GEMSTONE RING APPARATUS
A gemstone ring apparatus comprising: a hoop portion having a first end portion and a second end portion; a bezel portion having a topside, a bottom side, a left end and a right end; a first shoulder portion between a first end portion of the hoop portion and a left end of the bezel portion; a second shoulder portion between a second end portion of the hoop portion and a right end of the bezel portion; a gemstone setting in communication with the topside of the bezel portion; and a basket portion attached to the bottom side of the bezel portion between the first shoulder portion and the second shoulder portion.
The present invention relates generally to jewelry and a ring that may accommodate a range of ring finger sizes, but remains secure on the finger.
2—Description of Related ArtUsually, art rings are generally purchased in a specific size that does not change or accommodate for any changes in the wearer's ring finger size. The size of the wearer's ring finger may vary widely with the changing climate. For example, they may be retaining water or have gained or lost weight due to which the ring does not fit well. In such situations, it would be desirable for such wearers to have a ring that can accommodate such size fluctuations, while resisting turning on the finger on the wearer.
3—Summary of the InventionAspects of the present invention provide a gemstone ring apparatus that accommodates the fluctuations of the wearer's ring figure sizes.
One aspect of the present invention provides, a gemstone ring apparatus comprising: a hoop portion having a first end portion and a second end portion; a bezel portion having a topside, a bottom side, a left end and a right end; a first shoulder portion between a first end portion of the hoop portion and a left end of the bezel portion; a second shoulder portion between a second end portion of the hoop portion and a right end of the bezel portion; a gemstone setting in communication with the topside of the bezel portion; and a basket portion attached to the bottom side of the bezel portion between the first shoulder portion and the second shoulder portion.
Another aspect of the present invention provides, a gemstone ring apparatus comprising: a hoop portion having a first end portion and a second end portion; a bezel portion having a topside, a bottom side, a left end and a right end; a first shoulder portion between a first end portion of the hoop portion and a left end of the bezel portion; a second shoulder portion between a second end portion of the hoop portion and a right end of the bezel portion; a gemstone setting in communication with the topside of the bezel portion; and a basket portion attached to at least a portion of at least one of the bottom side of the bezel portion, the first shoulder portion and the second shoulder portion, wherein the basket portion is between the first shoulder portion and the second shoulder portion.
The gemstone ring apparatus of the present invention, improves the experience of wearing a gemstone ring by allowing the wearer to have a range of sizes that they may comfortably wear, while resisting turning of the ring.
The first shoulder portion (18) and the second shoulder portion (20) are substantially straight along an outer side portion (204) and slightly curved along an inner side portion (202). The first shoulder portion (18) tapers towards the left end (26) of the bezel portion and the second shoulder portion (20) tapers towards the right end (28) of the bezel portion.
The first shoulder portion (18) may be wider at a section that is in communication with the first end portion (14) of the hoop portion (12) and narrower at a section that is in communication with the left end (26) of the bezel portion; and the second shoulder portion (20) is wider at a section that is in communication with the second end portion (16) of the hoop portion (12) and narrower at a section that is in communication with the right end (28) of the bezel portion.
The basket portion (32) may be attached to at least a portion of at least one of the bottom side (24) of the bezel portion, the first shoulder portion (18) and the second shoulder portion (20), wherein the basket portion is between the first shoulder portion (18) and the second shoulder portion (20). For example, as shown in
As shown in
The basket portion is shaped like a basket with at least four attachment points (100, 102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116, 118, 120, 122, 124, 126, 128, 130, 132, 134, 136, 138, 140, 142, 144, 146, 148, 150, 152 154, 156, 158, 160, 162, 164, 166, 168, 170, 172, 174, 176, 178, 180), the at least four attachment points being attached to the bottom side (24) of the bezel portion and optionally a portion of the first shoulder portion (18) and the second shoulder portion (20).
According to a preferred embodiment, the basket portion is shaped like a basket with six attachment points. This provides a solid attachment of the basket portion, a comfortable fit and allows light to flow through (which is important for gemstone settings to make the gem sparkle).
