[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2017-144243 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] In conventional jewelry, the jewel is fixed in place while being exposed from the head portion. However, when the jewel is fixed in place while being exposed in this manner, the jewel may be damaged or fall off from the head portion due to an external impact.
[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a fixing structure for a jewel in a piece of jewelry that can prevent damage to or falling off of the jewel, and a piece of jewelry having such a fixing structure. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the fixing structure of the present invention is a fixing structure for a gem in a piece of jewelry, comprising a base and a hanging portion for fixing the gem, the base having a fixing portion and a pillar portion, the fixing portion having a plurality of claw portions for supporting and fixing an end of the gem on the side, the pillar portion being set higher than the claw portions in the fixing portion, the pillar portion having a first pillar portion provided on the right side of the fixing portion and a second pillar portion provided on the left side of the fixing portion, the hanging portion being provided to bridge and connect the upper end of the first pillar portion and the upper end of the second pillar portion, and a space being formed between the lower end of the hanging portion and the upper end of the claw portion in the fixing portion.
[0007] According to the present invention, the pillars are set higher than the claws of the fixed part, and have a first pillar provided on the right side of the fixed part and a second pillar provided on the left side of the fixed part, the bridging part is provided to bridge and connect the upper end of the first pillar and the upper end of the second pillar, and a space is formed between the lower end of the bridging part and the upper end of the claws of the fixed part, so that when the jewel is fixed to the fixed part, the bridging part protects the jewel from external impact and prevents damage to the jewel. Also, because a space is formed between the lower end of the bridging part and the upper end of the claws of the fixed part, the lower end of the bridging part and the upper end of the claws are less likely to come into contact with each other, and damage and wear to the claws can be prevented. This prevents the jewel from falling off the claws.
[0008] When the jewel is fixed to the fixing part, a space is formed between the lower end of the bridging part and the upper end of the jewel, so that the lower end of the bridging part and the upper end of the jewel rarely come into contact with each other, preventing damage and wear of the jewel. Also, since the upper end of the jewel is located below the lower end of the bridging part, a unique aesthetic feeling can be provided.
[0009] The base has a recess into which the lower side of the jewel is fitted and fixed inside the multiple claws of the fixing part, so that the fixing part and the recess work together to fix the jewel.
[0010] The claw portion is shaped like an elliptical cylinder, and by supporting and fixing the end of the jewel on the side of the long end of the elliptical cylinder shape, the end of the jewel can be supported by the side portion of the claw portion with the greater curvature, and the end of the jewel can be supported and securely fixed by being supported by the portion with the greater surface pressure. The claw portion has a recess on the side surface into which the end of the jewel is fitted to fix it, thereby preventing the jewel from falling off the claw portion.
[0011] The claw portion is configured by arranging a first claw portion through a fourth claw portion in a rectangular shape, and the first claw portion and the second claw portion, and the third claw portion and the fourth claw portion are arranged side by side in the left-right direction at a predetermined interval, and the first claw portion and the third claw portion, and the second claw portion and the fourth claw portion are arranged side by side in the front-to-back direction at a predetermined interval, thereby supporting and fixing the edge of the jewel from four directions.
[0012] The two first pillars are provided on the right side of the fixed portion, and the two second pillars are provided on the left side of the fixed portion, one of the two first pillars and one of the two second pillars are provided on the left and right sides along the installation direction of the first claw portion and the second claw portion, and the other of the two first pillars and the other of the two second pillars are provided on the left and right sides along the installation direction of the third claw portion and the fourth claw portion.
[0013] In other words, the hanging portion has a first hanging portion and a second hanging portion, the first hanging portion is arranged to hang and connect between the upper end of the one first pillar portion and the upper end of the one second pillar portion, and the second hanging portion is arranged to hang and connect between the upper end of the other first pillar portion and the upper end of the other second pillar portion, and since the first claw portion to the fourth claw portion of the fixing portion are blocked from view from the outside when viewed from above, the state in which the claw portions are supporting the ends of the gemstones cannot be seen from the outside, providing a unique aesthetic feel.
[0014] The width dimension of the pillar portion and the bridging portion is greater than the width dimension of the claw portion of the fixing portion, so that the claw portion can be reliably blocked from view from outside.
[0015] Laser processing can be performed on joints between the bridge portion, the fixed portion, and the column portion. The bridge portion may be formed in a rectangular shape. The rectangular wire may be a rectangular wire. The base and the bridge portion may be formed using a precious metal. The precious metal may be gold or platinum. The gemstones may be diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and pearls.
[0016] In order to solve the above problems, the jewelry according to the present invention is characterized by having the fixing structure described above. The jewelry may be a ring, a necklace, a bracelet, a pierced earring, or an earring. Effect of the Invention
[0017] As described above, according to the present invention, damage to or falling off of jewels can be prevented. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0035] As described above, according to the present invention, the pillar portion 40 is set to be taller than the claw portion 31 in the fixed portion 30, and has a first pillar portion 41A, 41B provided on the right side of the fixed portion 30, and a second pillar portion 42A, 42B provided on the left side of the fixed portion 30, and the hanging portion 20 is provided to span and connect the upper ends 41' of the first pillar portions 41A, 41B and the upper ends 42' of the second pillar portions 42A, 42B, and a space is formed between the lower end 20A of the hanging portion 20 and the upper end 31' of the claw portion 31 in the fixed portion 30, so that when the jewel 120 is fixed to the fixed portion 30, the hanging portion 20 protects the jewel 120 from external impacts and prevents damage to the jewel 120. In addition, by forming a space 50 between the lower end 20A of the hanging part 20 and the upper end 31' of the claw part 31 of the fixing part 30, the lower end 20A of the hanging part 20 and the upper end 31' of the claw part 31 rarely come into contact with each other, which can prevent damage and wear of the claw part 31. This can prevent the jewel 120 from falling off the claw part 31.
[0036] In addition, when the jewel 120 is fixed to the fixing part 30, a space 60 is formed between the lower end 20A of the hanging part 20 and the upper end 120A of the jewel 120, so that the lower end 20A of the hanging part 20 and the upper end 120A of the jewel 120 rarely come into contact with each other, preventing damage and wear of the jewel 120. In addition, since the upper end 120A of the jewel 120 is located below the lower end 20A of the hanging part 20, a unique aesthetic feeling can be provided.
[0037] Furthermore, the base 10 has a recess 70 into which the jewel 120 is fitted and fixed inside the multiple claws 31 of the fixing part 30, so that the fixing part 30 and the recess 70 work together to fix the jewel 120.
[0038] Furthermore, by making the claw portion 31 shaped like an elliptical cylinder and supporting and fixing the end 120A of the jewel 120 on the side 31' on the end 31a side of the long side of the elliptical cylinder shape, the end 120A of the jewel 120 can be supported by the part of the claw portion 31 on the side 31' side with the greater curvature, and the end 120A of the jewel 120 can be supported and securely fixed by the part with the greater surface pressure. Furthermore, the claw portion 31 has a recess 31b on the side surface 31' into which the end 120A of the jewel 120 is fitted to be fixed, thereby preventing the jewel 120 from falling off the claw portion 31.
[0039] Furthermore, the claw portion 31 is configured by arranging the first claw portion 31A to the fourth claw portion 31D in a rectangular shape, and the first claw portion 31A, the second claw portion 31B, and the third claw portion 31C, and the fourth claw portion 31D are arranged side by side in the left-right direction at a predetermined interval, while the first claw portion 31A, the third claw portion 31C, and the second claw portion 31B, and the fourth claw portion 31D are arranged side by side in the front-to-back direction at a predetermined interval, thereby supporting and fixing the end portion 120A of the jewel 120 from four directions.
[0040] In addition, the hanging portion 20 has a first hanging portion 21 and a second hanging portion 22, and the first hanging portion 21 is arranged to span and connect the upper end 41' of one first pillar portion 41A and the upper end 42' of one second pillar portion 42A, and the second hanging portion 22 is arranged to span and connect the upper end 41' of the other first pillar portion 41B and the upper end 42' of the other second pillar portion 42B.Since the view from the outside of the first claw portion 31A to the fourth claw portion 31D of the fixing portion 30 is blocked when viewed from above, the state in which the claw portion 31 is supporting the end portion 120A of the jewel 120 cannot be seen from the outside, providing a unique aesthetic feeling.
[0041] Furthermore, the width dimension of the pillar portion 41 and the bridging portion 20 is greater than the width dimension of the claw portion 31 of the fixing portion 30, so that the claw portion 31 can be reliably blocked from view from the outside.
[0042] It is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. [Explanation of symbols]
