Abstract
A “Tennis” type wearable jewel (1) comprising a base piece (2) made of metallic material and composed of a plurality of shaped bezels (3), each of which presents a housing seat (4) facing outwards, and a plurality of ornamental elements (5) remaining in sight, each of which firmly coupled with retention means (6) with one of the shaped bezels (3) at the related housing seat (4). In particular, at least one of the ornamental elements comprises a laminar plate (7) made of metallic material, covering at least partially the housing seat (4) of at least one of the shaped bezels (3).
Claims14
“Tennis” type wearable jewel (1) comprising:
- at least one base piece (2) made of metallic material and composed of one or more shaped bezels (3), each of which presents a housing seat (4) facing outwards;
- one or more ornamental elements (5) remaining in sight, each of which firmly coupled with retention means (6) with one of said shaped bezels (3) at said housing seat (4),
- characterized in that at least one of said ornamental elements comprises a laminar plate (7) made of metallic material, covering at least partially said housing seat (4) defined in each of said shaped bezels (3).
Jewel (1) as any of the previous claims characterized in that said laminar plate (7) is contained in the overall dimensions defined by each of said shaped bezels (3) with which is firmly coupled, being provided with an outer edge (7b) substantially coplanar with the outer wall (3b) of each of said shaped bezels (3) with which is coupled.
Jewel (1) as any of the previous claims characterized in that said laminar plate (7) presents a thickness of value in the range 0.05÷1 mm.
Jewel (1) as any of the previous claims characterized in that said retention means (6) include a plurality of folding jaws (8), monolithic to each of said shaped bezels (3) and protruding upwardly from said shaped bezels (3), placed at least partially close to the upper face (7c) of said laminar plate (7).
Process for the production of a “tennis” type wearable jewel (1) comprising the following steps:
- preparing at least one base piece (2) made of metallic material and composed of one or more shaped bezels (3), each of which presents a housing seat (4) facing outwards;
- firmly coupling one or more ornamental elements (5) with said shaped bezels (3) at said housing seat (4) in such a way as said ornamental elements (5) remain in sight,
- characterized in that at least one phase of said operation of coupling said ornamental elements (5) with said shaped bezels (3) consists in conveying a laminar plate (7) made of metallic material close to the perimetric edge (3a) of at least one of said shaped bezels (3) placing it at partial covering of said housing seat (4).
Process as any of the claims from 10) to 12) characterized in that said operation of firmly coupling said ornamental elements (5) with said shaped bezels (3) consists in bending a plurality of folding jaws (8) close to the upper face (7c, 13c) of said ornamental elements (5), performed by a pressing tool (16) provided above said base piece (2) and downstream said shaping punch (15).
