JOOLZ
Abstract
Previously in the art of personal jewelry ornamentation,
consumers were limited to ornamenting themselves with
three-dimensional precious or imitation metal or gemstones. JOOLZ
enables the consumer to display the effect of three-dimensional
jewelry with printed images that have been cut, laminated, trimmed,
and affixed with appropriate utilitarian jewelry hardware. The
technical innovation is the creation of an illusionary image with a
printed and laminated design, manifesting its appearance to the
viewer as three-dimensional jewelry.

Claims
1. What I claim as my invention is the graphic replication of
unique jewelry designs that are printed and laminated. The idea of
creating a one-dimensional image as though it is a three
dimensional piece of jewelry is what JOOLZ embodies.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The invention pertains to personal ornamentation.
Previously, consumers desiring fabulous jewelry could wear
three-dimensional pieces that were comprised of precious metals
and/or gems, or they had the option of wearing jewelry comprised of
imitation metals and/or gems. Unfortunately, some consumers are
unable to afford the type of jewelry that they would like to wear.
Even the imitation metals and gems used in costume jewelry have a
high cost due to the labor-intensive nature of production of said
items. In addition, the physical production and time expended in
the retrieval or creation of gems from natural sources or through
scientific means keeps the cost of both costume and precious
jewelry out of the budget of most consumers.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The intention of JOOLZ is to replicate fine and costume
jewelry in a faux image that fools the eye. JOOLZ is the creation
of a graphic replication of ornamentation that is apparently as
unique and precious as the three-dimensional originals. The
invention is faux jewelry, utilizing replications of unique jewelry
designs that are printed and laminated. JOOLZ enables the look of
gems without the ensuing costs of wearing precious or costume
jewelry. JOOLZ replicates ornamentation, as it is known, making it
accessible to everyone.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0015] The invention is faux jewelry, produced as follows: There
are no size limitations to the pieces. Jewelry designs are created
utilizing various artistic technologies (computer
images-photography-graphic hand rendering-fine art, etc.) The
designs are then printed. The printed image is then precisely cut
to exact design specifications. Once this process is complete, the
cut piece is laminated. The laminated pieces are then cut.
Depending on the particular utility of each jewelry piece, the
correct fitting is affixed to the back of the item, i.e. an earring
post is placed on earring pieces, or a pin post is affixed to a pin
piece.
