Arrangement for article of jewelry

Abstract

A jewelry arrangement having a mounting, a main gemstone positioned in the mounting, and a plurality of secondary gemstone positioned in the mounting underneath the main gemstone. The main gemstone can have a crown with a table and a pavilion, wherein the table can be positioned adjacent and at a first distance from the plurality of secondary gemstones. The main gemstone can also have a plurality of side which converge toward each other and have a plurality of facets. The sides can coverage towards a top which can be a second distance from the secondary gemstones such that the first distance is less than the second distance. An optical illusion can be created by orienting a main gemstone above a first number of secondary gemstones and configuring the main gemstone so that when the secondary gemstones are viewed through the main gemstone, a second number of secondary gemstones is visible such that the second number is greater than the first number.

1 . A jewelry arrangement, comprising:
 a mounting;   a plural amount of secondary gemstones mounted in the mounting,   a prismatic element mounted in the mounting above the secondary gemstones, having a longitudinal axis extending away from the secondary gemstones, and including a pavilion having a plurality of sides that coverage towards each other towards a top of the prismatic element in a direction away from the secondary gemstones, and having a surface facing the secondary gemstones, wherein the sides and surface facing the gemstones cooperate to produce an optical illusion in which the number of secondary gemstones is increased when viewed from within a predetermined angle from the longitudinal axis on a side opposite the secondary gemstones.   
   
   
       2 . The jewelry arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein each side has a plurality of facets, at least one facet being positioned entirely above another facet. 
   
   
       3 . The jewelry arrangement of  claim 2 , wherein the facets are arranged in a direction towards the top 
   
   
       4 . The jewelry arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the prismatic element comprises a substantially flat table facing the secondary gemstones. 
   
   
       5 . The jewelry arrangement of  claim 4 , wherein the prismatic element is a main gemstone that includes a crown, which includes the table. 
   
   
       6 . The jewelry arrangement of  claim 4 , wherein the table is disposed at a first distance from the secondary gemstones, and the top being a second distance away from the secondary gemstones, the first distance being less than half of the second distance. 
   
   
       7 . The jewelry arrangement of  claim 4 , wherein the top is one of a flat surface and a culet of the pavilion. 
   
   
       8 . The jewelry arrangement of  claim 4 , wherein the shape of the main gemstone when viewed from the top is selected from the group consisting of square, rectangle, quadrillion, hexagon, round, oval, heart, and pear. 
   
   
       9 . The jewelry arrangement of  claim 4 , wherein the secondary gemstones are arranged in a secondary gemstone arrangement, and the table has a surface that is at least as large as the secondary gemstone arrangement. 
   
   
       10 . The jewelry arrangement of  claim 4 , wherein the main gemstone is selected from the group consisting of a precious stone, a semi-precious stone and an artificial stone. 
   
   
       11 . The jewelry arrangement of  claim 10 , wherein the plurality of secondary gemstones are selected from at least one of the group consisting of a precious stone, a semi-precious stone and an artificial stone. 
   
   
       12 . The jewelry arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the secondary gemstones are arranged in a box shape having a number of rows and columns, and the prismatic element is configured such that the optical illusion includes at least one additional row. 
   
   
       13 . The jewelry arrangement of  claim 12 , wherein the prismatic element is configured such that the optical illusion includes at least one additional column. 
   
   
       14 . The jewelry arrangement of  claim 13 , wherein the prismatic element is configured such that the optical illusion includes at least two additional rows and columns. 
   
   
       15 . A jewelry arrangement, comprising:
 a mounting;   a prismatic element positioned in the mounting, the prismatic element having a longitudinal axis, a top, a substantially flat bottom surface, a plurality of sides, a plurality of facets on each side, wherein the plurality of sides converge towards the top of the prismatic element and wherein at least one facet is positioned above another facet on each side; and   an actual number of secondary articles positioned in the mounting adjacent the bottom surface of the prismatic element;   wherein the prismatic element is sized and configured so that when viewed from the top of the prismatic element, an illusory number of secondary articles is visible, the illusory number being greater than the actual number.   
   
   
       16 . The jewelry arrangement of  claim 15 , wherein the sides converge towards a point. 
   
   
       17 . The jewelry arrangement of  claim 15 , wherein the sides coverage towards a flat surface. 
   
   
       18 . A method for creating an optical illusion in a jewelry arrangement, comprising:
 orienting a main gemstone in a mounting so that a flat bottom surface of the main gemstone is a first distance from a first number of secondary gemstones and a top most portion of the main gemstone is a second distance from the first number of secondary gemstones, wherein the first distance is less than the second distance;   positioning a first number of secondary gemstones in the mounting below the flat bottom surface of the main gemstone; and   configuring the main gemstone so that when viewing the secondary gemstones through the main gemstone, a second number of secondary gemstones is visible through the main gemstone, the second number being greater than the first number.   
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the main gemstone has a girdle, a plurality of sides, and a plurality of facets on each side, wherein the plurality of sides converge towards the top most portion of the main gemstone and wherein each facet has a facet axis which is perpendicular to the facet, the method further comprising viewing the secondary gemstones through the main gemstone at an angle between the longitudinal axis and the facet axis of at least one facet.
