Abstract
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.
