Abstract
A stone for suspending from an article of jewelry, the stone having a crown, a pavilion, a table, a girdle, and a culet. The improvement includes a throughbore extending from the crown to the pavilion of the stone allowing the stone to have improved structural integrity and to have improved luster by virtue of reducing refraction, reflection, and dispersion errors, and when suspended by the throughbore from the article of jewelry, by virtue of eliminating visually obstructive conventional settings, has improved scintillation, improved visibility, and gives an impression that it is floating in air or dancing relative to the article of jewelry.
Claims54
A stone for suspending from an article of jewelry, the stone having a crown, a pavilion, a table, a girdle, and a culet, wherein the improvement comprises:
- a throughbore extending from the crown to the pavilion allowing the stone to have improved structural integrity and to have improved luster by virtue of reducing refraction, reflection, and dispersion errors, and when suspended by the throughbore from the article of jewelry, by virtue of eliminating visually obstructive conventional settings, has improved scintillation, improved visibility, and gives an impression that it is floating in air relative to the article of jewelry.
A stone for suspending from an article of jewelry, comprising:
- a plurality of faces;
- wherein a pair of faces have a throughbore extending therethrough;
- and
- wherein said throughbore is so disposed so as to allow the stone to have improved structural integrity and to have improved luster by virtue of reducing refraction, reflection, and dispersion errors, and when suspended by the throughbore from the article of jewelry, by virtue of eliminating visually obstructive conventional settings, has improved scintillation, improved visibility, and gives an impression that it is floating in air relative to the article of jewelry.
A stone for suspending from an article of jewelry, comprising:
- a crown;
- a pavilion;
- a table;
- a girdle;
- and
- a culet;
- wherein said crown has a throughbore extending therefrom to said pavilion allowing said stone to have improved structural integrity and to have improved luster by virtue of reducing refraction, reflection, and dispersion errors, and when suspended by said throughbore from the article of jewelry, by virtue of eliminating visually obstructive conventional settings, has improved scintillation, improved visibility, and gives an impression that it is floating in air relative to the article of jewelry.
A method of preparing a stone for suspending from an article of jewelry, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing the stone with a crown, a pavilion, a table, a girdle, and a culet so as to form a cut stone;
- and
- b) providing a throughbore through the cut stone, from the crown of the cut stone to the pavilion of the cut stone, so as to form a throughbore-provided stone having improved structural integrity and having improved luster by virtue of reducing refraction, reflection, and dispersion errors, and when suspended by the throughbore from the article of jewelry, by virtue of eliminating visually obstructive conventional settings, has improved scintillation, improved visibility, and gives an impression that it is floating in air relative to the article of jewelry.
A stone comprising:
- a crown, a pavilion, a table, a girdle and a culet;
- a throughbore from the crown to the pavilion, wherein the stone is enabled to be set in an article of jewelry using the throughbore.
An article of jewelry comprising:
- a stone having a crown, a pavilion, a table, a girdle and a culet, the stone including a throughbore from the crown to the pavilion;
- and
- a setting device which is passed through the throughbore to set the stone, enabling the stone to have freedom of movement in relation to the article of jewelry.
A method for making a stone with a throughbore, the stone having a crown, a pavilion, a table, a girdle and a culet, the method comprising:
- laser-drilling the throughbore in the stone from the crown to the pavilion.
A method for setting a stone having a crown, a pavilion, a table, a girdle and a culet, the method comprising:
- passing a loop through a throughbore in the stone, the throughbore being from the crown to the pavilion, to set the stone.
A stone comprising:
- a crown, a pavilion, a table, a girdle and a culet;
- and
- a throughbore from the crown to the pavilion to improve freedom of movement and scintillation, and minimize obstruction, when the stone is set in an article of jewelry.
