Abstract
A jewelry design including a mounting made of a precious jewelry metal, a plurality of fluorescent diamonds having at least medium blue fluorescent intensity which are set in the mounting to form a message, and a plurality of non fluorescent diamonds set within the mounting adjacent the fluorescent diamonds, such that when the mounting is viewed under standard light the fluorescent diamonds are not discernable from the non fluorescent diamonds and the message is not visible, and such that when the mounting is viewed under ultraviolet light the fluorescent diamonds emit visible blue light to form and reveal the message.
Claims2
A jewelry design comprising:
- a mounting made of a precious jewelry metal;
- a plurality of fluorescent diamonds having at least medium blue fluorescent intensity, which are set in the mounting to form an alphanumeric text message;
- and
- a plurality of non fluorescent diamonds set in die mounting adjacent the alphanumeric text message to form a diamond region and to hide the alphanumeric text message when the mounting is viewed under standard light wherein the fluorescent diamonds are not discernable from the non fluorescent diamonds within the diamond region so that the message is not visible, and wherein the alphanumeric text message is visible only when the mounting is viewed under ultraviolet light wherein the fluorescent diamonds are emitting visible blue light to form and reveal the alphanumeric text message within the diamond region.
A kit for viewing a hidden alphanumeric text message in a jewelry item comprising:
- a jewelry item including a mounting made of a precious jewelry metal;
- a plurality of fluorescent diamonds having at least strong blue fluorescent intensity and which are set in the mounting to form the hidden alphanumeric text message;
- and a plurality of non fluorescent diamonds set within mounting adjacent the fluorescent diamonds, such that when the mounting is viewed under standard light the fluorescent diamonds are not discernable from the non fluorescent diamonds and the hidden alphanumeric text message is not visible, and such that only when the mounting is viewed under ultraviolet light do the fluorescent diamonds emit visible blue light to form and reveal the hidden alphanumeric text message;
- and
- a hand-held portable ultraviolet light source for viewing the mounting under ultraviolet, light to detect the hidden alphanumeric text message.
