Publication number: 20230263278Abstract: The invention relates to an article of jewelry comprising a transparent wall which forms a housing provided to receive a precious or semi-precious stone which is immersed and movable in a substantially transparent liquid in the housing and at least one piece which is movable in the liquid and which has the same refractive index as the liquid, the piece immersed in the liquid being substantially optically indiscernible. The housing is delimited by two walls the internal faces of which are preferably mutually parallel, and the stone is inserted into the piece in order to form a movable decorative element, the piece immersed in the liquid being substantially optically indiscernible and comprising an axis of revolution and two guiding surfaces which are adjacent to the internal faces, respectively, and which allow the movable decorative element to move freely in terms of translation and rotation in the liquid about the axis of revolution inside the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2021Publication date: August 24, 2023Applicant: CHOPARD TECHNOLOGIES SAInventors: Francisco DIAS, Sergio DOS SANTOS

Patent number: 10362844Abstract: A movable decorative element, intended to be freely rotated and translated between two walls (5, 6) whose inner faces are parallel to each other, at least one of which is transparent, includes a precious or semi-precious stone (2) mounted in a socket (1). The socket (1) includes a closed bottom (4) whose outer face is bulged to promote the rotation of the decorative element when this bulged outer face (7) is applied against the inner face of one of said walls, and an open outer (7) opposite to the bottom (4) which is flush with or which protrudes relative to the stone (2) to form a bearing surface against the other of said walls (5, 6) when the decorative element is disposed between the two walls.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2016Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: CHOPARD TECHNOLOGIES SAInventors: Guy Bove, Richard Hiltbrunner
