Rims 'n' Rocks

Abstract

The invention is a mechanism and/or method by which objects can be studded with gemstone/gemstone imitations and where the stones are not set from the top of the object as has traditionally been the case in jewelry etc., but rather from the back allowing for both a cleaner finish, and also a system where the stones are removable, and therefore, easily interchangeable.

1 . The threaded case and the threaded house mechanism where the threaded case can be rotated (screwed) into the threaded house and where the threaded case has a cone shaped hollow space, where a gemstone/gemstone imitation will rest on its pavilion, on one end and a screwdriver style slit at the other end, and where the threaded house has one opening which has a diameter the same measurement as the diameter of the corresponding threaded case and another opening which is 1-2 mm smaller in diameter than the base diameter of the cone-shaped hollow space in the corresponding threaded case and with a conical angle similar to the crown angle of the gemstone/gemstone imitation which will fit in the corresponding threaded case.  
   
   
       2 . Additionally, I make a dependent claim of a modified version of the case mentioned above where the bottom of the case has a hole that goes through to the vertex of the cone shaped hollow space where a light source will be placed which will emit light up through the opening in the said vertex. That light will be refracted and reflected by the stone and emanated out the crown of the stone.  
   
   
       3 . Additionally, I make the dependent claim of a modified version of the case mentioned above where the bottom of the case has a large cylinder shaped hollow space that will serve as a heat sink where an insulation material may be packed.
