Verfahren zur Befestigung eines Schmucksteines

摘要

A method of producing stone-set jewelry includes the step of forming at least one affixation-groove (15) within the stone (10) to be set in the jewelry. A stone to be set with the present method should have an upper and a lower portion which is at least substantially entirely hidden from view when the upper portion of the stone is viewed. In accordance with the present method the affixation-groove (15) should be formed in the lower portion (16) of the stone such that it too is hidden from view when the upper portion of the stone is viewed. The method also includes the deposition of a mounting material within the affixation-groove by applying a conventional casting method. Finally, any excess deposited mounting material can be removed and the stone affixed to the article of jewelry via the mounting material such that the mounting material of a completed article of jewelry is not visible when the stone is viewed from the upper portion thereof. New articles of jewelry formed from the methods of producing jewelry are also disclosed.
