Abstract
This invention relates to the use of real natural objects as items of ornamentation for jewelry and for decoration. This invention represents an improvement of a process for encapsulating fragile objects found in nature within plastic resins, attached to a jewelry finding of precious or semi-precious material, and to be used as an item of jewelry or of personal or home decoration.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. 1' field of the Invention:
The present invention relates to novel methods of producing articles of jewelry or ornamental decoration that include real natural objects, and the articles produced thereby.
More specifically, the present invention relates to methods of producing articles of jewelry and suncatchers using real plant parts (including, but not exclusive to: petals, flowers, fruits, grains, and leaves); using feathers from domesticated birds;
and using various insects and arachnids (including, but not exclusive to: butterflies, bees, beetles (for example, ladybird beetles), bugs, flies, and spiders); which are encapsulated in a plastic resin within a jewelry finding of precious, semi-precious or base metal or mineral.
2. Description of the Related Prior Art' Real objects, such as feathers, bones, flowers, seashells, have been used since prehistoric times as items of jewelry and adornment. The problem with more fragile objects such as flowers and feathers is that they deteriorate rapidly with use.
Jewelers resolved this problem by replicating natural objects such as flowers in their designs using gemstones, gold, silver, and other lasting and beautiful materials. For example, Sun (July 1984: U.S.
Patent D274,712; Appl. No. 378085) patented a design for a transparent ornament with butterflies and flowers. Nevertheless, the intrinsic beauty of a natural object can never be completely replicated.
This disadvantage may be overcome by using a variety of modern day plastic resins to encapsulate the natural object. T'he hardened plastic serves to protect fragile, beautiful objects such as dried flowers, leaves, feathers, or butterflies. Since plastics were discovered, these types of natural objects have been encapsulated in resins for a variety of other purposes.
Castable resins and liquid hardeners are used to preserve scientific specimens for microscope slide mounts and for biological displays. In other instances, various natural objects have been encapsulated in castable resins for use as paperweights, keychains, or Christmas tree ornaments. Plastinated preparations, whereby the natural fluids of a plant or animal specimen have been physically removed and replaced with a curable resin, are used to study anatomy. Taxidermy mounts are used to preserve entire animal specimens.
Types of display mounts for butterflies and dried plants (typically displayed on walls or shelves) include Rikker mounts, Shadowboxes, Artboard mounts, and sealed glass containers.
More recently, the prior art has provided numerous methods of preserving flattened, pressed, dried flowers as sealed ornaments in a two dimensional form. Ohkubo (1989; U.S.
Patent 4,885,037) described an invention whose object was to solve problems with conventional drying methods, by placing a dried and pressed plant between a substrate and a transparent sheet, and then eliminating the moist air between these two surfaces using various methods (such as using a dessicating agent), so as to preserve the integrity and colour of the plant. This invention applies to articles such as postcards, bookmarks, postal folders and labels.
Methods have been devised (Oct. 1987; Japanese Patent 63-239091 ) to attach a dried and pressed flower to cloth, by sandwiching the flower between a film having a low melting point and one with a higher melting point, pressing and heating the assembly to integrate the tlower with the low melting point film, and fixing the whole to the cloth.
Noguchi (Oct. 1995; U.S. Patent 5,456,776; Canadian Patent CA2,051,377) described a method of producing a sealed airless ornament whereby a dried and pressed flower is put in a state which gradually becomes a complete vacuum, with the flower placed between a base and a film having a low melting point, again with the purpose of eliminating problems associated with the presence of moisture and air in the plant. He suggested that in some cases the outermost film layer could be coated with resin if necessary.
In the same vein, Sugino (Dec. 1995; U.S. Patent 5,478,613) described a means of mounting a pressed flower assortment in an airtight frame for display, between a transparent plate and a baseboard containing a dessicant and/or deoxidant.
Henley (Oct. 1999; U.S. Patent 5,970,638) described a wall ornament using flat objects such as photographs, drawings, prints, or dried and pressed flowers, which are mounted between a transparent electrostatic vinyl sheet and a cover film. The enclosed objects are thus tightly sealed therein.
There is also some prior art relating to ornamental objects in a three dimensional form. Eberhart (March 1979; U.S. Patent 4,142,383) invented a method of producing decorative ornaments such as earrings or pendants, by providing a viscous liquid (such as glycerine admixed with clear miscible solvents) and a particulate metal and/or mineral through an opening in a hollow transparent glass envelope and then bonding a cap over the opening with a resin impervious to the liquid, The object is to provide an ornament that is pleasing to behold, since the metals and minerals appear to float in the liquid when they are agitated. And Lai (Aug. 1999; U.S. Patent 5,935,355) invented a method of manufacturing acrylic boards containing real flower materials, by first adhering the flowers to an artificial fiber paper or cloth using a glue solution soluble in an acrylic solution.
Then, the acrylic solution is poured into a mold holding the fiber paper or cloth with the flower materials adhered thereto. Finally, the acrylic board thus obtained is bent into a desirable shape.
T'he present invention is directed toward the use of three dimensional objects from the natural world as ornaments or articles of jewelry. This is because the shape of an object (such as a flower) is an integral part of its beauty and form. To press a flower into a two dimensional object detracts from the flower's original and integral beauty.
Furthermore, the prior art addresses only real flowers as forming the basis of the ornamental object. The present invention is directed not only to ornaments fabricated from real flowers in a three dimensional form, but also to ornaments made from other real plant parts, real insects and arachnids, and real feathers.
SUMMARY OF 'filE INVENTION
One of the primary objectives of the invention to resolve problems of making fragile natural objects durable enough to be used as articles of adornmeHt.
Another of the objectives of the invention is to use three dimensional natural articles as items of ornamentation and jewelry. Prior art has focused on the use of two dimensional natural articles, such as pressed flowers.
Another of the objectives of the invention is to use natural articles for ornamentation that have previously not been considered as ornaments, or more particularly, as items of jewelry. These natural articles include (but are not limited to) all manner of insects and arachnids, feathers from domesticated birds, and plant parts such as leaves, seeds, and fruiting bodies.
