Disclosed herein are synthetic, or cultured diamonds which have at least one artificially embedded inclusion(s) incorporated within their crystal structure during the diamond's deposition or growth process. Disclosed are cultured diamonds having a substrate portion, artificially embedded inclusion(s) disposed on the substrate portion, and an encapsulating portion, formed on the artificially embedded inclusion(s). The substrate portion and the encapsulating portion are bonded together by covalent carbon to carbon bonds.

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 protective apparatus includes a gemstone and a foreign material encapsulated and physically isolated within an interior space of the gemstone. The gemstone is one of a precious gemstone or a semi-precious gemstone or a semi-precious stone.

Articles of jewelry such as rings, pendants and earrings are provided. Each article employs a plurality of gemstones secured to a multifaceted base of precious metal. The base includes a plurality of facets with a plurality of recesses that are sized and shaped to receive the plurality of gemstones. A shank is secured to the base. The shank provides an element for direct or indirect attachment to the user such as an opening for receiving a user's finger or for receiving a chain, or a mechanism for attachment to a post. Prongs or other settings can be disposed with the plurality of recesses and configured to hold the gemstones in place within the recesses. The gemstones can have different sizes and/or different shapes. The recesses can be configured with the different sizes and/or different shapes corresponding to size and shape of the gemstones.

A decorative piece includes a support made of a material having no usable plastic deformation in which at least one hollow is arranged. The hollow is filled with a first material forming a substrate in which at least one housing is arranged. The housing is arranged so that at least one aesthetic element is housable therein. The substrate further includes a gripper elastically deforming to retain the aesthetic element in the housing. The gripper further includes at least one setting element. A method for setting an aesthetic element on a support includes taking a support provided with at least one hollow, taking at least one aesthetic element, filling the hollow with a first material, making a setting hole and a gripper in the first material, and setting the aesthetic element by placing it in the hole and by deforming the gripper so as to retain the aesthetic element.

The invention relates to a gemstone arrangement, that comprises a first gemstone element, a second gemstone element, which is connected to the first gemstone element, and at least one decorative element, which is arranged between the first gemstone element and the second gemstone element. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing the gemstone arrangement. A further aspect of the invention relates to a jewel with a gemstone arrangement.

Disclosed is a concept of indicating degrees of college scholastic achievement on a class ring, by embellishing the face of a class ring with additional indicia-sized stones seated into the main gemstone of the class ring. Especially, for example, a preferred aspect of scholastic achievement indicia includes an indicia-sized single diamond or other stone indicating achievement of a master's degree, while two stones will indicate a Ph. D doctoral level achievement.

Provided is an accessory including: jewelry in which at least one hole is provided; and at least one link member inserted in the at least one hole, the jewelry being selected from a natural gemstone, a synthetic gemstone, a laboratory-created gemstone, a simulated gemstone, a natural raw gemstone, and a natural stone.
