029010000 | GEM AND JEWEL SETTING | 6 |
20080235925 | Gem setting having grooved channel walls and methods of setting gems - A gem setting for gemstones includes a channel with walls having grooves for holding a portion of a gem girdle, such that when a gem having a crown is set into the channel, the upper portion of the groove extends over the crown of the gem. The upper part of the channel above the groove can be permanently bent or rolled over the crown of the gem to secure the gem in the ring channel. A method of setting a gem in the channel includes inserting the gem girdle in the grooves, without permanently bending the channel walls, until the gem is positioned within the channel such that if the gem and ring together are placed in an upside down position, the gem will not fall out of the channel. Next, the upper part of each channel is permanently bent over the crown of the gem, to thereby secure the gem in the channel. | 10-02-2008 |
20100229360 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SETTING GEMSTONES - In accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention, a method and apparatus for setting gemstones. The apparatus includes a frame, an adjusting screw, and a substantially self-centering thimble. The method includes disposing at least a portion of a setting into a thimble cavity, disposing a gemstone into the prongs of the setting, disposing the thimble on a fixed jaw of a setting device, rotating the grip, and further actuating the forming tool towards the thimble to set the gemstone. | 09-16-2010 |

20140215781 | Method of Mounting Stones for Improved Appearance - A method of mounting stones for an improved appearance comprises providing a large stone having a circumferential edge, providing a plurality of first small stones having first circumferential edges, providing a plurality of second small stones having second circumferential edges, arranging the plurality of first small stones along a first perimeter and mounting them in a holder, mounting the large stone in the holder so that its center is approximately concentric with the first perimeter and so that its circumferential edge covers at least a portion of the first circumferential edges when viewed from a point, and arranging the plurality of second small stones along a second perimeter concentric with the center of the large stone and mounting them in the holder so that the second circumferential edges cover at least a portion of the circumferential edge of the large stone when viewed from the point. | 08-07-2014 |
20150020356 | PROCESS OF SETTING STONE IN JEWELLERY BY USING COMPUTER AIDED NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED SYSTEM - A process of setting stone in jewellery by using computer aided numerically controlled (CNC) system. Precious metal is cut and bent around stone using CNC machine. The process exploits capability of CNC machine by achieving gradual and consistent bending which results in minimum residual stress in precious metal and eliminates possibility of damage to stone. | 01-22-2015 |
20160139566 | SYSTEM FOR FASTENING GEMS TO A WATCH DIAL AND A WATCH PROVIDED WITH SUCH A SYSTEM FOR FASTENING GEMS - In order to make a system for fastening gems to a watch dial, the dial is made of an upper plate-shaped element and of a lower plate-shaped element facing each other, the upper plate-shaped element being provided with openings for housing the gems in a visible manner and the lower plate-shaped element being provided with openings at the openings of the upper element and having the same size as these latter. Each of the openings mutually facing by pairs extends across the thickness of the respective plate-shaped element with an own peripheral edge inclined so that each opening narrows, within the section of the respective plate-shaped element, going from the surface of the plate-shaped element facing the other plate-shaped element towards the opposite surface thereof for forming a seat for housing and retaining a gem between the two elements. | 05-19-2016 |
