstone to the jewelry piece, the plurality of prongs is mounted in a circular fashion onto the ring. The gemstone is then positioned between the plurality of prongs and each of the plurality of prongs is pressed against the gemstone, thereby creating a press fit engagement. However, this method of mounting the gemstone presents several problems. For example, the plurality of prongs conceals multiple portions of the g...
