Abstract
A modular element for making jewellery items, trinkets, and the like, having a convex outer surface and a through hole arranged at the top of the outer surface, where a wire, chain, or support for making the jewellery item, trinket, and the like can be inserted through the through hole, a main axis of symmetry passing through the hole, including a concave inner surface intended to at least partially accommodate the outer surface of a second element adjacent to the first one, where the outer surface can be inscribed on a rotation surface whose generatrix is an arc of a conic section and whose axis of rotation coincides with the main axis of symmetry. Embodiments also include a jewelry item.
Claims10
A modular element for making jewellery items, trinkets, and the like, comprising
- a convex outer surface,
- a through hole arranged at the top of said outer surface, through which a wire, chain, or support for making said jewellery item, trinket, and the like, can be inserted,
- a main axis of symmetry passing through the hole,
- a concave inner surface configured to at least partially accommodate the outer surface of a second element adjacent to the first one,
- wherein the outer surface is configured to be inscribed in a rotation surface whose generatrix is an arc of a conic section and whose axis of rotation coincides with said main axis of symmetry, and
- the through hole presents two openings:
- a major opening to allow at least partial insertion of the successive element and of the string for connecting the elements, and a minor opening where the string is configured to pass, and said major opening has a cross section that is smaller than the maximum cross section of the external surface of the element itself.
