Method For Setting Precious Stones and Ornament Made Thereof
Abstract
This technique includes setting of 13 round cut stones forming a
flower shape cluster, by setting the all 13 stones at three
different levels. In these 13 stones there are 3 different
categories of sizes: bigger, medium, and smaller, the bigger size
contains 1 stone, the medium size contains 6 stones and the small
size contains 6 stones. In the medium and small size category, the
stone size is defined by a specific ratio to size category. This
technique of setting cluster has three different height levels in
which big, medium and small size stones are set. This entire
construction of 6 small, 6 medium and 1 big round stone to create a
cluster with complete diamond look, there is no negative gap seen
in between the two stone and no metal is visible from the seat.
This cluster creates an illusion of one complete flower shape
diamond.

Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims priority to Indian Application No.
2794/MUM/2015 which was filed on Jul. 23, 2015 and Indian
Application No. ______ which was filed on Feb. 26, 2016 both of
which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
FIELD OF INVENTION
[0002] This invention relates to setting of stone in jewellery
making. More particularly this invention relates to technique of
setting of 13 stones forming a flower shaped cluster by using nick
and prong set method.
[0003] The drawbacks in the existing or prior arts are as provided
below: [0004] The air-gaps were visible in the centre, around the
centre stone in the prior arts; to fill the gaps there was the need
to add prongs, making the look in the centre metallic. [0005] Due
to the addition of diamonds, however small, the brilliance of the
stones, because of the setting is enhanced. The diamond refraction
makes the look more diamond intensive as opposed to its
predecessors where the centre was more metallic. [0006] This
setting is made of 13 stones, that creates a flower where the
prongs being inset into the silhouette of the setting, making it
clean and better defined as a flower and unlike its ancestors of
pressure setting.
[0007] The advantages of the instant invention is as provided
below: [0008] Clean look [0009] Less metallic [0010] More flash
[0011] More perceived value [0012] Pocket friendly, due to the size
of the centre stone used [0013] The setting is done to create a
distinct design that emulates an illusion of a diamond cut into a
flower. [0014] It is an evergreen and classic shape that can easily
blend in all designs, all market segments. [0015] It breaks away
from the round composites we've been seeing for years and brings in
the fresh shape of a flower.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0016] This invention is a original and unique technique of setting
13 round precious stone with three different sizes, each size has a
specific ratio of size to the biggest size in order to create a
beautiful looking flower shape cluster, this technique do not allow
to form any negative gap between two round stone.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0046] In the first step Cluster of any precious metal is made as
shown in FIGS. 1 through 6. The mounting is made by casting or
machining process of any precious metal, it has three different
levels for steps shown as 1, 2, 3, in FIG. 3. Level 3 is at the
lowest step and small size stones are set at this level, level 2 is
at middle and biggest stone is set at this level, level 1 is at the
top and medium size stones are set at his level.
[0047] At first step the stone 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 of small size
stone of 0.8 mm are set in at level 3 and secured with nick grooves
raised from the surface of the metal, as shown in FIGS. 7 through
12.
[0048] In second step stone 13 is set at level 2 that is bigger
stone 13 of size 2.5 mm. is secured by making grooves from the nick
surface of the metal, as shown in FIGS. 13 through 18, and in
particular, by cross-sectional view 4 in FIG. 18.
[0049] In third step stone 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 is set at level 1
that is medium stone of size 1.8 mm is secured by shared prongs 23,
24, 25, 26, 27, 28 between two stones as shown in FIGS. 19 through
24, and in particular, by cross-sectional view 15 in FIG. 23, which
shows small stones 7, 8, 9 sharing prongs with medium stones 18,
19, and 20.
[0050] FIGS. 25 through 28 show all the stones set as per the above
steps and forming a beautiful flower shape cluster. These flower
shape closed can be created with any size of stones in round shape,
but the total number of stones must be 13 and must be categorized
in three sizes small, medium, large. These sizes always have the
ratio in the 1:0.72:0.32.
[0051] For above example we have used the stone size of 2.5 mm, 1.8
mm, 0.8 mm for bigger, medium and smaller sizes respectively.
[0052] FIG. 29 shows a rear view of the flower-shaped cluster,
opposite FIG. 25, to illustrate that the metal of the mounting is
pulled over the stone in the nick setting at sides 29 and 30 and
the adjacent prong is holding the stone from a third side.
[0053] The present invention is not limited to the above-described
embodiments, and various alterations, modifications, and/or
alternative applications of the invention may be possible, if
desired, without departing from the scope and sprit of the
invention, which can be read from the entire specification. all
these possible alterations, modifications, and/or alternative
applications of the invention are also intended to be within
technical scope of the present invention.
[0054] This technique includes setting of 13 round cut stones
forming a flower shape cluster, by setting the all 13 stones at
three different levels. In these 13 stones there are 3 different
categories of sizes bigger size, medium size, smaller size, the
bigger size contains 1 stone, the medium size contains 6 stones and
the small size contains 6 stones. In the medium and small size
category the stone size is defined by a specific ratio to size of
bigger size category.
[0055] This technique of setting cluster has three different height
levels in which big size, medium size and small size stones are
set, the bottom most level has the small stones set on the surface
of the wall and fixed with a nick groove engraved from the base
metal surface to secure the stone.
[0056] The next level that is middle level, this starts little
above the small size stone, at this level the bigger size stone is
placed above the small size stones so that the girdles of the big
size stone are touching the surface of the metal and table is
raised above the top of small size stone. This stone is again
secured with the nick groove engraved from the base metal surface
to secure the stone.
[0057] The third and top most level contains the medium size
stones. The 6 stone are set at the top most layer of the cluster
and set with one prong shared between two stones securely to form
prong setting. This entire construction of 6 small, 6 medium and 1
big round stone to create a beautiful looking cluster with complete
diamond look, there is no negative gap seen in between the two
stone and no metal is visible from the seat. This cluster creates
an illusion of one complete flower shape diamond.
