Abstract: A gem setting with a tapered basket has a width of a central gem stone plus smaller surrounding gem stones at one end. At another end, the tapered basket is narrower and the central gem stone sits there-within. The smaller gem stones cover at least some of the facets of the larger gem stone, with a continuous visual appearance between the smaller and larger gemstones making the central gem appear larger. The angle offset of the tables of the smaller stones can be equal to that one of an adjacent facet (adjacent by way of visual appearance or actual distance there-to), or an averaged angle of facets which generally face the respective smaller stone. The basket itself can have a flat base with concentric rectangular cross sections and indentations at the top for placement of stones.

Abstract: A brush includes a bundle of bristles and a clip for clipping the bristles. The clip includes a boss formed thereon. A cassette defines a space and a slot in communication with the space. The space contains the clip while the slot exposes the boss of the clip so that the boss can be moved in the slot in order to move the clip and the bundle of bristles in the cassette.

Abstract: A foldable brush includes a housing, a support seat movably mounted in the housing, a bristle unit mounted on the support seat to move therewith, a rotation member rotatably mounted on the housing and connected to the support seat to drive the support seat to move in the housing axially, and a cover mounted on the rotation member to cover the bristle unit. Thus, the brush that has a smaller volume after being folded, thereby facilitating a user carrying the brush. In addition, the housing, the rotation member and the cover form a structure having a capsule shape, thereby enhancing the aesthetic quality of the brush.
