Abstract: Jewelry pieces, for example, earrings, pendants, rings and the like, made of metal such as gold or silver and the like, with special surface texturing to improve and enhance the light-reflecting characteristics of the jewelry. The surface texturing is formed by forming a series of grooves by the process of diamond-cutting the surface of the jewelry piece to divide the surface thereof into a plurality of adjacent, four-sided regions, each of which is bounded by four diamond-cut grooves and defines a mesa with at least four light-reflecting sloping sides. The mesas are further subdivided by forming a pair of diamond-cut grooves that criss-cross one another, thereby dividing the mesas in the four-sided regions into four sub-mesas, each having at least three sloping light reflecting sides. Preferably, first gemstones are set at the junctures of the four-sided mesas and second gemstones are set at the center, where the four sub-mesas meet.

Abstract: A prongless setting for mounting a gemstone and a method of manufacturing the same. The setting includes a base that is formed from a flat piece of metal, which is bent into the shape of a box having an open top. Two arcuate members are provided along the top edges of the box. A gemstone is placed into the open top of the box and the two arcuate members are bent over the top of the stone to retain it in the setting. Also, the method of stamping the blank that is suited for bending into the setting described above. Finally, forming a chain using a plurality of settings and gemstones that can be further incorporated into a finished piece of jewelry.

Abstract: A jewelry assembly which creates the appearance of a space between one or more diamonds or other stones and the supporting jewelry article is provided. The jewelry article is integrally formed with an internal frame for defining a window therewithin. At least one jewelry stone or gem is invisibly set with the window such that an annular space is defined between the one or more stones and the frame of the jewelry article.

Abstract: An assembly of gemstones which fit together to form a unitary shape is provided. The stones preferably make up an oval and are preferably four in number. Two of the stones are smaller than the other two. The larger stones are approximately 5/3 the size of the smaller stones.

Abstract: A multi-stone setting member has six gemstones or diamonds for attachment to a ring. The multi-stone setting member includes a rectangular-shaped housing having a first crossbar extending in a first direction; a second crossbar having first insert edges extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; a third crossbar having second insert edges and being parallel to the second crossbar and also extending in the second direction; and the first crossbar is located in a different plane than the second and third crossbars. The first, second and third crossbars form six seats each for receiving one of six gemstones or diamonds. The setting member includes a frame assembly having a front wall, a rearwall and side walls. The front and rear walls of the frame assembly each include an upper end for engaging the four outer gemstones in the first and second outer rows of gemstones to keep the four outer gemstones seated within the four outer seats of the setting member.

Abstract: A multi-stone round setting for six substantially triangular-shaped gemstones or diamonds, each having three side walls. The multi-stone round setting includes a curved corner prong assembly having six curved prong members; six side rail members connected to the six prong members to form a substantially round-shaped setting; a central support member having six connection points and six support ledges; and six radially extending spoke members connected at their outer ends to the six prong members, respectively, and connected at their inner ends to the six connection points, respectively, to form six seating areas. Each of the six seating areas are used for receiving one of six gemstones. Each of the six triangular-shaped gemstones include three side walls, three corners, and a bottom wall, respectively, and six grooves formed in the six bottom walls, respectively.
