Abstract
The present invention is directed to a novel method for creating a display for a valuable item. On one example, the method includes the steps of selecting an item to be display, selecting a base material to create a display, creating a three dimensional map of the item to be displayed, and milling the base using an instruction program to create a cavity within the base that is configured and adapted to receive the valuable item. The present invention is also directed to a novel base display for displaying an item of value.
Claims16
A method of creating a base display comprising:
- selecting a three-dimensional item of value to be displayed;
- selecting a base material to create a base;
- scanning the item to be displayed to obtain geometric data corresponding to the item;
- creating an instruction program corresponding to the geometric data of the item;
- and
- milling the base using the instruction program to create a base cavity within the base material configured and adapted to receive the item, wherein the base cavity has a surface configuration that substantially matches a surface configuration of the item of value to be displayed, providing a base cavity having a surface configuration that is customized to receive the item of value, such that at least a portion of the item is above the base.
A method of creating a base display comprising:
- selecting an item of value to be displayed;
- creating a cavity with the item in an impression tray;
- scanning the cavity with a scanner to obtain a data file;
- creating program instructions using the data file;
- and
- milling a base to create a base cavity using the program instructions, wherein said base cavity is configured and adapted to receive the selected item, wherein the base cavity has a surface configuration that substantially matches a surface configuration of the item of value to be displayed, providing a base cavity having a surface configuration that is customized to receive the item of value, such that at least a portion of the item is above the base.
