## 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.

## Claims

### Claim 1

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.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The jewelry stone cluster of claim 1, wherein the item shape is a cross symbol defined by four gemstone sections, each gemstone section comprising a pair of cross facets that extend at an angle and generally below their respective table facet.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The jewelry stone cluster of claim 2, wherein the four gemstone sections include a pair of upper gemstone quadrant sections and a pair of lower gemstone sections, and the upper gemstone sections are smaller in size than the lower gemstone sections.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The jewelry stone cluster of claim 1, wherein the gemstone cluster has an overall round shape.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The jewelry stone cluster of claim 1, wherein the gemstone cluster has an overall four-sided shape.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The jewelry stone cluster of claim 1, wherein the gemstone cluster has an overall oval shape.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The jewelry stone cluster of claim 1, wherein the gemstone cluster has an overall marquis shape.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The jewelry stone cluster of claim 1, wherein the gemstone cluster has an overall pear shape.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The jewelry stone cluster of claim 1, wherein the gemstone cluster is formed of diamonds.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The jewelry stone cluster of claim 1, wherein the gemstone cluster is formed of semi previous stones.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The jewelry stone cluster of claim 1, wherein the item shape is located generally at the center of the jewelry stone cluster.

### Claim 12

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
providing a setting and locating the gemstone sections in the setting to realize a composite gemstone arrangement with the item shape.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, further including forming four gemstone sections, with each gemstone section including a pair of item facets and juxtaposing and abutting the item facets together to form an inscribed cross.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The method of claim 13, including forming the gemstone sections to include a pair of upper gemstone sections and a pair of lower gemstone sections, and the upper gemstone sections being smaller in size than the lower gemstone sections.

### Claim 15 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, including forming the gemstone cluster to have an overall round shape.

### Claim 16 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, including forming the gemstone cluster to have a four-sided shape.

### Claim 17 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, including forming the gemstone cluster to have an overall oval shape.

### Claim 18 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, including forming the gemstone cluster to have an overall marquis shape.

### Claim 19 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, including forming the gemstone cluster to have an overall pear shape.

### Claim 20 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, including forming the item shape so that it is substantially centrally located in the stone cluster.
