Methods of temporarily enhancing the luster and/or brilliance of a piece of jewelry, a gem stone, or a piece of jewelry including a gem stone including applying a non-aqueous composition to the piece of jewelry, the gem stone, or the piece of jewelry including a gem stone.

The present invention relates to a health artificial pearl and a manufacturing method therefor and, more specifically, to: a health artificial pearl formed by spray-drying and pressure-firing a functional mineral that emits anions and radiates far infrared rays, so as to form a core with high compressive strength, and by coating the surface of the core with an artificial pearl composition, which is nontoxic to the human body; and a manufacturing method therefor. The method for manufacturing a health artificial pearl comprises: (S100) a material pretreatment step of wet-grinding a functional mineral that emits anions and radiates far infrared rays so as to form a wet-ground solution, and spray drying the wet-ground solution so as to prepare a powder for press forming; (S200) a press forming step of injecting, into a press forming apparatus, the powder for press forming so as to form a core, and high-temperature-firing the core; (S300) a core polishing step of polishing the high-temperature-fired core; and (S400) a coating step of coating the polished core with an artificial pearl composition.

The present invention concerns a toy bead (10, 100) comprising: two conjugated parts (11, 12; 110, 120), each part comprising a proximal end and a distal end; proximal ends of said conjugated parts comprising conjugated screwing means (11a, 12a; 110a, 120a) adapted to screw conjugated parts to each other in order to build the bead; distal ends of said conjugated parts comprising plugging means (17, 18; 170, 180), either male or female, adapted to plug said parts respectively to parts of other similar toy beads comprising corresponding plugging means; each conjugated part further comprising an internal canal (15, 16; 150, 160) extending from its proximal end to its distal end and opening to each end, the internal canal of one part being collinear to the internal canal of the its conjugated part when the conjugated parts are screwed to each other, so that a yarn can be threaded successively into internal canals of said conjugated parts.

A device comprising: (a) a body portion including: (i) a first end and ii. a second end; (b) a holder at the first end; (c) a holder at the second end; (d) a rotation device at the first end in communication with the holder at the first end; and wherein the holder is fixedly attached to a split gear having a channel therethrough so that one or more flexible mediums may be placed through the channel and removed from a work area located between the holder at the first end and the holder at the second end.

The present invention concerns, a toy bead (10, 100) comprising: two conjugated parts(11, 12; 110, 120), each part comprising a proximal end and a distal end; proximal ends of said conjugated parts comprising conjugated screwing means (11a, 12a; 110a, 120a) adapted to screw conjugated parts to each other in order to build the bead; distal ends of said conjugated parts comprising plugging means (17, 18; 170, 180), either male or female, adapted to plug said parts respectively to parts of other similar toy beads comprising corresponding plugging means; each conjugated part further comprising an internal canal (15, 16; 150, 160) extending from its proximal end to its distal end and opening to each end, the internal canal of one part being collinear to the internal canal of the its conjugated part when the conjugated parts are screwed to each other, so that a yarn can be threaded successively into internal canals of said conjugated parts.

The invention relates to a decorative element comprising an elongate support body and a multitude of, in particular faceted, gemstones on an adhesive layer on the support body, wherein a minimum position and a maximum position exist for each of the gemstones.

Rings disclosed herein include a toroid formed of an expandable polymer, the expandable polymer having an elastic modulus of no greater than 5 gigapascals (GPa), the expandable polymer forming at least 80 weight percent of the toroid, the toroid sized to fit snugly over a digit of a user. In implementations a plurality of precious material particles are disposed within the expandable polymer, wherein the precious material particles include one or more of gold particles, non-ionic silver particles, copper particles, platinum particles, and crushed pearl particles. In implementations a plurality of grooves are formed on an inner surface of the ring and extend from proximate a top of the ring to proximate a bottom of the ring. In implementations no portion of the ring has an elastic modulus greater than 5 GPa.

A method for producing jewelry from human milk and an epoxy resin involving mixing human milk with a transparent epoxy resin, placing it in the mold and allowing it to harden, in which an epoxy resin and an amine hardener are used, wherein a quantity of cysteine and/or serine equal to at least 0.1 percent by weight of the milk is first added to human milk and the resulting mixture is introduced into the mixture of an epoxy resin with an amine hardener in an amount between 0.1 percent and 40 percent by volume of the mixture of an epoxy resin and a hardener.

A method of fabrication of a wristband of a watch or piece of jewelry, including: providing a first synthetic material; providing an extrusion line with a die plate for making an extrudate from the first material; providing one or more additional materials distinguished in their properties from the first material; providing a die plate including a first zone defining a profile allowing for fabrication of an extrudate having a hollow tubular profile at least at one of its ends in which the extrudate has a width corresponding to the length of one or two strands of the wristband; the die plate further includes a second zone allowing defining of particular profiles selected from among a flat profile, a curved profile, or a profile with projecting zones.

An elastomer material for a wristband or components for horology configured to be in contact with skin, the elastomer material including a moisture wicking mechanism. The wicking mechanism includes hydrophilic microfibres capable of wicking away and neutralizing moisture through the material.
