Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 A type of gold jewelry inlaid with gemstones, comprising a jewelry body 1, an outer frame 2, gemstones 4, and a hard gold plating layer.

[0026] At least the outer surface of the jewelry body 1 is made of hard gold. In this embodiment, the jewelry body 1 is made of thin-walled hard pure gold in the shape of a gourd with a wall thickness of 0.3 mm and is hollow inside to reduce weight. The outer frame 2 is used to fit and adapt to the outside of the jewelry body 1, and the outer frame 2 has multiple inlay positions 3 hollowed out.

[0027] Gemstone 4, which is set in the setting position 3 of the outer frame 2; hard gold plating layer, which is integrally covered on the outer surface of gemstone 4, outer frame 2 and jewelry body 1.

[0028] By using hard gold as the outer surface of the jewelry body 1, the overall hardness of the jewelry can be increased, preventing deformation. By setting an outer frame 2 independent of the jewelry body 1, the processing difficulty of the setting position 3 is reduced, facilitating the setting of the gemstone 4. Electroplating is used to integrate the gemstone 4, outer frame 2, and body into a single unit, resulting in a continuous hard gold electroplating layer covering the outer surfaces of the gemstone 4, outer frame 2, and body 1. This enhances structural strength and effectively prevents the gemstone 4 from falling out. This solution solves the setting problem caused by the brittleness of pure gold, eliminating the need for glue. The integrated electroplating layer prevents the gemstone 4 from falling out, improving durability; the outer frame 2 can be processed separately, improving production efficiency and design flexibility.

[0029] Preferably, the thickness of the hard gold plating layer is 5-20 micrometers. Too thin (<5 micrometers) will result in insufficient wear resistance, while too thick (>20 micrometers) is prone to cracking. This thickness range balances protection and ductility. It ensures the plating layer is firm without affecting the aesthetic details of the jewelry, optimizes the balance between cost and performance, and avoids the risk of brittleness increased by an excessively thick plating layer.

[0030] Preferably, the outer frame 2 includes a left half and a right half. After the gemstone 4 is set, the left and right half are respectively fitted onto the outside of the jewelry body 1. Then, the left and right half are welded together using a laser to form a whole. This avoids the heat deformation of traditional welding, does not affect the internal hard gold thin-walled structure of the jewelry body 1, and ensures high welding strength and the integrity of the outer frame.

[0031] Preferably, the diameter of the setting position 3 on the inner side of the outer frame 2 is larger than the diameter on the outer side of the outer frame 2. Combined with the split design of the outer frame 2, the gemstone 4 can be set directly from the inner side of the setting position 3. After the gemstone 4 is set, the inner wide diameter forms a mechanical lock to prevent the gemstone 4 from falling outward, improve the setting stability, and eliminate the need for additional metal claws, thus simplifying the structure.

[0032] Preferably, for further fixation, the inner wall of the hollow groove of the setting position 3 is provided with a micro-protrusion or chamfer structure. The micro-protrusion increases friction, and the chamfer guides the gemstone 4 to be accurately embedded. This further prevents the gemstone 4 from loosening and reduces the difficulty of the setting process.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the gemstone 4 is fixed in the setting position 3 by prong setting or bezel setting, and the connection between the gemstone 4 and the outer frame 2 is reinforced by laser welding after setting. The gemstone 4 is first mechanically fixed, and then the connection is strengthened by locally molten metal through laser welding. This dual fixing mechanism completely prevents the stone from falling out; the laser welding is precisely controlled, does not damage the gemstone 4, and requires no glue.

[0034] In this embodiment, the jewelry body 1 is a gourd-shaped piece of thin-walled, high-purity gold material; it also includes a central rotating shaft 5, which is rotatably connected to both the jewelry body 1 and the outer frame 2. This allows the jewelry body 1 and the outer frame 2 to rotate relative to each other. The thin-walled gourd shape reduces weight, and the rotating shaft design enables a dynamic wearing effect, enhancing both its fun and aesthetic appeal. Therefore, when worn, the outer frame 2 can rotate freely 360° around the gourd body.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the central pivot 5 is a metal shaft that passes through the jewelry body 1 and is rotatably connected to the outer frame 2, allowing the jewelry body 1 and the outer frame 2 to rotate relative to each other. This metal shaft provides a stable pivot point, preventing component misalignment, ensuring smooth and durable rotation, and making it suitable for long-term wear.

[0036] Preferably, the outer frame 2 also has multiple open viewing positions. These open sections reduce weight, increase visual depth, enhance the design's artistic appeal, and reduce material costs.

[0037] The viewing area can be patterned; the hollow structure of the outer frame 2 can be CNC engraved; the gemstone 4 is double-fixed by mechanical buckles and laser welding, which has a good anti-fall-off effect; the electroplating layer makes the surface hardness of the jewelry reach HV120, which improves wear resistance; the rotating design increases the dynamic beauty and helps to improve customer satisfaction.

[0038] The jewelry body 1 is a component of a necklace pendant, bracelet ornament, or earring.

[0039] In this embodiment, a chain clasp 6 is also included, which is connected to the outer frame 2. The chain clasp 6 has a chain-threading hole 7 that is compatible with necklaces and bracelets. Furthermore, the chain clasp 6 also has a gemstone setting position 3, thereby further enhancing its aesthetic appeal.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
