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.

A method for setting a central gemstone is disclosed. The central gemstone may be mounted on a triangular cone. The triangular cone maybe configured to receive a first tapered end of the central gemstone. Further the method may comprise pressing a lower plate against a top plate. The triangular cone is on the lower plate. Further lapping the central gemstone with a plurality of gemstone, mounted on the top plate, such that plurality of edges of the plurality of gemstone overlap an edge of the central gemstone at broadest diameter in horizontal plane. The method may further comprise soldering a plurality of metal bars, positioned on the periphery of the top plate, with the lower plate at a lower base.

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 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.

The invention relates to a jewelry item (10) comprising:—at least one cable (12) arranged to form a support mesh (14),—a plurality of decorative elements (16) threaded on said at least one cable (12) and shaped to structure the support mesh (14) according to a predetermined three-dimensional profile. The invention also relates to a jewelry assembly comprising at least two jewelry items (10) according to any one of the preceding claims and means for securing the support meshes together.

The present invention discloses an adorning element which comprises a base body having a front side and a rear side. At least one gem (4) is disposed in the base plate (1). In addition, a through hole (2) which receives the gem (4) is disposed in the base body for each gem (4). At least one retaining element (21) which projects into the through opening or through hole (2) and which supports the gem (4) is disposed at an end of the through hole (2) facing the front side of the base body. A holding device which holds the gem (4) in a defined position in the through hole (2) is arranged at the through opening or through hole (2) on the rear side. In addition, a method for manufacturing the adorning element according to the invention is disclosed.

A jewelry setting including a structure having an outer circumference in a round shape and setting a first set of stones, a second set of stones and a third set of stones, the first set of stones being set within the structure using a combination of prongs and a first set of mounting apertures, the second set of stones being set within the structure using a combination of the prongs and a second set of mounting apertures, the third set of stones being set within the structure using a friction setting and a third set of mounting apertures, the first set of stones, the second set of stones and the third set of stones being arranged so that the first set of stones, the second set of stones and the third set of stones appear to be a continuous, uninterrupted surface thus creating an illusion of a large stone in the round shape.

A gemstone setting that creates jewelry pieces of the same footprint at reduced cost. This disclosed gemstone composition has a brilliant, single center look. The gemstones are mounted on a base portion, said base portion is having a central cavity, said central cavity surrounded by a first set of round prong members. Said base portion comprising a first plurality of retaining cavities surrounding said central cavity, defining a second layer. Said second layer is surrounded by a second set of prong members. Said second set of prong members comprising at least one split prong.

An article of jewelry includes a first group of non-fluorescent gemstones and a first group of fluorescent diamonds. The first group of non-fluorescent gemstones and the first group of fluorescent diamonds are arranged on a mounting to form a composite image when illuminated with ambient light. The first group of non-fluorescent gemstones forms a first sub-image of the composite image and the first group of fluorescent diamonds forms a second sub-image of the composite image. Illumination of the article of jewelry with ultraviolet light, causes the first group of fluorescent diamonds to glow so that the second sub-image is visible to a human eye in an absence or substantial absence of ambient light.

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.
