Abstract: A sliding-type faster for accessary chain has a hollow sphere having a pair of through holes, an elastic disk having a hole provided in the hollow sphere, and an accessary chain that slides into the through hole of the elastic disk. The outer diameter of the elastic disk for inserting the accessory chain is smaller than the inner diameter of the hollow sphere so that the outer surface of the elastic disk does not press tightly against the inner wall surface of the hollow sphere. Material such as polyurethane having high elasticity can be used for the elastic disk. The elastic disk can easily be installed in the hollow sphere by pressing or rolling it into a ball. Because of its increased thickness, the elastic disk will not slip out from the hollow sphere and achieve a long life.

Abstract: A body piercing jewelry substitute 10 includes a body 20 having an internal cavity 30. A rim 22 frames the opening 23 to the internal cavity. The rim is positioned on a damp body surface, such as moistened skin or the user's tongue. By creating an area 500 of reduced pressure around the body 20, air is removed from the internal cavity 30, lowering the pressure within the body 20. Where the body piercing jewelry substitute is applied to the tongue, the area of reduced pressure may be created by sucking orally. Where the body piercing jewelry substitute is located on the cheek for example, the reduced pressure may be created by use of a suction cup. When pressure is restored to normal levels around the body, the rim adheres to the damp body surface due to the partial vacuum within the internal cavity. The body piercing jewelry substitute may then moved to a different location by sliding it on the damp body surface.

The control instructions are executed by the milling machine and the result is that a replica of the scanned picture or drawing is milled into a piece of precious metal that is held by the machine. The piece of precious metal with the replicated image can be adapted to be worn as a pendant, a charm, earrings or as other types of jewelry. The method can be used to turn a whimsical piece of “refrigerator art” into a long lasting and treasured piece of “refrigerator art jewelry”, for example. Coloring agents can optionally be applied to milled areas of the metal to reproduce color drawings or pictures.

Abstract: The invention is a method for making a reverse intaglio decorative or jewelry item and the product made by the method. Any suitable graphical image is scanned into digital memory. The image is changed from two-dimensional to three-dimensional by adding contour to the original image using appropriate graphics software. The contour is scaled for the production of first and second slightly different sizes. Both sized images are converted to a computer numeric control dataset for controlling a milling machine, which cuts the first contour into the underside of a cabochon of stone or crystal and the second contour into a die stamp tool. An insert is die-stamped into metal, said insert having a convex surface that matches the contour of the first contour milled into the cabochon. The insert is painted and mounted into the cabochon to form the reverse intaglio. Suitable inserts may also be produced by molding and casting rather than machining methods.

Abstract: An improved method of constructing jewelry and other ornamental items in which the wall construction is significantly reduced due to internal envelopes or packets of pressurized gas. The packets of pressurized gas provide structural support for the surrounding walls permitting the walls to be thinner than the prior art. Manufacture of the jewelry is accomplished by creating the envelopes and sealing them either in raised pressure environment or later. Pressurization of an envelope is accomplished through different methodologies including: the insertion of a needle through the envelope's wall, pressurization of the interior of the envelope, removal of the needle, and then sealing of the hole created by the needle; through the use of pressurized spheres which are placed within the envelope during manufacture and then rupturing of the pressurized spheres after the envelope has been sealed; or using and then sealing a channel for pressurizing the internal envelope.
