A metallic mesh material used to form a portion of a band or securing strap for a wearable electronic device. The band may include a magnetic tab for securing a wearable device to the wrist of a user. The tab may include one or magnetic elements that are configured to engage a surface of the mesh to secure the wearable device to the wrist of a user.

A method for manufacturing an external component for watches or jewellery, especially a bracelet, includes the steps of: providing a substrate including a first face opposite to a second face and co-extrusion coating the first face and the second face of the substrate respectively with a first and a second band of synthetic material. The first band forms on the first face a transparent or translucent layer so that all or part of the substrate remains visible.

A piece, in particular for jewellery or timepieces, is made of a material comprising a synthetic matrix loaded with particles of a precious or semi-precious stone. The particles have a particle size d90 between 50 μm and 2 mm, preferably between 100 μm and 1 mm, and more preferably between 150 μm and 500 μm.

A method includes the selection of a jewelry blank having a chamber for receiving a gem. The chamber is partially filled with a first layer of UV resin. Cremation remains are placed within the first layer of resin or on the surface of the first layer of resin. Then, UV light is used to cure the first layer of resin. A second layer of resin partially fills the remaining void and is cured. Diamond dust may be added to the top surface of the cured second layer. A final layer of protective resin is added into the remaining space of the chamber and cured to create the finished jewelry piece.

A support frame for a sintering step of a method for producing a part, in particular for watchmaking, from a green body having an initial shape, the body shrinking from the initial shape to a final shape during the sintering step, the support frame having at least one face for supporting the body during the sintering step, wherein the geometry of the supporting face is in relief and configured to support the body from its initial shape into its final shape, so that it retains its shape and proportions in line with a shrinkage coefficient related to the sintering operation. The disclosure further relates to a sintering method using this support frame.

A device comprising: a substrate; a first coating deposited on the substrate; an intermediate coating deposited on the first coating, wherein the first coating is interposed between the substrate and the intermediate coating; and a second coating deposited on the intermediate coating, wherein the intermediate coating is interposed between the first coating and the second coating, and the second coating is outermost and black. The substrate, the first coating, the intermediate coating and the second coating define at least one of a jewelry item and a component of a jewelry item.

In an under component having a proximal end and a distal end, the under component comprising a cylindrical portion extending from the proximal end to the distal end; wherein the proximal end includes a rim that extends laterally from the cylindrical portion and that is flush with the proximal end; the rim extending from the cylindrical portion, wherein the rim includes a proximal edge and a distal edge. An over component having a proximal end and a distal end and a rim having a proximal edge and a distal edge, wherein the distal end of the under component extending to a position flush with a proximal edge of the rim of the over component, wherein the distal end of the over component extending to a position flush with a distal edge of the rim of the under component. A central component, wherein the central component is coupled to the over component, and the over component is coupled to the under component
