Abstract: A watch constructed from a plurality of link members. Each link member including a plurality of holes in one side and a plurality of corresponding pins in the other side. The link members are fastened together by insertion of the pin members from one link into the hole of the corresponding adjacent link after which the pin members are crimped backwards over the adjacent member thereby fastening the two links together. The top surface of each link member has a radius of curvature whereby gems, invisibly mounted in the link member, will exhibit increased sparkle. When fully assembled, the gems mounted in the link members will be aligned in a linear fashion. These linear rows of gems are continued across the face of the watch thereby presenting a coherent and aesthetically pleasing watch. To the bottom of each link member is fastened a bottom plate. When fully assembled and worn by a user, the bottom plates of each of the link members provide a continuous and smooth surface against the wrist of the user.

Abstract: A setting for diamonds in a jewelry piece includes an annular groove defined by upstanding, spaced walls and a base. The groove is bordered by two upstanding rims and diamonds are placed in the groove in a row in abutting relationship. The diamonds are supported on ledges that are formed between the walls and the rims, on sharp pointed edges which comprise a small amount of yielding gold material to allow the diamonds to be precisely aligned height-wise relative to one another. The rims are overturned on the peripheries, i.e. crowns of the diamonds to clamp the diamonds in the groove.
