The present invention relates to accessories for which small gemstones can be utilized and a method for manufacturing same. The technical gist of the present invention is to firmly fix small gemstones, which are difficult to use due to the small size thereof, to accessories (rings, bracelets, or earrings) by a simple method, and minimize the deformation of earrings due to heat by welding a wire to the earrings with laser, thereby reducing manufacturing cost and increasing completeness of products (accessories).

A mounting holds a grooved gemstone invisibly to a setting. One end of the mounting has arms or extensions to receive the gemstone and protrusions extending inwardly from the arms to fit in the grooves of the gemstone, the mounting further comprising a holding configuration for holding the mounting to the setting. Insertion of the mounting into the setting may in one version distort the holding configuration and levers the arms to press harder into the groove.

An article of jewelry including a housing that permits passage of a near field communication signal, the housing characterized as having a lower layer joined to an upper layer; a near field communication (NFC) chip housed within the housing; a gemstone covering the upper layer of the housing; and a bezel substantially surrounding the outer perimeter of the housing and on a same plane as the NFC chip, wherein the bezel is formed from a highly electrically conductive material, further wherein the bezel permits near field communication with the NFC chip.

A gemstone includes a crown, a pavilion, and a girdle disposed between the crown and the pavilion. The girdle has a pear-shaped cross-section with a rounded end a tapered end narrower than the rounded end. The surface of the gemstone is generally divided into a number of groups of interlocking facets disposed at a variety of angles. The groups of facets comprising the surface of the crown generally include star facets, upper intermediate crown facets, lower intermediate crown facets, main crown facets, and upper girdle facets. The upper girdle facets generally abut an upper edge of the girdle. The groups of facets comprising the surface of the pavilion include culet-adjacent facets, candle facets, main pavilion facets, and lower girdle facets. The lower girdle facets generally abut a lower edge of the girdle.

A round stone is intended for being inserted contiguously with other similar stones to as to conceal the setting of the stones. Facets are bevel-formed between the girdle and the pavilion. Grooves, open at the two ends thereof, are formed, as by sawing in a plane perpendicular to the axis, in the facets to receive the setting claws.

Set gemstones, gemstone settings, and methods of setting gemstones including a cut gemstone having a girdle a plurality of horizontal grooves each having an upper edge and a lower edge, wherein the upper edges of the plurality of horizontal grooves are located within the girdle, abut a lower edge of the girdle, or are within 1 millimeter beneath the lower edge of the girdle, and a cylindrical barrel having a central aperture, an open top, a rim at the top forming an upper edge of the barrel, and a plurality of flanges projecting into the central aperture of the barrel located directly beneath the rim, wherein the flanges project into the grooves to maintain the gemstone within the barrel.

A flexible method to provide a variety of value-added coatings to a piece of jewelry or a group of jewelries is disclosed. Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and Molecular Layer Deposition (MLD) technique is implemented to deposit a layer of conformal coating on intended jewelry surfaces, including both exterior and interior surfaces, to enhance a vast majority of process-driven or end of use driven properties. The coating compositions include dielectrics material, metals, organic materials or organic-inorganic hybrid materials. The method steps of forming a layer of coating are straightforward and can be tailed to different purposes.

Various magnetic dermal adhesives and magnetically attachable personalizable accessories of the present disclosure are provided comprising a load-bearing magnetic dermal adhesive incorporating magnetic particles and a magnetic personalizable accessory incorporating one or more magnetic elements exhibiting high magnetic coercivity and positioned at least at the base of the magnetic personalizable accessory enabling their interaction. These magnetically complementary products provide a convenient way for reversibly attaching/detaching/interchanging various magnetic personalizable accessories to interact with consumers' skin so that they can be (a) “re-useable” saving money, time, and resources; (b) can be arranged in various ways (worn singly or grouped together in an infinite number of unique arrangements); (c) can provide a broad range of options for creative self-expression/personal style; (d) can be interchangeably attached to achieve multiple variations; (e) can be conveniently swapped/exchanged from one user to another (f) can be stacked or superimposed together into various creative arrangements; (g) can be utilized for enhancing the experience of various personal and professional situations; and many more benefits that can be uniquely crafted by each consumer according to his/her particular performance requirements.

A patterned diamond and methods of making such patterned diamond are disclosed. The patterned diamond may include: a single crystal diamond or a polycrystal diamond; and a metallic pattern embedded in the single crystal diamond or the polycrystal diamond such that, the single crystal diamond or the polycrystal diamond encapsulates the metallic pattern from at least 4 sides. The disclosed method may include providing a first portion of a single crystal diamond or a polycrystal diamond; introducing a metallic pattern to at least one surface of the first portion of the single crystal or a first portion of the polycrystal diamond; and growing, using a CVD process or HTHP process, a second portion of the single crystal diamond or the second portion of the polycrystal diamond on the first portion, such that the single crystal diamond or the polycrystal diamond at least partially encapsulates the metallic pattern.
