Composite Wearables and Related Methods
A composite wearable includes a first toroid, substantially formed of a first material and having a recess, and a second toroid substantially formed of a second material. The recess is sized and shaped to at least partially receive the second toroid in a manually-removable friction fit such that the second toroid may be manually interchanged with another second toroid, or the first toroid may be manually interchanged with another first toroid, to adjust a configuration of the composite wearable. One of the toroids may be formed of a substantially rigid material and the other may be formed of a substantially flexible material. The recess may be at least partly defined by two inner sidewalls of the first toroid, each inner sidewall having a surface perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the first toroid. The second toroid may be configured to fully fill the recess leaving no air pocket.
JEWELRY AND METHODS OF FORMING THE SAME FROM MULTIPLE COMPONENTS
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
ORNAMENT ASSEMBLY WITH SUSPENSION EFFECT
An ornament assembly with a suspension effect, including a base having a bottom frame and a transparent bottom cover, the transparent bottom cover being fixed on the bottom frame; a top frame fit combined with the base to form an integral body, wherein a transparent top cover is fixed on the top frame and the top cover is fit with the transparent bottom cover to form a holding space; a first magnetic member provided on the base; and an ornament, wherein a second magnetic member is provided on the ornament. The ornament is provided in the holding space and magnetic poles of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are oppositely arranged such that the ornament is suspended in the holding space under the repulsive force of magnetic forces.
Subtractive manufacturing of an oversized MIM blank
Each type of metal component part for two or more watch designs can be derived from instances of that corresponding type of MIM blank for that component part, which is formed from a same injection molding tool (respectively for each type of component part). An example instance of the MIM blank formed for a type of component part then has at least a portion of the instance of the MIM blank subtracted through a CNC milling process to form an interim shape and geometry of an instance of the type of component part for a given watch design. The CNC milling process can be applied to the MIM blank for that component part when the MIM blank is in its interim shape and geometry and has not yet been hardened to a finished shape and geometry of an instance of that type of component part for the watch design.
MULTI-COATED METALLIC PRODUCTS AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME
The present invention relates generally to a coated jewelry article or a coated component of a jewelry article, comprising a jewelry article or a component of a jewelry article, a first metallic coating, and a second metallic coating.
JEWELRY HAVING DRUZY OR GEODE EFFECT AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE
A method of manufacturing an article of jewelry with a druzy or geode effect, the method including: forming an adhesion mixture by mixing metal particles with a silica, shell, and/or clay with polymer, optionally in a liquid to form an adhesion paste; applying the adhesion mixture to an article of jewelry; applying a plurality of gemstones to the applied adhesion mixture to form a gemstone layer; melting the adhesion mixture without significantly melting the article of jewelry; and cooling the adhesion mixture to bond the gemstone layer to the article of jewelry.
Multi-coated metallic products and methods of making the same
The present invention relates generally to a coated jewelry article or a coated component of a jewelry article, comprising a jewelry article or a component of a jewelry article, a first metallic coating, and a second metallic coating.
Method of Forming Rings from Beading Wire Using Grooved Ring Forming Mandrel
A graduated polymeric ring forming mandrel and a method of forming a ring from beading wire are provided. The mandrel has a plurality of longitudinal grooves and a plurality of segments with diameters corresponding to ring sizes. The segments correspond to at least ring sizes 4 through 16 (North American sizing). The mandrel length is about 6 to 15 inches. The grooves are at least about 0.010 inches deep. The mandrel material is selected from an engineering resin or a compatible resin mixture. The ring forming method includes wrapping wire with beads/findings around a mandrel segment producing a helical preform, adding findings to each succeeding wrap, and stabilizing the appearance by joining the ends by knotting or use of a finding, moving the preform to another mandrel section with grooving or a smaller diameter, and either applying a finding or toroidally wrapping additional wire around the wire.
MILANESE BAND
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.
Precious metal clay regeneration solution and method for regenerating precious metal clay
A precious metal clay regeneration solution contains water and a liquid paraffin, in which an amount of the liquid paraffin is more than or equal to 0.12 parts by mass and less than or equal to 60 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the water. A method for regenerating precious metal clay includes a step of bringing water and a liquid paraffin into contact with a solidified precious metal clay, in which an amount of the liquid paraffin is more than or equal to 0.12 parts by mass and less than or equal to 60 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the water.
