NITE TATES FLORENCE I. ,I-IAMllOND, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
ARTICLE OF JEWELRY.
Application filed. August 11, 1923.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FLORENCE I. HAM- MUND, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful improvement in Articles oi Jewelry, of which the following is a full, clear, concise, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.
My invention relates to an article of jewelry and while I shall illustrate and describe the invention in connection with embodiments appearing in the term or rings and bracelets, it is to he understood that the invention is not to be limited to rings and bracelets but applies to articles of jewelry such as are worn upon the body or clothing. More specifically my invention relates to the mounting o1 ornamental articles such as stones, beads and the like, upon an article of jewelry for the purpose of giving it a changeable and attractive appearance. So far as I am aware it is new to have a cluster 01 stones, heads or other ornamental articles mounted upon an article or jewelry of this character for the purpose of tree movement o'i such stones, beads and the like to permit them to be cisplayed more ireely and to give a l ght and dainty appearance to a group oi (n'naments which would otherwise appear heavy and uncouth.
According to my invention I mount a plurality oi pendant stones, beads or the like upon a ring, bracelet or other article of jewelry by means of links which permit free motion of such linked articles with respect to the rin thereby giving the ring and its pendant ornaments a live and sparkling appearance which is highly desirable. I may if desired make the iinkage so short that the pendant stones, beads or the like, which I shall herein term oendants, shall not contact with the skin the wearer or the article of clothing upon which the device is mounted, and shall only contact with the mounting of the pendant o.. the article ot' jewelry. This may however be varied.
In order to acquaint those skilled in the art with the manner of constructing and using my invention I shall. now describe the same in connection with the accompanying drawings which illustra. s an embodiment of the same.
Serial No. 656,859.
In the drawings:
Figure l is a :tront elevational view of a ring embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is an isometric view of the same.
Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view taken on line 83 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view of one of the pendants.
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary elevational View of a ring and escutcheon plate with a plurality of eyes for mounting the pendants.
Fig. (i is a front elevational view of a modified form of ring embodying the, invention.
Fig. 7 is an isometric view of a bracelet embodying the invention, 7
Fig. 8 is a cross sectional View taken on the line 8-8 of Fig. 7, and;
Fig. 9 is a fragmentary view of a modified form of mounting the pendant in the case of precious or semiprecious stones.
As indicated in Fig. 1, the band or body 1 of the ring is split and the ends are brought under the escutcheon plate 2 which is mounted centrally upon the ring, being secured thereto in any suitable manner. The band of the ring is thus split merely for convenience and not of necessity, to adapt the same band to dilierent sizes. If desired, and
as shown in Fig. (i, a solid band may be emthereon the eyes 3 which in the present case are iilustrated as being punched up out of the stockof plate 2. This manner of forming the eyes is inexpensive and convenient but the eyes may be formed by attaching separate pieces of metal to the face of the plate 2 or in any other well known manner. A series of small links 4 are passed through the eyes 3 and are linked with each other to form a loose and flexible mounting for the pendant members 5 which have shanks 6 formed thereon as illustrated in Fig. 4. These pendants 5 may be made of metallic beads, glass or other beads, precious or semi precious stones or any combination of the same. The particular material of which the pendants 5 are constructed and their particular appearance is not of the essence of the present invention. However,it is highly desirable that these beads or pendants be of an attractive appearance and that they be of such character that they give a more or less sparkling and lively appearance as they move about. It is highly desirable that these pendants be as fluent in their motion as possible, to enhance the appearance of the ring. Obviously, such freedom and facility of motion gives them a live and attractive appearance. However. movement of tne pendants may be confined to some extent by the mounting. ldurtlierniore, the lin'iiting oi the motion oi? the pendants by the mounting is desirable in that it preserves the proper color schen'ze and symmetry which might othernise be defeated, by too great an extent of travel of the pendant. It is not necessary that the intermediate links 4. be all li:
"ed to each other nor in iact that they be co; mum. to a plurality of pendants, but l have found such construction to be advantageous and desirable.
Any. desired number 01 itiounting eyes on the escutcheon plate 2 n y be provided. I have found that mount these pendants ironi a plurality oi? points is more dcsiral ile than connecting them all to a coi'nnion central point because it permits greater i i-eedoni of motion.
In rig. 5 l have shown tour of the eyes on escutcheon plate 2 for i'nounting the pendants. In Figure 6 have shown merely a central eye 7 to which are connected the intermediate links 8- 3. The pendants 55, only two of which are shown in Figure 6, have their shanks 6 connected through the links 63 with the central eye T. It will be observed in Fig. (3 that the links 8 and pend ant-s when extended permit the pendant to contact with the outer rim of the n'iountingr 9 which merely an integral enlargement of the band it) or the ring.
l have shown in Fi 7 a bracelet 11 embodying the invention. 'l hc bracelet com- PI'LSQ. a split band which in this case is formed o i relatively thin metal harino; integral eyes 123 struck up therefrom as in the case 01 the escutcheon plate of the rin above referred to. @hiiously these eyes may be formed in any other manner as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. To these eyes 133 there are connected clusters l-fl oi pendants such as the pendant 5 above described and illustrated. The pendants connected to the eves through the mediary suitable links 15 which may be individualh connected to the eyes and to the pendants or they may be linked together and to the and to the pendants. he linkage connwtion in this cas also. is desigued to permit great treedou'i or fluidity of motion or the pendant so as to give them the desired eliect.
i do not intend the invention to be limited to bracelets t!=-l rincs or such articles as ar worn directly upon the skin 0'? the user, but also to such other articles of iewelry a are mounted upon the clothing or person of the user. I am aware that beaded fringes and the like are old in the art, but my invention has nothing in common with them.
I do not intend to be confined to the details shown or described. The pendants 5 are preferably of a material or color which coi'itrasts sharply with the mount-in In Fig. 4: l have illustrated one form of connecting the bead the pendant with the eye 6. Obviously this may be varied. ll here precious or semi precious stones are employed the stone or lead 5 may be grasped in prongs lti lying outside of the stone or head is common in mounting such stones in a sttionary mounting.
The loose 1;. i the pendants perll'lltS the same to t so that a glove may be drawn upon the hand without serious interference.
I claim:
1. An article of jewelry con'lprisingv a band adapted to en'ibrace a portion of the body of the wearer, a mounting plate mounted on said band, said mountirg plate having a plurality of eyes formed thereon, and a plurality oi pendants freely linked to said eyes.
2. An article of jewelry comprising a band adapted to embrace a portion of the b dy ot the wearer, said band having a polygonal plate mounted thereon, a plurality 0'! eyes punched out of the stock of said plate, said eyes projecting; outwardly from and substantially perpendicular to the plate, and a plurality oi pendants freely link d to said eyes and capa le of having motion in all directions, but limited by each other and by said polygonal plate.
3. An article of jewelry comprising a band adapted to embrace a portion of the bod oi the wearer, a. polygonal plate n a plurality of eyes uncueo. out of said plate, a series of links h said eyes and linked with iorin a tlexi ale mounting, and ity of pendants loosely mounted on article of jewelry comprising a iapted to embrace a portion or the or the wearer, band havi plate mounted thereon, said plate four eyes punched out of its c to project o t. ardly and substantim perpendicular thereto. the top portions of stain eyes being: elatively d the openinp s therein beingrelatively irctaugula in "form. a plurality links passing th atirely rectangular openings in said a fleiriole mounting, and
so as to form hereunto subscribe ..aiue this 8 day ct August, 1923.
