Abstract
The present invention relates to a decorative piece comprising a support produced in a material which does not include plastic deformation and in which at least one hollow is provided, characterised in that said hollow being filled with a first material being an at least partially amorphous alloy forming a substrate in which at least one housing is provided, said at least one housing being designed so that at least one aesthetic element can be housed therein.
Claims48
Decorative piece comprising a support produced in a material which does not include plastic deformation and in which at least one hollow is provided, wherein said hollow being filled with a first material being an at least partially amorphous alloy forming a substrate in which at least one housing is provided, said at least one housing being designed so that at least one aesthetic element can be housed therein, said substrate comprising in addition catching means which deform in order to retain said at least one aesthetic element in said at least one housing.
Method for setting at least one aesthetic element on a support comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a support provided with at least one hollow;
- b) providing at least one aesthetic element;
- c) filling said hollow with a first, at least partially amorphous material;
- d) producing at least one housing and catching means;
- e) setting said at least one aesthetic element by placing it in said at least one hole and by deforming the catching means so as to retain it.
Method for setting at least one aesthetic element on a support comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a support provided with at least one hollow;
- b) providing at least one aesthetic element;
- c) filling said hollow with a first, at least partially amorphous material;
- d) heating said first material locally to at least its glass transition temperature;
- e) inserting said at least one aesthetic element into the first material, then cooling.
