Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of jewelry technology, and in particular to a gemstone setting and chain that can be quickly connected after gemstones are set. Background Technology

[0002] In the jewelry manufacturing industry, gemstone settings are the core components used to hold gemstones in place. Multiple gemstone settings are combined through specific connection structures to form bracelets, necklaces, and other jewelry. Traditional methods of connecting gemstone settings mainly rely on welding and gluing, both of which have many limitations in practical applications.

[0003] Welding is a process that uses high temperatures to permanently connect gemstone settings, creating an irreversible connection. Once completed, the number or arrangement of gemstones cannot be adjusted to suit the wearer's needs or changing aesthetic preferences, resulting in a lack of flexibility and personalization in jewelry. Secondly, welding requires specialized equipment and skilled technicians, leading to high production costs and low efficiency, hindering large-scale, rapid production. More importantly, the localized high temperatures during welding can easily damage gemstones (especially heat-sensitive gems like emeralds and tanzanite), and may also damage the electroplating layer on the gemstone setting, affecting product yield. Adhesive bonding is another common method, using glue or adhesives to bond the gemstone setting to the connector. While simple to operate, this method suffers from poor connection stability and durability. Adhesives exposed to air for extended periods are susceptible to environmental factors such as sweat, temperature changes, ultraviolet radiation, and physical friction, leading to aging, yellowing, cracking, or failure, causing the gemstone setting to detach and posing a risk of gemstone loss. Furthermore, bonded connections are also difficult to disassemble without damage. When a single gemstone setting is damaged or requires maintenance, it often destroys the entire piece, resulting in extremely poor maintainability. Both welding and bonding are "static" and irreversible connection methods. They cannot meet modern consumer demands for flexibility, maintainability, and security in jewelry while ensuring connection strength and production efficiency. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0019] See Figure 1-5As shown, this utility model discloses a gemstone setting that allows for quick connection after gemstone setting. It includes a gemstone setting base 1, a gemstone cavity 4 for mounting gemstones on the upper side of the base 1, a snap-fit ​​assembly 2 at the center of the front side of the base 1, and a top cover 5 at the lower front side of the base 1 for pressing the snap-fit ​​assembly 2. The top cover 5 has a "7"-shaped structure. A stepped groove 3 at the bottom of the rear side of the base 1 is provided for placing the snap-fit ​​assembly 2, allowing it to be snapped onto the next gemstone setting. Inside the stepped groove 3, a smoothing groove 6 is also provided at the bottom of the rear end side of the gemstone base 1 for placing the top cover 5. A connecting groove 7 is provided between the smoothing groove 6 and the stepped groove 3 to allow the buckle assembly 2 to be placed in the stepped groove 3 after passing through the smoothing groove 6 and the connecting groove 7 from the bottom. The outer periphery of the gemstone base 1 is provided with multiple claws 8 for setting and fixing the gemstone in the gemstone cavity 4. A connecting rod 21 and a locking boss 22 are provided on the front side of the gemstone base 1, and a connecting groove 32 and a limiting groove 31 are provided on the rear side of the gemstone base 1. By engaging the connecting rod 21 and locking protrusion 22 of the previous gemstone setting with the gemstone inlaid within the connecting groove 32 and limiting groove 31 of the next gemstone setting, the gemstone setting is first rotated 90° clockwise so that the connecting rod 21 can pass through the connecting groove 7. After passing through the connecting groove 7, the entire gemstone setting is rotated 90° counterclockwise so that the connecting rod 21 and locking protrusion 22 are precisely engaged within the stepped groove 3. Under the action of the limiting groove 31, the movement of the locking assembly 2 is restricted to the rear, and under the action of the connecting groove 7, the movement of the connecting rod 21 is restricted to the upward. Finally, the upper cover 5 is bent so that the end of the upper cover 5 is engaged within the locking groove 13, thereby allowing two adjacent gemstone settings to be quickly engaged together. By repeating the connection action of each gemstone setting, bracelets, necklaces, anklets and other jewelry can be quickly made. Compared with traditional welding technology, this solution can quickly assemble and connect without welding, effectively improving production efficiency, while avoiding damage to the gemstones caused by welding, effectively improving product quality and reducing the scrap rate.

[0020] Specifically, the buckle assembly 2 includes a connecting rod 21 and a locking boss 22. One end of the connecting rod 21 is connected to the gemstone setting base 1, and the other end is connected to the locking boss 22. The connecting rod 21 and the locking boss 22 are arranged in the stepped groove 3 of the next gemstone setting. By locking the connecting rod 21 and the locking boss 22 in the stepped groove 3, a quick connection is achieved. The structure is stable and reliable, and it is detachable, making it convenient to replace or repair one of the gemstone settings in the future.

[0021] Preferably, the stepped groove 3 includes a connecting groove 32 and a limiting groove 31. The connecting rod 21 is adapted to the connecting groove 32 and is engaged in the connecting groove 32. The locking boss 22 is adapted to the limiting groove 31 and is engaged in the limiting groove 31. The adaptation of the connecting rod 21 to the connecting groove 32 makes the gap at the connection smaller, making the connection more secure and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0022] Furthermore, the width of the connecting groove 7 is smaller than the width of the connecting rod 21, and the width of the connecting groove 7 is greater than the thickness of the connecting rod 21, thereby ensuring that the connecting rod 21 can pass smoothly through the connecting groove 7 after being rotated to the side. After being rotated flat, it can also limit the connection rod 21, so that the connecting rod 21 can be firmly stuck in the connecting groove 32.

[0023] Furthermore, the front end of the smoothing groove 6 is provided with a slot 13 for fastening the upper cover 5. By bending the upper cover 5, the upper cover 5 is flush with the bottom of the gemstone base 1, and the front end of the upper cover 5 is locked in the slot 13, making the connection between the two adjacent gemstone bases more secure.

[0024] Furthermore, side holes 9 are provided on both the left and right sides of the gemstone base 1, so that the light under the gemstone can be reflected out through the side holes 9, which makes it easier for viewers to view the gemstone from a wider range and helps to improve the aesthetics of the product.

[0025] Furthermore, the two sides of the connecting rod 21 are first arc-shaped surfaces 10 with a lower middle and higher ends, and the two sides of the connecting groove 32 are provided with second arc-shaped surfaces 14 that are adapted to the first arc-shaped surfaces 10. The connecting rod 21 cooperates with the first arc-shaped surfaces 10 and the second arc-shaped surfaces 14, so that when the connecting rod 21 is engaged in the connecting groove 32, it plays a certain limiting role, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection.

[0026] Furthermore, the top of the locking boss 22 is provided with a third arc-shaped surface 11 that matches the inclined surface of the gemstone, so that the gemstone can better contact the top of the locking boss 22, thereby ensuring that the gemstone will not be damaged during the pressing process.

[0027] Furthermore, multiple fixing claws 8 are evenly distributed on the periphery of the gemstone base 1. The fixing claws 8 have inlay grooves 12 for engaging the edge of the gemstone. The gemstone is engaged through the inlay grooves 12, which makes it easier to hold the gemstone in place and effectively prevents the gemstone from falling out during use.

[0028] A chain includes gemstone settings. Multiple consecutive identical gemstone settings are connected to each other by rotating and locking them into the connecting groove 32 and limiting groove 31 of the next gemstone setting via a connecting rod 21 and a locking boss 22 of the previous gemstone setting. The chain is then secured to the locking groove 13 by a bent top cover 5. This quick connection between gemstone settings enables the rapid production of bracelets, necklaces, anklets, and other jewelry. Compared to traditional welding techniques, this solution allows for rapid assembly and connection without welding, effectively improving production efficiency and facilitating later disassembly, replacement, and maintenance.

[0029] In this embodiment, a gemstone setting that can be quickly connected after gemstone setting is used. A connecting rod 21 and a locking protrusion 22 are provided on the front side of the gemstone setting base 1, and a connecting groove 32 and a limiting groove 31 are provided on the rear side of the gemstone setting base 1. The connecting rod 21 and locking protrusion 22 of the previous gemstone setting are engaged within the connecting groove 32 and limiting groove 31 of the next gemstone setting. During the engagement process, the gemstone setting is first rotated 90° clockwise so that the connecting rod 21 can pass through the connecting groove 7. After passing through the connecting groove 7, the entire gemstone setting is then rotated 90° counterclockwise so that the connecting rod 21 and locking protrusion 22 are precisely engaged. The buckle assembly 2 is locked in the stepped groove 3, and the locking groove 31 restricts its backward movement. The connecting groove 7 restricts the upward movement of the connecting rod 21. Finally, the top cover 5 is bent so that its end is locked in the locking groove 13, allowing two adjacent gemstone holders to be quickly snapped together. By repeating the connection action of each gemstone holder, bracelets, necklaces, anklets and other jewelry can be quickly made. Compared with traditional welding technology, this solution can be quickly assembled and connected without welding, effectively improving production efficiency and avoiding damage to the gemstones caused by welding, thus effectively improving product quality and reducing the scrap rate. This utility model provides a gemstone holder and chain that can be quickly connected after gemstone inlay, solving the problems of irreversibility, complex operation, low efficiency and poor long-term reliability of traditional connection methods. It has the characteristics of wide applicability and strong practicality.
