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.
Claims17
A display for holding an item of value comprising:
- a display base,
- wherein the display base comprises a base cavity, wherein the base cavity defines a recess within the display base for receiving a specific item of value, wherein the base cavity further comprises a surface configuration that is specifically customized to receive the specific item of value, using the item of value to create the customized surface configuration, wherein said display base is created by scanning the item of value 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;
- and
- wherein said surface configuration substantially matches a surface configuration of a portion of the item of value to be displayed, such that when the item of value is received in the display base, at least a portion of the item of value is displayed above the display base.
A display for holding an item of value comprising:
- a display base,
- wherein the display base comprises a base cavity, wherein the base cavity defines a recess within the display base for receiving a specific item of value, wherein the base cavity further comprises a surface configuration that is specifically customized to receive the specific item of value, using the item of value to create the customized surface configuration, wherein said display base is created by 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;
- and
- wherein said surface configuration substantially matches a surface configuration of a portion of the item of value to be displayed, such that when the item of value is received in the display base, at least a portion of the item of value is displayed above the display base.
