Double post gemstone setting

Abstract

A gemstone setting that includes at least two gemstones arranged in a side-to-side configuration. The configuration forms a gemstone arrangement that has four corners. The setting also includes four posts which secure the four corners of the gemstone arrangement. The gemstone arrangement is also held in place by a support. The support supports the gemstone arrangement at a midpoint between the corners of the gemstone arrangement.

1 . A gemstone setting comprising: 
 at least two gemstones arranged in a side-to-side configuration forming a gemstone arrangement having four corners;    four double posts for securing the corners of the gemstone arrangement; and    support means for supporting the gemstone arrangement.    
   
   
       2 . The gemstone arrangement as claimed in  claim 1  whereby the double posts are two cylindrical posts that abut one another.  
   
   
       3 . The gemstone arrangement as claimed in  claim 1  whereby the double posts have a proximal end and a distal end.  
   
   
       4 . The gemstone arrangement as claimed in  claim 3  whereby each proximal end has a notch for holding the corner of a gem arrangement.  
   
   
       5 . The gemstone arrangement as claimed in  claim 4  whereby the double post is at an angle of approximately 45 degrees with respect to the corner of the gemstone arrangement.  
   
   
       6 . The gemstone arrangement as claimed in  claim 5  whereby the distal ends of the double posts are curved inwardly.  
   
   
       7 . The gemstone arrangement as claimed in  claim 6  whereby the distal ends of the double posts converge into a single post directly below a center point of the gemstone arrangement.  
   
   
       8 . The gemstone arrangement as claimed in  claim 7  whereby the support means is anchored to a single side of the double posts at a midway point between the notches and the convergence point.  
   
   
       9 . The gemstone arrangement as claimed in  claim 1  whereby the gemstones are princess cut gemstones.  
   
   
       10 . The gemstone arrangement as claimed in  claim 1  whereby the gemstones are emerald cut gemstones.  
   
   
       11 . The gemstone arrangement as claimed in  claim 1  whereby the gemstones include a table and a girdle, the girdle of the gemstones being in juxtaposition to each other forming a large square surface.  
   
   
       12 . The gemstone arrangement as claimed in  claim 11  whereby the large square surface is substantially flat.  
   
   
       13 . The gemstone arrangement as claimed in  claim 1  whereby the gemstone arrangement provides means for increasing the surface area of the gems.  
   
   
       14 . The gemstone arrangement as claimed in  claim 13  whereby the increased surface area creates an appearance of a single large gemstone.  
   
   
       15 . The gemstone arrangement as claimed in  claim 1  whereby the gemstone setting allows more light to pass through the tables of the gemstones.  
   
   
       16 . The gemstone arrangement as claimed in  claim 1  whereby the gemstone setting allows light to be received on both sides of the gemstone.  
   
   
       17 . The gemstone arrangement as claimed in  claim 1  whereby the support means includes a horizontal cross bar and a vertical stabilization bar.
