Abstract
A jewelry stone cluster comprising four gemstone sections which are mounted in a setting and which are juxtaposed to each other. Each gemstone section includes a table facet and, in one form, a respective pair of adjacent cross facets, with the cross facets extending in planes that are at an angle to their respective table facet. Together, the four pairs of juxtaposed cross facets define an inscribed cross symbol. Preferably, the upper gemstone quadrant sections are smaller sized, so that the arms of the cross are located vertically higher. The overall shape of the gemstone cluster can be round, four sided, oval, marquis, pear, polygonal or any shape.

A jewelry stone cluster defining an item shape, the stone cluster comprising:
- a setting and a plurality of gemstone sections mounted in the setting and juxtaposed and mated to each other at joining surfaces, with each gemstone section including a table facet and respective item facets, the item facets extend in planes that are at an angle to their respective table facet, the item facets being located adjacent, abutted, and juxtaposed to each other so that they define together the item shape.
A method for forming a jewelry stone cluster defining an item shape, the method comprising the steps of:
- forming a plurality of gemstone sections, with each gemstone section including at least a table facet and a plurality of item facets, the item facets extending in planes that are at an angle to their respective table facet, such that the plurality of item facets are juxtaposed to each other and together define the item shape;
- and
