Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for setting a stone in a metal part.
- an operator applies a graver obliquely to the surface of a piece of metal to deform it. This causes the metal to deform to produce a collar that covers the periphery of the stone and immobilizes it in the metal element.
- Another drawback with this method is that it can be used to set stones only in metals such as gold or silver, that is metals having a certain ductility. If instead the method is applied to hard metals, such as titanium, it is found that the action of the graver acting obliquely to the surface of the piece of metal does not produce a collar because the metal breaks and forms a chip.
- Another drawback with the current setting method has to do with the fact that, in the case of pave settings, meaning many stones set side by side over the surface of a piece of jewelry or a watch, the area of metal bounded by the stones appears dull and does not contribute to setting off the stones.
- this method for setting at least one stone having a girdle in a piece of metal comprising the following steps:
- At least one hole is pierced in the piece of metal for receiving the stone
- a tool is applied perpendicularly to the surface of the piece of metal and close to the periphery of each hole, the end of said tool having a tip for pushing back a lip of metal onto the girdle of the stone, and forming at least one indentation comprising at least one light-reflecting facet.
- the method according to the invention therefore makes it possible to set pieces in an extremely hard metal because of the perpendicular action of a tool in deforming the metal and forming a lip.
- the indentation forming a lip has at least one facet, giving the setting according to the invention additional visual appeal.
- the tool is applied manually.
- the tool is applied mechanically.
- the invention also relates to a tool for carrying out the method, having at its end at least one surface ending in a tip.
- the tool may take:
- the tool has at its end a conical form ending in a tip
- the tool has at its end a tetrahedral form ending in a tip;
- the tool has at its end several facets converging toward a tip;
- the tool has a radius of 0.2 to 0.5 mm.
- the invention also relates to the product such as a jewel or timekeeper comprising a piece of metal on which is placed at least one stone having a girdle, said product being characterized in that it exhibits, around at least one stone, at least one indentation having a facet impressed into the surface of the piece of metal, forming a lip that covers the girdle of the stone.
- the entire surface of the piece of metal bounded by two or more stones is impressed with indentations.
- FIGS. 1-3 show the different steps in carrying out this method
- FIG. 4 is a top view of a product produced by this method.
- FIGS. 5-8 show several possible embodiments of a tool for carrying out the method according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows, in section, a piece of metal 1 with a hole 2 as is well known in setting techniques.
- This hole 2 comprises, near the surface of the piece of metal 1 , a conical seat 3 and a cylindrical part 3 .
- the conical seat 3 on which the stone is to rest is a very short distance, perhaps 0.1 to 0.2 millimeters, away from the surface of the piece of metal 1 .
- FIG. 2 shows the stone 5 placed in the hole 2 before setting has commenced.
- FIG. 2 shows a tool 6 approaching in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the piece of metal 1 .
- the tool 6 illustrated has a conical end terminating in a tip 12 .
- the tool can be seen to be applied to the surface of the piece of metal 1 .
- the material is pressed out away from the tip of the tool 6 and the material constituting the piece of metal 1 is therefore displaced to form a lip 8 over the girdle 9 of the stone 5 as it sits in the hole.
- This lip. 8 therefore serves to immobilize the stone 5 in its hole.
- the next step in the method is to use the tool 6 to form new indentations 11 in that surface of the piece of metal 1 which is bounded by the stones 5 .
- this shows the multiple indentations 11 produced in the inter-stone surfaces.
- these indentations 11 have facets—four facets in this case.
- the indentations 11 situated adjacent to the stones hold the stones in place, while the function of the other indentations 11 is to reflect the light.
- FIGS. 5-8 show several embodiments of the tool. These embodiments, though non-restrictive, nonetheless all have the common feature that the end of the tool consists of a tip 12 at its end. This tip 12 , applied perpendicularly to the surface of the metal, displaces even the hardest metal to form a lip 8 .
- FIG. 5 shows a tool with a pyramidal end.
- FIG. 6 shows a tool with a tetrahedral end.
- FIG. 7 shows a tool with a conical end.
- FIG. 8 shows a tool whose end has four facets.
- the process thus described has many advantages. It can be used to set stones in an extremely hard metal, such as titanium, because the tool used to deform the metal and create a lip over the girdle of the stone acts perpendicularly to the surface of the piece of metal that is to hold the stones.
- the fact that the tool has an end which will give the indentation a smooth surface procures an additional effect in that the indentation that holds the stone in place also reflects the light.
- Another advantage of the method according to the invention is that it can be used to set stones in an internal surface or in an uneven surface.
- the surface set by the method according to the invention has a continuous appearance which causes the set stones to appear as if aligned in rows and columns.
- the method is particularly suitable for setting in hard metals such as titanium, it can also be used in metals such as gold, silver or steel.
